Adobe XD vs Figma for SVG
How Adobe XD and Figma compare for SVG output and ongoing support.
Vector Export Both Ways
Both Adobe XD and Figma are vector tools that export SVG cleanly. Figma has become the dominant collaborative design tool, while Adobe XD's development has slowed, which affects long-term workflow choices.
- Both export clean SVG from vector shapes
- Figma: active development, strong collaboration
- Adobe XD: slowed development trajectory
Practical Choice
For new projects and teams, Figma is generally the safer pick given its momentum and SVG workflow. Use Adobe XD if you're already invested in it, exporting SVG as needed.
- New teams/projects → Figma
- Existing XD investment → XD still exports SVG
- Both keep paths editable on export
