Figma VS Adobe XD (2020) | Best Web Design Tool

Which is better: Figma vs Adobe XD? Maybe there is no best web design tool and each has its strengths? Does it even matter? I'll be answering all of these questions in this video.

I recently told you guys that I had switched over to Adobe XD, and I got some questions when you found out that I had been using Figma to redesign the current Flux Academy website. So, I'm here to explain the switch and help you decide on Figma vs Adobe XD.

If you're confused about which web design software to use then think about it this way: Think about your needs. Think about which software offers the features that fulfill those needs. Do what works best for you. Do what's easier, more seamless and cheaper for you.

Once you've figured out your needs and decided on a tool, you'll realize that it's all situational and that there really is no "best". The best web design tools are the ones you do your best work with. In the end, it's all about doing good work.

Which web design software do you use and why? Let me know in the comments.

Figma is way more reliable for components, and has way less glitches. Also the canvas size on XD is way too small for any mid-size project. 100% recommend Figma

[monicasdesignprocess]

I completely agree it's totally within the context of the project. A lot of tech companies, like the one I work for, use Figma for the collaboration feature, it's more of an enterprise tool. But for my own projects, I use Adobe XD (I also think it's just a better design tool and works more seamlessly with other Adobe programs).

The good thing about Figma is that it's free for students like myself!!🤭

[DKingFisher]

It's not about which one is better. It's about which one is more in demand. People would buy infamous branded items for a high price (for example apple sheeps) but won't pay for better items if they are not of a famous brand. From my experience in different marketplaces, I can say that Figma is 95%+ more sought after than adobe XD. Almost every single UX projects come with Figma in the tag. I rarely see Adobe XD.

I adore how realistic and to the point you are on your channel! It's just about the only channel that doesn't frustrate me because I don't have a lot of time to digest the info I need! Thank you!

It's true that there is no big difference between them. However in this case, small things make one better than the other. I like Figma better because it's faster, align to grid is better, it has more and better plugins and because of so much more things.

It's a matter of preference. Personally though, it's all about getting that job done.

Besides, it's not hard to switch between the design tools these days. They are so similar in the way that they function.

Best thing is to try em out and see what works for you and stick with it.. Simple as that.. 😆

Adobe kills my pc's performance even when im not using it

[fayihanifmuhyiddin]

Sometimes i'm using Ubuntu beside Windows. I think figma is more than XD because figma is cross platform. Just my opinion 🙏

[anthonyanalytics]

I’ve started using both but have been leaning more Figma for my use cases.

[obvinpro]

She doesn't need to pay for Adobe XD to use it, its free for at least 2 shared projects and unlimited designs and prototype

[Ndriana]

So between the lines, can we read: the Sketch + InVision combo is a dated 2015 thing?

[empessah]

I am so torn on this also I like XD and Figma a lot. i think I use XD more because its included in my adobe package also.

[mariu]

Starting using Figma cause Adobe XD UX is annoying. It´s so stupid how it manage groups and swatches. :X
Loving Figma btw!

[g]

XD can't run on my mac anymore as its older. not paying for a new one. Sticking with Figma

[monarchgamr]

an update for this video in 2022 will be much appreciated

[virtualmaven]

I stumble upon your video while leaning figma. Actually we are transitioning from XD to Figma. I don't maybe it's just me but I find Xd a little bit easier to use. I'm having a little challenges. So sad adobe discontinued XD.

[KaptivatedMusic]

bruh. i googled “figma vs. adobe xd” THIS MORNING and you upload this video 2 hours later 🤯

[JakePomperDesign]

I don’t trust XD for design systems yet. Figma has been pretty much flawless since I switched from sketch

[zcztvls]

Figma is so much better for UI/UX design and prototyping!
