Powerful set of free design tools to supercharge screen design workflow

This new suite of plugins lets you design & prototype with real data in mind. You can add new Content with just a click & pull in “live” Content from Websites, pull in data from APIs & sync your brand design to the Cloud so your team is always up to speed with the latest stuff.

Craft builds style guides for you with 1 click, giving you full control of fonts, colors & text styles. With Craft there’s no need for copying & pasting or for making up fake user names.

With the Freehand plugin your Photoshop canvas is mirrored in real time to your browser. So all members of your team – designers, product manager & stake holders cat talk over product ideas & get on the same page from any device. It’s a collaborative real time solution that gets everyone on the team involved in the design process.

Sketch, the newest plugin is focused on prototyping & works by visually connecting design elements to screens, so you design, prototype & publish your work all in 1 place. It gives you a graphical “bird’s eye” view of how your screens are connected. With 1 click you sync your screens to InVision so it’s easy to collaborate using real time or deferred comments.

The rest of the plugins that make up Craft are:

  • Sync – Lets you seamlessly connect your design & prototyping workflow in just a click
  • Data – Brings real data into your design from the web, APIs or your own files
  • Library – Allows you to have a single source of design assets on the Cloud for your team
  • Duplicate – Quickly clone any design element with pixel perfect accuracy
  • Craft Manager – Use it to update & manage your plugins from the desktop

InVision is a New York, USA-based company which is led by CEO & co-founder Clark Valberg since its inception in 2011. The InVision platform is Craft’s big brother & an enterprise & pro product which is touted as “the world’s leading prototyping, collaboration & workflow platform.”
