Re: Is the free version of adobe XD gone?

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Sep 08, 2025

The free version has long since been removed. XD is only available with a full subscription to Creative Cloud. In addition, the product is no longer under active development (aka it is dead). Your career would be best served by learning a new tool.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Sep 02, 2025

It has been 3 years, so I am going to say no. I would invest the time in learning a new solution.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Sep 02, 2025

Figma is the 800 lb gorilla in the UX space. That is what I migrated to.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Sep 01, 2025

That is the unfortunate truth about XD. It has been a dead product for about 3 years.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Sep 01, 2025

XD has not been under active development for a number of years. There is a notice when launching the app about it being in maintenance mode. It is kept alive solely for legacy work. While it was a great tool, any future design work should be done in another tool.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Aug 22, 2025

The quick answer is no. XD will help you design it, but it does not produce any code. There were some plugins or services that did this, but XD is a dormant product, so they may not be active anymore. You can search the forum for past posts on this. Figma is offering a design-to-code solution, but I have not tried it.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Jul 15, 2025

I think the updates were more about addressing cloud-related issues and not anything "new". The release notes were very vague as to what might have been addressed. I still recommend finding a migration path away from XD.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎May 19, 2025

XD is no longer available to purchase as a standalone product. The only way to get it is via an All-Apps subscription. Note: the app is in maintenance mode (aka no longer in development). So, unless you are working with legacy files, it is not worth investing in.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎May 09, 2025

No. Adobe shut down two years ago. The team has all been either moved on to other projects or left Adobe.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Apr 21, 2025

This issue will never be fixed. XD is in maintenance mode, and only security-related issues might be addressed by Adobe.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Apr 16, 2025

That is in part why they kept it in maintenance mode, to avoid the level of backlash Adobe got after the Flex/Flash abandonment. I wish either Adobe or Figma had created a migration tool. I spent countless hours manually migrating my XD files into Figma.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Apr 16, 2025

Not really. If you search the forum, you can find that this question has been asked before. Figma has better exporting tools and is an actively maintained product. If you are starting a new project, I would look at that as an option. Chris

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Apr 09, 2025

My condelences on the MacBook. I don't recall anything that did that. I am afraid you are going to have to rebuild your XD files. Personally, I would take this opportunity to convert them to Figma instead. Also, I would look at proper back up solutions for your data (cloud, external hard drive).

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Apr 09, 2025

Clone the artboard and remove the covering asset(s).

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Mar 28, 2025

There is no XD team. The product is effectively dead. You would be wise to switch to a new design tool.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Mar 18, 2025

The product is in "Maintenance Mode", so the simple answer is no. For all purposes, treat XD as a discontinued product and you should find a new solution.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Mar 10, 2025

Please read the comments in this thread. The short answer is you can design the visual look, but it will NOT produce any HTML.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Mar 10, 2025

This font style is now no longer an option. The rest of the Future PT family is still there, including Demi Oblique.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Feb 18, 2025

You know that the product is in maintenance mode, and apart from security fixes it is not being worked on. So, yes Adobe is NOT taking this product seriously as it is effectively dead.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Feb 05, 2025

The product is dead. The only updates would be if a serious issue (think security flaw) arises. It is kept around for legacy work only. So, to answer the last part of your question, is yes you need to switch to another tool, which is probably Figma.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Jan 29, 2025

The product is in maintenance mode, and no active development is occurring on it. This issue will never be addressed.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Jan 29, 2025

The product is in maintenance mode and there is no active development occurring on the product. Either accept the issue or migrate to a new tool (ie Figma)

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Jan 21, 2025

XD is in maintenance mode, so I highly, highly doubt this will be addressed.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Jan 15, 2025

If you have the All Apps plan, it should be there. If you just bought the plan, it can take a bit for it to appear. Otherwise, contact support via the chat and they can work some backend magic to have it show up. This is a known issue.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Jan 08, 2025

Have you tried a different font? Since XD is in maintaince mode, this issue will remain.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Jan 07, 2025

Odds are they was an API change in the plug-in system, and none of the XD plugin developers bothered to invest time and money to update them. Given the XD is in maintaince mode, I don't blame them. I doubt this issue will acutally be solved.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Jan 07, 2025

Since XD is in maintaince mode, I would not expect a fix. If you continue to use Xd (which I advise against), you are going to have to stay with the workflow you have outlined. Wish I had better options for you.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Dec 16, 2024

Adobe is actively hidding it as the product is in maintaince mode and will likely by EOL at some point. If you Creative Cloud App should include it, then you have to contect Adobe support so they can make it available to you.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Dec 15, 2024

Yes. XD never produced HTML.

Chris W. Griffith · ‎Oct 14, 2024

See the comments above, but the short answer is no.
