Adobe XD is one of the most efficient software that web designers use to produce low to high fidelity wireframes. What’s better about Adobe XD, is that it optimises the assets that you use and can be easily handed over to the development team. We get it. Digital designers are like the sandwich between the digital marketing team and the development team. They are constantly on the rush between identifying the functionality of the website or application that they are designing and how viable the platform can organise contents for SEO and marketing purposes.
That is when a software such as Adobe XD comes in handy to produce efficient wireframes within a short period of time. Using Adobe XD, allows easy discussion by exporting the prototype online and sending over to different departments for reviews. To make web or UX designers’ work much easier, here comes the 8 best Adobe XD plugins that you can use in 2020.
Our Chosen 8 Best Plugins To Use
1. UI Faces

Creating a user profile without having a proper visualisation seems a little inappropriate. This is when UI Faces plugin on Adobe XD comes in. With this plugin, you are able to create over 1000 real human faces as your avatar. These avatars come from free-for-commercial stock images such as Pexel and Unsplash.
2. Lorem Ipsum
Designers are not content creators – Needs emphasizing on that. Although, if your client has not provided contents for your design, you are always able to generate Lorem Ipsum dummy content onto your wireframe.

3. Icons 4 Design
Whether you need a hamburger menu, registration icon, setting icon or any icons that fit into your wireframe, Icons 4 Design has it all. This plugin will help to minimise your time to design new icons while focusing on the usability and functionality of your design.

4. Ikono
Similar to Icons 4 Design, Ikono is a plugin that provides thousands of icons just for your wireframing needs. Just in case, you could not find the icon you need from Icons 4 Design, head over to Ikono to look for it – or vice versa. The more plugins the better!
5. Web Export
So you are done with your wireframing, and you need to export into HTML context for your developer? Web Export plugin may be the best one for you. It is an efficient plugin that allows you to export your artboard into a HTML context. Based on our observations, some of the times, the exported HTML was not correctly aligned. Therefore, this plugin is best suited for those who have knowledge of HTML.

6. Zeplin
Another similar plugin to Web Export. Zeplin also allows you to export your artboard into HTML and CSS context and you can even view your style sheet from it – Just in case, Web Export did not work out.

Zeplin, on the other hand, allows you to to view measurements and the assets can be transferred to the development team.
