So you are looking for the best tools for UI/ UX design and didn’t get the right
one!! Here, we are listing the world’s best tools that will help you in making
beautiful and amazing design:
There weren’t many design tools available a few years ago. Adobe Photoshop was
merely considered as a primary UI/UX tool but now numbers of top design tools
are available in the market. You can pick anyone or two of them and then start
learning them.
World’s top UI/UX design tools are mentioned below:
 Sketch
 Illustrator
 Adobe XD
 Figma
 InVision Studio
 Axure
 Origami Studio
 Framer
Before going into it, we should understand the role of a UI/UX designer.
UX refers to user experience. UX designers built the relation between users and
the product or services. Like you are looking at Adidas shoes in the shopping mall
then you may easily pick your shoe among all the different brand categories. In the
same way, UX designer does. The main role of a UX designer is researching,
competitor analysis, user persona, wireframe design, testing and iteration, and
interacting prototype.
UI refers to the user interface. Its work is close to UX designer. They make the UX’s
vision a reality and design all the interfaces that exist within the software. They
interact with all the elements and then design individual screens that include these
elements on the screen like in form of buttons. Their design should be responsive
and user-friendliness and should have good commands over tools like Photoshop,
illustrator, and Figma, etc.

World’s top UI/UX design tools:
Sketch:
If you have good experience of UI/UX design experience, you’ve heard about
powerful tool-Sketch. It is similar to Photoshop. There are several reasons why it
is one of the best tools design tools. It allows editing and manipulating photos
easily. We experienced that there are repeating elements are in common like
buttons bar or bubbles that can be automatically copied and pasted using the
sketch tool. It also saves time for designers in delivering prototypes consistently.
It runs on OS X.
Prototypes for:
 OS X
 iOS
 Web
InVision Studio:
InVison is one of the most famous prototyping tools in the world. One can
organize design components into a status workflow with the help of its project
management page. Interactions and animation can be added to static images. We
can also upload multiple file types like PNG, JPG, PSD, AI, and GIF. InVision Studio
has pushed and pulls integrations with apps like Slack, Dropbox, and much more.
Also, it helps in building collaboration between design and development.
Prototypes for:
 Android
 iOS
 web
Adobe XD:

XD is available on both Mac OS and windows. With the help of XD, we can draw,
reuse, and remix vector and build artwork for creating wireframes, screen layouts,
and interactive prototypes. If you want to do test the look of your design, you can
easily add interactions and transitions and then share with teammates and
stakeholders. This tool solves in a shorter time but XD is carrying the same
problems that Sketch has (except Sketch is for Mac only) and also there are no
inner shadows.
Prototypes for:
 ALL
Figma:
Figma is a favorite tool to all. It is better than Sketch because it contains
important features that Sketch has missed. It’s a web app that totally browser-
based and doesn’t depend on any platform. Another advantage of Figma is that
there is already CSS present which means we don’t have to use any third tools like
Zeplin or InVision Studio for this. Figma is always a supportive web app; recently
the company has added scrolling animation to its prototypes.
Axure:
Axure provides strong prototypes without the need of coding and keeps the tack
of workflow. Some of the top features are:
 It provides dynamics content for hover functions if present.
 For conditions checking, it provides conditional flow statements.
 It also provides math function like adding or removing from the cart that
reflects amount.
 Provides Data-driven sorting
 Animation can be catered on the prototype
Prototypes for:
 All OS’s

Origami Studio:
It was initially created by Facebook for helping the teams in building and
designing the products. By using origami live, one can preview the mock up live
on mobile. With the help of this prototyping tools, we can show off and present
our design in full screen on different devices. We can also import Photoshop and
sketch design can be imported into origami so that our project layers would be
preserved, ready to being linked, animated and transformed. Apart from this, we
can also export prototype components including animation with just one click.
Prototypes for:
 Android
 iOS
Framer:
A framer is also one of the best prototyping tools in the world. It builds functional
prototypes and testing for usability. Here, you will get a seamless workflow that is
further complemented by device previewing, version control, and easy sharing.
Framer contains outstanding well-structured documentation. We get a first-hand
view of how flexible and powerful code it can be. Apart from this, Framer supports
Sketch and Photoshop projects and helps in preserving your design layers.
Prototype for:
 ALL
From the above discussion, we conclude that how the above tools are useful
makes our work easy. I hope you’ve learned so many things from this blog and
might found it useful.
