Hi! I'm in an online course to learn to use Adobe XD, but I haven't been able to find where to download it... It doesn't seem to be in any adobe link nor listed in the creative cloud apps. Can someone help me please? (I'm in Canada)

    Correct answer Chris W. Griffith

    Due to the merger, both Adobe and Figma can't say much. Here is my take: Adobe has stopped almost all effort on XD, and is actively discouraging new users. Thus, migrating to Figma or other tool would be the wisest option. If the merger occurs (I am not holding my breath), then Figma will be the design tool of choice within the Creative Cloud offerings. If the merger does not happen, Figma continues to maintain is place as a popular solution among designers.

      Well, I signed up for Adobe MAX again this year and went to filter course offerings by area of interest... this year UX is not an option. Then I went to filter by software title and XD is not an option (nor is Figma). There are also so few UX/UI courses this year in general. Last year there was a smorgasbord of them. Adobe is pretty much skipping this topic at MAX this year, sadly.

        The show is going to 75% about using AI tools in their product line anyway....  You would be off watching the session from the recent Figma conference and less likely to contract Covid 😉

        I had a feeling it was going to be mostly AI centered.

        I have just made a video all about how I need to approach giving up XD and shifting over to Figma, I struggled with the switch over and I hope I have some great chat points in the video for the XD community and how we need to face the facts.

        https://youtu.be/oF-6uB_x1Wo I hope its a help for you guys.

        Hi @Leslie2628726265vb ,

         

        Adobe XD is no longer available for purchase as a single application but will continue to be supported for existing users. XD will continue to be available as part of our Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps subscription. We will continue to support existing Adobe XD customers.

         

        Thanks

        Rishabh

          Hey Rishabh, 
          Are you able to share Adobe's plan on if there's anything coming to replace Adobe XD? Will new subscribers get access to Figma? My team uses prototyping tools often for our day to day work and we are working to align expectations moving forward for our tooling. 

          Anything you can share would be helpful! 
          Thank you.

              XD is no longer available as a stand-alone download. If you have a certifacte for it for your course, contact the course admins or Adobe support. XD is effectively sunseted. I strongly recommend you learn another actively supported tool for your design work.

                      We are probably millions of AdobeXD user s that still need to download and work with our design files, so please provide a download link - forcing us to buy the full pacakge I am sure is not legally permitted. You cannot discontinue like that, so please take responsibility and give your user propertime to migrate!

                        I believe it was bound to happen, so I switched my team to Figma earlier this year. I've been using XD for a long time. Adobe has a history of doing this, like when they bought Macromedia. I'm pretty certain they'll eventually put a countdown on XD and phase it out.
