What Is InVision?

InVision is a **digital product design platform** in the UX tools category, offered on a freemium pricing model. It serves as a central hub for UX designers to craft interactive prototypes, collaborate on designs, and manage design systems throughout the product development workflow. InVision fits into the design process by enabling teams to transition from static mockups to clickable experiences, facilitating feedback and iteration before development begins.

What InVision Does

• Creates interactive prototypes by linking screens with hotspots, gestures, and transitions to simulate user flows without coding.
• Supports real-time collaboration through co-editing, commenting, and feedback on prototypes and designs.
• Manages design systems via DSM (Design System Manager), storing styles, components, and assets for consistency across projects.
• Provides version history and asset inspection tools to track changes and generate code snippets for developer handoffs.
• Offers canvas-based design tools including vector drawing, layers, infinite zoom, and animation timelines in InVision Studio.
• Integrates with tools like Sketch and Adobe XD for importing designs and syncing updates to cloud prototypes.

How InVision Can Be Used

• Designers upload static mockups from tools like Sketch to build high-fidelity prototypes with interactions, then share for stakeholder reviews in UX design sprints.
• Teams conduct remote brainstorming sessions using digital whiteboards like Freehand to sketch ideas and organize them into visual boards before prototyping.
• During handoffs, developers access Inspect panels in InVision to extract CSS, SVG assets, and measurements directly from prototypes.
• Product teams run user testing by presenting clickable prototypes to gather actionable feedback on navigation and user experience flows.
• Cross-functional groups maintain brand consistency by updating shared design libraries in DSM, which syncs changes across multiple projects and artboards.

Who Is InVision For?

InVision suits UX designers, UI teams, product managers, and developers working on digital products such as apps and websites. It supports roles involved in collaborative workflows, from junior designers creating initial prototypes to senior teams managing enterprise-scale design systems. InVision works well for projects requiring rapid iteration, remote collaboration, and seamless handoffs in agile environments, available on macOS and Windows platforms.
