Adobe Illustrator vs Adobe XD

It provides precision drawing tools with anchor point editing, a comprehensive pen tool, and support for Adobe Firefly AI-powered features. Illustrator is available on desktop and iPad.

Adobe XD was a vector-based UI/UX design tool developed by Adobe Inc. for designing and prototyping user experiences for web and mobile applications. Adobe discontinued XD in 2023, ceasing new sales and feature development. Existing subscribers can continue using the application, but Adobe now directs users to Figma following its partnership agreement.
