Adobe InDesign vs Adobe XD

Adobe InDesign is a desktop publishing and page layout application developed by Adobe Inc. for designing print and digital media including magazines, books, brochures, posters, and interactive PDFs. It provides precise typographic controls, master pages, and integration with other Adobe Creative Cloud applications. InDesign supports EPUB and Publish Online output formats.

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.
