Hi All,

We understand that this is a highly viewed thread on XD community and thank you for reaching out. We would like to inform you that you can use the plugin "Web Export" which allows you to extract HTML and CSS from your design.

You can also use Adobe XD plug-ins that allow for extracting HTML and CSS. Select Plugins > Discover Plugins and search using keywords such as web, or HTML, CSS.

Like it was correctly pointed out in this thread, Adobe Muse is no longer under development. You can use Adobe XD to create high-res prototypes of websites (responsive even!) that can be shared with your stakeholders and developers. Your developers will then have to translate your vision to code using the tool of their choice.

Having said that, I encourage you to have a look at these videos that will help you quickly create prototypes of websites in Adobe XD.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. If I get it, you wish to know how you can apply the prototype created in XD to develop the project? If yes, XD allows you to design the application and create a Prototype and then it is shared with the developers to develop that application. If that's not what you were looking for, I would request if you can explain a bit more, we'll surely try to help you.

Regards

アドバイス、ありがとうございます。

作成したプロトタイプをエンジニアと共有して、アプリケーションの開発が行えること自体は理解しております。

具体的に、どのような手順でプロトタイプをエンジニアと共有して、エンジニアの作業効率を向上できるのか、そのイメージが湧いておりません。

例えばXDの機能として、HTMLやJavascriptのコードを生成して、それをエンジニアに渡せば、あとはエンジニアが必要なコードを追加するだけでUIが完成するのか、といった具体的な手順が知りたいのです。

よろしくお願いします。

I'm making a prototype for a website which includes the zoomed in picture into the picture on the website. I have added hover self animations for the menu on the top which changes the colour and hover animations which makes the buttons bigger for the buttons below. However, after exporting, none of the effects work, the css has been linked and exported but doesn't work. Even the picture doesn't phase into the website. Please help, I need to export the prototype into a whole website with all the animations.

I am not shure but you can check the path to image. Usually after publishing you need to show the correct path to the item.

Check out the plugin in "Discover Plugins" in XD: Quest AI. Converts artboards into one single responsive HTML page. You can design your entire site in XD and then just export each page to Quest and setup a domain with them. Also, you can add buttons and videos, animations, CMS, with no code. NOT a prototype, actual HTML.

Check it out here too: http://www.quest.ai

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out. I was able to install the plugin succcesfully and then signed up using the free plan. I have tried exporting a single artboard and it showed up fine on Quest AI. Would you mind elaborating more about the problem here so that we can try our best to help?

Hi Mamalim,

Sorry to hear that you're unable to download the plugin. Could you please help us with some more details like?

What is the error message you're getting?
What is the OS and XD version you are using?

Please check out this article Issues installing XD plugins and let us know if that works for you.

Awaiting your response.

I find it incredible that it is not possible to simply publish the design developed in XD to the web, especially after dropping Muse like a hot potato. Extraordinary oversight that means I will continue to explore other avenues for web design. Who the hell wants to do this twice?

This is not an answer. Muse is discontinued. Check the link.

Adobe dropped the ball on this. Advertising wonderful UI tools and not providing a way to export meaningful CSS is really limiting to designers, regardless of your experience.

Find a way Adobe. It should not be that difficult.

So, from the Adobe prescribed list of plugins, there is only one that I see that fits my request. Web Export allows you to export your XD work into CSS and HTML and it does an OK job. My one complaint is that it left all my icons as SVG code, which did not sit well with my developer.

What other plugin supports the export into usable code? Exporting into a picture does not help the coding of the page, especially with interactive, data driven content.

Your video suggestions deal with the creation of the XD page, not exporting into workable code.

Having said that, yes XD does provide developers with content that they can turn into code. I just wish the exporting into Dreamweaver was seamless.

I'm a one woman show, a designer making my own portfolio web site. I went from Dreamweaver to Muse and am never going back. Will Export to web do the trick? Does it generate the complete (CSS, HTML and any other necessary script) package like Muse?

Muse is being discontinued, so you may not be using it for much longer!

So far, Xd feels like baking a cake and then not getting to eat it. Or waiting for the other shoe to drop. Or.. fill in the blank, because it stops short of generating the HTML/CSS for you.

Adobe XD now has plug-ins that allow for extracting HTML and CSS. Select Plugins > Discover Plugins and search using keywords such as web, or HTML, CSS.

If you have used any of these plugins, we would like to know your observations on how you found them.

- Were you able to successfully use these tools to extract HTML and CSS?

- How easy was the handoff to the developer? Were the developers readily able to work with the code?

- Did you face any challenges that you want to share?

- Do you have any favourites?

While we are still on this topic, Adobe XD allows you to export assets Learn how to export production-ready assets from Adobe XD to PNG, SVG, JPG, and PDF files. that you can share with your developers. This helps reduce developer effort and production time. You can also share design specs containing design properties of files with developers Design specs .
