I'm officially switching to Figma from Xd with pain in my heart. Adobe Xd has served me well since it came out, but I think that Adobe will continue with Figma and kill Xd eventually. Lot's of videos about Figma from now on! I will start with the basics of Figma, so don't worry. I will help everyone who also want to make this transition.
Nice! i've moved to Figma already but there are some features in XD that I hope adobe will implement in Figma like Repeat Grid, drag n drop image to object (faster/easier in XD compared to Figma's process), and fewer clicks to adjust mask box. pretty sure there's still more but this mini list is a big plus already.
Repeat grid is amazing but with figmas auto layout it gives you more power to make touches and adjustments in a similar manner and also helps when creating prototypes
Please do some targeted content on how to move from XD to Figma. Eg Component states, libraries etc. I already use both at work and can absolutely see the advantage of Figma’s web based ease, sharing and collaboration. However there are still some real advantages with XD that I really hope will transition into Figma. For example video has just arrived in Figma, but still no support for Lottie file animations. XD is much easier to use from an Adobe perspective. Sharing how you navigate your transition from XD to Figma would be really valuable. So with that in mind, I’ve just subscribed to your channel! Can’t wait.

Not great news but equates to designers having to switch from QuarkXpress to InDesign. Equates to the demise of Adobe Muse too! Arghh!!! Well time to learn Figma...thanks Rino!
Remember GoLive? It was AWESOME! I loved it, but when Adobe acquired Macromedia's Dreamweaver, GoLive was killed. As a result I started doing website design differently and never moved on to the Dreamweaver product. I've tried it a few times, but it's so damn cumbersome. I'm not moving to Figma till I have to. their interface sucks, and doesn't have the adobe-like interface. Unfortunately I'm a UX/UI designer, so at some point I'll have to bite the bullet. But util then.....I'll go kicking and screaming. ; )
I used to use XD exclusively when it was completely free, so I switched to Figma when they introduced pricing, not because I wanted to use free tools, but rather because Adobe had stopped allowing my region (ZW) to purchase their products. Now that they have Figma, Figma very soon will not work in my country, so switching to Sketch will be the best choice.
The journey continues, I taught myself XD for a year now since I'm in the Adobe ecosystem. But yeah, we gotta switch for the 'better' and I feel you for the transition. Lez go!
The only thing i miss in Figma is some integration with Photoshop, like XD does, just by adding a simple "edit in Photoshop" feature for image editions, it would be a great improvement to Figma
Awwww I know the pain of using PC while all your fellow students used Mac, they made fun of me for using a “clunker.” It’s one of those things that teaches you how to work within your means.
Thank you, I agree, XD could probably die on the long run. But I'm still surprised that Adobe bought Figma for so much money when it has such a similar product in XD. Why wasn't it simply improved further, it already had a good user base? I don't think there will be a free version for Figma on the long run, Adobe has to recoup those huge expenses after all.
I started to learn web design in Adobe XD from your course. A few months ago during course about digital design I started to use Figma. And that was mind-blowing! This tool is a loooooot better than XD! You can think like a developer and a designer when building websites or apps in Figma. Figma has so many little things that XD is lacking. Great decision! 😁
Honestly I was skeptical when I watched this video. Then I launched Figma for the first time ever, drew a box at the top of the screen, and noticed that there was NO BORDER BY DEFAULT. That's all it took. Bye bye XD.

I'm coming from years of using XD and I'm trying to adopt to Figma cause it's the chosen tool in another project. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I sure miss the speed of XD and the actual prototyping features that I think exceeds what's possible in Figma. I'm talking about imitating UI functionality and interaction patterns etc. Figma is lacking behind in that department. I'm used to prototyping animations, UI components etc to demo functionality. With Figma I observe that the team designers don't actually choose to prototype, they make static UI "stills" so to speak and I think that they do that cause the options for anything else is sparse at best. That's a petty cause I enjoy Figma's collaboration features, that's the main strength of this application. To become something more Figma needs to better their prototyping tools. It's crucial to be able to demo stuff in an authentic manner for user tests and more. In Figma it's alot of linking static frames together. In XD it's a matter of prototyping on a more dynamic level. I also enjoy the Adobe echo system, seamlessly joining industry leading applications like PS, Illu, XD etc together. It's powerful.
I'm currently still using PS for web design (primarily because that's how I learned it back in media school), knowing that there is a much much better way with XD. I was about to switch to XD, but the news of the Figma takeover made me unsure. Thank you for this informative video. I better start then directly with Figma :P Greetings from Hamburg

Watching this today I have noticed Xd is only available to download via the CC app. It has been unshelved. Certain things like repeater grids and auto populate images is something I've yet to see in figma. As well as the after effects workflow with Xd
I love XD but the writing is o n the wall. It's just a matter time before Adobe kills XD. I'm learning Figma as well. And yes, Figma is better then XD.
Funny how these guys never mention the Lunacy editor from icons8 .... it is more powerful than xd or figma with ai powered tools .... format compatible and built-in graphics .... plus it works offline and is totally free ....
Adobe is a corporate monster... surely this is anti-competitive ? Why aren't they challenged on this. Every alternative is bought out and put in a draw. Get ready to pay what ever fee they wish to charge us!
I hate designers who thing you should be on Mac... My time in Uni was actually funny, I had one professor who liked Windows, and another who liked Mac, and they used to bicker almost every class xD My PC costs less, and has more performance than any Mac :P Sure, Microsoft can be a pain sometimes, but Apple is also bad.
Adobe XD isn't bad or limited, it's just Figma is so versatile. Take the browser based interface, for example. And it's free! Will we get a free Figma with an Adobe badge on it?
I just discovered that Adobe XD is now in "maintenance mode" and is no longer available to purchase as a stand-alone app... so looks like Adobe is officially sunsetting XD. Time to learn Figma! Hey Rino do you have and Figma courses?
@LivingWithPixel Someone is pretending of giveaways on every comment of this video.... using your name and dp, he is asking to pay 155$ for the custom cost to ship iPhone 14 pro max.
I am a strictly adobe xd user and didnt want to do any switch to figma despite ALLLL things people were saying, for me there were just some small differences that dont really require the switch. But until this video, my consideration can change, cause why do i invest in something that will soon die or not be developed much! But before making any move i will ask you (You this channel) this question. We are in 2023 mid, why we still not see figma among adobe software, is the purchase happened?
I might be in the minority but I think that web based pro apps should be considered as a crime! Native apps are much more powerful and stable with more access to system resources. Considering Figma as one of the best web based pro apps, I still am much more confident and comfortable working with the dying Xd. I just hope that Adobe makes a true native Figma based application before pulling the plug on Xd entirely since the community forum is now read only and the support literally hangs up on you when asking about the future of Xd!
We have made the decision to make the switch after losing a big client over them wanting to only use Figma for designs. I have gone through a lot of research but this video is great because it comes from the perspective of someone that is an expert in XD. A lot of other videos are from only Figma people that don't actually know the good things about XD, I have started doing sites in Figma and I'm not sure if its something I have'nt got the hang of yet but XD seems to be much quicker. Prototyping seems harder in Figma, my designs are very static so far compared to XD designs. I hope that is my lack of knowledge at this stage.
I've been thinking of switching to Figma too for a while, since I always heard people talking so positively about it. However, I was also hesitant like you since I was so used to XD and the other Adobe apps 😩But I think it's time to switch indeed... I'm curious for your new videos to learn more about Figma.
I don't know... this only makes me dislike Adobe even more. Lately I've been using alternatives to Adobe software, using Resolve instead of Premiere for example. Anyway, hopefully they won't destroy Figma.
Yeah i too try and avoid adobe as much as possible. That is one of the reasons why i went with figma even when figma was new in the market and now they'll probably ruin it
im joining you on this journey. Adobe xd has taken my artworks and I'm stacked I saved them on creative cloud and they are now asking me to pay...I'm in Ghana and I cant pay for that.i hope FIGMA wont kill me too. I'm so messed
I began using XD a year and a half ago. I used Adobe software for years so I had a comfort level using an Adobe product for website layout. But, I switched to Figma about 6 months ago. It is a better program compared to XD. I believe Adobe came to that conclusion also.
Switched from Xd to Figma 1,5 years ago. Now when I have to work/edit in Xd (my boss works in Xd) I always ask myself why it took me so long to switch :D Xd is terrible.
Thaht si not good, we need diferent companys not a high centralisation. Because if there is no competition you can become tiranical and do whatever you want.
You should have switched over a year ago when XD team started lagging on their promise of monthly feature drop. As for sketch, it died for neglecting windows. Now Microsoft has built so many plugins for Figma and has one of the most used and most popular "Content Reel". As for Apple, they have never contributed to the design community at large; Don't mention UIKit because it is required of every OS manufacturer (Google and Microsoft have theirs). They (Apple) also refused to release official UIKit for Figma because they wouldn't embrace the app which is FING ridiculous. I don't know why people rate that stupid company. You've made a good choice by switching.
Even if you have no internet connection you can continue working. The changes are saved in your browser and then when you have a internet connection again its automatically synchronizes/saves the changes you’ve made.
I'm just discovering your channel and I love the way you explain very useful, clearly and concisely. Any advice about how to make a good brief and interview with the client I would love to know your process from the moment they start asking a question, especially how you manage the pricing if they want extra changes and tips about charging them in advance or at the end of the project??? would be very useful for starters. Please keep doing your videos, they're awesome. I just got subscribed :D
I was literally thinking about this yesterday, but I am assuming that Adobe will continue with Xd and become a competitor. I think this because Adobe loves market domination.
Thank you for this!! Going through the same emotions as someone being around computers since the age of 5, learning Photoshop 7 to getting excited at PS getting artboards which helped a lot in web designing to completely shifting my design workflow to XD for years - this feels painful.
Interested to know your thoughts on Adobe Express too. I'm wondering it we can use it as many companies use Canva to design templates for client use without a subscription for the client.
Haha yea! Team Figma 💪🏼. Please explain why. I have seen that frames are better for many things, but is there no use at all for using groups in your perspective? And what about that rectangle comment? Do you also use frames to create rectangles?
@LivingWithPixels Frames in Figma were made specifically for UI design, and so they behave much like how you want the real web or app elements to behave in real life. They have scalable and responsive capabilities. Groups, on the other hand, were made for art, simply. They're not made for UI design and are neither scalable nor responsive. Plus when you use groups, there's no option to put a background colour or stoke or anything like that; you'd have to add a shape to the group to do that. For rectangles, I said you shouldn't use them because new Figma users tend to use them to create UI elements like buttons, cards, headers, etc. But this is wrong and won't work well for a real design. And yes, I use frames to create rectangles too. Even when I create art, I use frames. When I need a UI element to be a circle, I also use a frame, but I max out the border radius so it's a perfect circle. Finally, with frames, you unlock a world of possibilities in Figma. You can use auto layout (can't use with groups), which you'll love for the most part, but perhaps hate when you're just learning. 😂 When in doubt, use frames! 😂
I'm officially switching to Figma from Xd with pain in my heart. Adobe Xd has served me well since it came out, but I think that Adobe will continue with Figma and kill Xd eventually. Lot's of videos about Figma from now on! I will start with the basics of Figma, so don't worry. I will help everyone who also want to make this transition.

I want continue learning. I will waiting your new videos. 👍
I love to watch your video. Now, that you already switch to figma, i wi watch your video more 😁😁
I look forward to your Figma tutorials 😊. I am also thinking of switching to Figma.

Thanks for your video. I'm in the process of choosing between this two tools... and this came in the best time! I'll definitly check your channel :)
Made the switch about a month or 2 ago. Best decision I made in some time. Works a lot smoother than XD imo
Yay! I'm learning how to use Figma so I will be checking out what you have to share about it!
In other words, you're moving from Adobe to Adobe
I noticed that Adobe has released a plug in for WordPress to import XD designs. Seems like development for XD is not dead yet.
Not great news but equates to designers having to switch from QuarkXpress to InDesign. Equates to the demise of Adobe Muse too! Arghh!!! Well time to learn Figma...thanks Rino!

Is it accessible in adobe cloud subscription yet? Or will it always be seperate
Very interesting and informative video
please create a course for xd users switching cuz its hard for us
and now adobe buying figma 😂
Nice
DIDNT ADOBE BOUGHT FIGMA?
lol been thinking about that transition for a while now ... at least I know am not making it alone
Sold - switching to Figma!

Steve Jobs died of figma

Thaht si not good, we need diferent companys not a high centralisation. Because if there is no competition you can become tiranical and do whatever you want.
I really wished Figma had an offline version. Not we all have access to regular internet. So having the offline version like will be massive. 🤝🤝
AH yes, much to my and many others' dismay, "Change is the only constant" :)
Uncle Rino, its hurts to adapt to figma.. but I have no choice.. and thanks for being my mentor..
Love from Africa
Thank you, Sir.
I can't thank you enough..
You should have switched over a year ago when XD team started lagging on their promise of monthly feature drop.
As for sketch, it died for neglecting windows. Now Microsoft has built so many plugins for Figma and has one of the most used and most popular "Content Reel".
As for Apple, they have never contributed to the design community at large; Don't mention UIKit because it is required of every OS manufacturer (Google and Microsoft have theirs). They (Apple) also refused to release official UIKit for Figma because they wouldn't embrace the app which is FING ridiculous. I don't know why people rate that stupid company.

Figma should have save file on computer option for offline
Even if you have no internet connection you can continue working. The changes are saved in your browser and then when you have a internet connection again its automatically synchronizes/saves the changes you’ve made.
man I missed this kind of tutorials lol. Great work here, thanks!!!
Here for it!
Rino, anywhere you go, we follow😅 So when are you bringing us the Figma Tutorial?
I'm just discovering your channel and I love the way you explain very useful, clearly and concisely.

I would love to know your process from the moment they start asking a question, especially how you manage the pricing if they want extra changes and tips about charging them in advance or at the end of the project??? would be very useful for starters.
Please keep doing your videos, they're awesome. I just got subscribed :D
only the cool kids used macbook😅😅😅
In my case, I'm educating myself to use Penpot, just in case Adobe ends up messing things up with Figma.
great point of view.
can't wait the new videos :) so cute was the story for your childhood :))
Figma is good but I still enjoy XD
The drag to change font size, repeat grid and working with components is much better to me.
Turns out you are right. haha
What do you think they are going to do now that the deal fell through?
I was literally thinking about this yesterday, but I am assuming that Adobe will continue with Xd and become a competitor. I think this because Adobe loves market domination.

Yea! Especially. Because Adobe will probably move on with Figma, not Xd

For rectangles, I said you shouldn't use them because new Figma users tend to use them to create UI elements like buttons, cards, headers, etc. But this is wrong and won't work well for a real design.
And yes, I use frames to create rectangles too. Even when I create art, I use frames. When I need a UI element to be a circle, I also use a frame, but I max out the border radius so it's a perfect circle.
Finally, with frames, you unlock a world of possibilities in Figma. You can use auto layout (can't use with groups), which you'll love for the most part, but perhaps hate when you're just learning. 😂
When in doubt, use frames! 😂
Thank you very much, this definitely seems the way to go! I will test it.
This is a great decision. I've been thinking of switching to Figma too for a while, since I always heard people talking so positively about it.
