Features

• 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, 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 smoothly from macOS to Windows. For security, prototypes can be sent with password protections to ensure full disclosure.
• Voice design: Apps can be designed using voice commands. In addition, what users create for smart assistants can be previewed as well.
• Symbols: Users can create symbols to represent logos and buttons. Symbols can be used to drag and drop items on to artboards and organized them to be reused.
• 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 PC's.
