Adobe XD creates user interfaces for mobile and web apps. Many features in XD were previously either hard to use or nonexistent in other Adobe applications like
Illustrator or
Photoshop.
Repeat grid Helps creating a grid of repeating items such as lists, and photo galleries.
Prototype and animation Creates animated prototypes through linking artboards. These prototypes can be previewed on supported mobile devices.
Interoperability XD supports and can open files from
Illustrator,
Photoshop,
Sketch, and
After Effects. In addition to the Adobe Creative Cloud, XD can also connect to other tools and services such as Slack and Microsoft Teams to collaborate. XD is also able to auto-adjust and move from macOS to Windows. For security, prototypes can be sent with password protection to ensure full disclosure.
Content-Aware Layout Design and edit components without the nudging or the tinkering. Content-Aware Layout aligns and evenly-spaces as you add, remove, or resize objects. Make adjustments with smart controls and get back to exploring.
Voice design Apps can be designed using voice commands. In addition, what users create for smart assistants can be previewed as well.
Components Users can create components to create logos, buttons, and other assets for reuse. Their appearance can change with the context where they are used.
Responsive resize Responsive resize automatically adjusts and sizes pictures and other objects on the artboards. This allows the user to have their content automatically adjusted for different screens for different sized platforms such as mobile phones and PCs.
Plugins XD is compatible with custom plugins that add additional features and uses. Plugins range from design to functionality, automation and animation. ==Design education==
