Adobe Experience Design (abbreviated as Adobe XD) is an industry-renowned user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design software used to develop realistic UI and UX designs for desktop, mobile, and web applications. Product designers typically use Adobe XD to create interactive prototypes, wireframes, user testing, and real-world quality designs to envision or emulate the intended product. Adobe XD key features include design tools (vector design, responsive redesign, repeat grid), prototyping (interactive prototypes, voice prototyping, auto animation), collaboration (co-editing, easy to share for review, easy design specs generation), component and assets management (reusable components, digital asset management)
With its comprehensive toolset, Adobe XD is essential for product teams to develop prototypes for digital experiences and processes. Use the keyboard shortcuts for align, arrange, distribute, text, operations, and tools to boost your speed and efficiency with Adobe XD.
