XD
Adobe XD is a UI and UX design app for creating wireframes, screen designs, interactive prototypes, and shareable design specs.
What is XD?
Adobe XD is a graphics and interface design app for creating user experiences for websites, mobile apps, and other digital products. It helps designers move from wireframes to polished screens, interactive prototypes, and shared review links in one workspace. On Mac, users commonly use it to design layouts, build component-based design systems, preview flows, and hand off assets or specs to teammates and developers. Adobe XD also supports cloud documents, commenting, and collaboration features that fit team-based design workflows. It is aimed at UI and UX designers, product teams, and learners who want a focused tool for screen design and prototyping rather than general photo editing or illustration work.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Adobe XD is legitimate design software from Adobe. It may store project files locally or in Adobe cloud services and can sync documents for collaboration, sharing, and review, which is normal for its purpose. If you use shared links or cloud documents, review what you publish and who has access before sending designs to others. Removing the app can also remove access to its local settings and any unsynced work stored only on that Mac.
Recommendation: Keep Adobe XD if you still create or review interface designs, prototypes, or shared design documents. If you no longer use it, you can remove it like other Mac apps, but make sure any local projects or unsynced cloud changes are saved first.
