Our goal with Flutter is to provide a rich canvas for creative expression. With native performance on iOS and Android, full control over every pixel rendered on the screen, and the ability to iterate rapidly with stateful hot reload, we want to unleash the potential of designers and developers to build beautiful experiences that aren’t limited by artificial technical boundaries.

Last year at our Flutter Interact event, we turned the spotlight on creators who are using Flutter to explore and experiment. We heard from digital artists like Robert Felker, who uses Flutter to build ethereal forms with generative algorithms. We presented the work of creative agencies like gskinner, who created a series of innovative vignettes to demonstrate the potential of Flutter. And we saw a demonstration from Adobe of an early prototype of a plugin for Adobe XD that exports Flutter code directly from their tool.

Today, we’re delighted to join Adobe in announcing that their XD to Flutter plugin is now available as early access for broader public testing. Adobe XD is a UI/UX design and collaboration tool that helps teams create and share designs for websites, apps, voice interfaces, games, and more. Part of Adobe’s class-leading Creative Cloud, XD allows designers to turn vector art, text, images, microinteractions, and animations into interactive prototypes that behave like working software products. The ability to export designs to Flutter further reduces the latency between creative ideas and product development, as an XD prototype can now become working Flutter code within minutes. Adobe XD supports design on Windows or macOS, and includes a free starter plan to get you up and running.
