Figma vs Adobe XD: 2026 Mein Design Ka King Kaun?
Figma vs Adobe XD: 2026 Mein Design Ka King Kaun? Agar aap 2026 mein ek UI/UX designer banne ka soch rahe hain ya apne skills upgrade kar rahe hain, toh aapke dimaag mein ek sawal zaroor hoga: “Figma seekhun ya Adobe XD?”
Ek waqt tha jab in dono ke beech kaada muqabla tha, lekin 2026 ke digital landscape mein halaat puri tarah badal chuke hain. Is blog mein hum bina kisi lapat-chapat ke baat karenge ki industry mein asliyat kya hai aur aapko apna career kis tool par lagana chahiye.
1. The Reality Check: Adobe XD Ka Kya Hua?
2026 mein khadi kadvat yeh hai ki Adobe XD ab race se bahar ho chuka hai.
Adobe ne officially XD ki development ko “Maintenance Mode” mein daal diya hai. Iska matlab hai ki Adobe ab isme naye features nahi la raha, sirf purane bugs fix kar raha hai. Jab Adobe ne Figma ko kharidne ki koshish ki thi (jo fail ho gayi), tabhi se yeh saaf ho gaya tha ki Adobe khud Figma ko behtar maanta hai.
- Market Demand: 2026 mein 95% se zyada job descriptions mein Figma manga jata hai.
- Adobe ka Focus: Adobe ab apna pura dhyan AI (Adobe Firefly) aur Adobe Express par de raha hai, XD par nahi.
2. Figma Kyun Jeet Gaya? (The 2026 Perspective)
Figma ne sirf Adobe XD ko haraya nahi, balki design karne ke tarike ko hi badal diya. 2026 mein Figma ke best hone ke 3 bade karan hain:
A. Browser-Based & Platform Independent
Figma ko install karne ki zaroorat nahi (halanki iska app hai). Aap ise Mac, Windows, ya Linux—kisi bhi browser par chala sakte hain. Adobe XD hamesha windows ya mac ke specific versions par hi chalta tha.
B. Dev Mode: Designers aur Developers ki Dosti
Figma ka Dev Mode 2026 mein itna advance ho chuka hai ki developers ko ab designer se pucha nahi padta ki “In dono buttons ke beech kitna gap hai?” Wo direct Figma se Tailwind CSS, React code, ya Swift ki lines utha sakte hain.
C. AI Integration (Figma AI)
Figma ne AI ko apne tool mein aise integrate kiya hai ki aap sirf bol kar (Voice command) ya prompt likh kar poora sitemap aur wireframe bana sakte hain. Adobe XD mein AI ka itna gehra integration kabhi nahi ho paya.
3. Figma vs Adobe XD: Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | Figma (The Leader) | Adobe XD (The Legacy) | | :— | :— | :— | | Collaboration | Real-time (Google Docs ki tarah) | Limited (Files share karni padti hain) | | Prototyping | Advanced (Complex animations) | Basic | | Community | Hazaaron Free Plugins aur Templates | Bohot kam updates | | Cost | Free version kaafi powerful hai | Adobe Creative Cloud ka part hai | | Industry Standard | 2026 ka default tool | Schools/Purane projects tak limited |
4. Kya Adobe XD Kabhi Wapas Ayega?
2026 mein Adobe XD ka “Comeback” namumkin lag raha hai. Adobe ne apne users ko hint de diya hai ki agar aapko UI/UX karna hai, toh Figma hi rasta hai. Adobe ab design ke bajaye Creative AI Assets (Images, 3D, Video) banane mein zyada invest kar raha hai.
Agar aap kisi purani company mein kaam kar rahe hain jahan 5-10 saal purane projects hain, toh shayad aapko XD ki zaroorat pade. Uske alawa, Figma hi bhavishya (future) hai.
5. 2026 Road-map: Aapko Kya Seekhna Chahiye?
Agar aap confusion mein hain, toh is checklist ko follow karein:
- Figma Master Karein: Iske Auto-layout, Components, aur Variables ko itna seekh lein ki aap design system bana sakein.
- Design Systems: Companies ab sirf screens nahi mangti, wo “Design Systems” mangti hain jo sirf Figma mein ache se bante hain.
- Learn Plugins: Figma ke plugins jaise Aninix, Relume, aur Unsplash ka use karke apni speed 5x badhayein.
- AI Tools ka Saharta Lein: Figma ke saath-saath AI tools (jaise ChatGPT for UX writing) ka use seekhein.
Conclusion: Faisla Saaf Hai
2026 mein Figma vs Adobe XD ki koi jung nahi hai. Figma ek clear winner hai.
Adobe XD ek achha tool tha, lekin design industry ki raftar bohot tez hai aur XD us raftar ko pakad nahi paya. Agar aap apna career UI/UX design mein banana chahte hain, toh bina soche Figma par focus karein.
Pro Tip: Agar aapke paas Adobe XD ki purani files hain, toh Figma mein unhe import karne ka option aata hai. Apne assets ko aaj hi move karein aur future-ready banein!
