Design Pages turns Framer into a true design playground. Experiment with multiple layouts, typography, and visuals side by side on a freeform canvas.

Wireframer works seamlessly with Design Pages, so you can generate unique layouts instantly and iterate in real time with your team. When a design clicks, turn it into a live web page with a single click.

Unlimited projects. Unlimited pages. Completely free.

Uizard uses AI to turn text prompts, screenshots, and sketches into editable mockups, wireframes, and prototypes in minutes.

Its Autodesigner 2.0 generates screens, themes, and multi-screen prototypes instantly.

Screenshot Scanner converts app or website screenshots into editable designs, while the Wireframe Scanner digitizes hand-drawn sketches.

The tool includes ready-made templates for apps, websites, and web apps, so you never start from a blank screen.

It also supports real-time collaboration, enabling teams to co-design regardless of location.

Penpot is a free, open-source design tool built for teams that want full control and direct collaboration between designers and developers.

Unlike Figma, it can be self-hosted, ensuring ownership, privacy, and security of all design work.

It expresses designs directly in CSS, HTML, and SVG, making handoff unnecessary. Devs get production-ready code from the Inspect tab, while designers work with flexible tools like CSS Grid, Flex layouts, and design tokens for scalable systems.

With Variants (like Figma’s components), reusable libraries, and real-time collaboration, teams can prototype, share feedback, and ship products faster.

Sketch is a Mac-native design tool focused on speed, precision, and offline workflows.

It offers a vector editor, stackable layouts, and nestable frames for scalable design systems. Designers can start fast with templates, frame presets, and libraries.

Prototyping is built-in, with multi-directional scrolling, overlays, hover/press interactions, and smart animations. Sketch supports real-time collaboration in the Mac app and lets teams share projects via the web for clients or developers, who can inspect files, download assets, and export design tokens for free.

It also supports offline workflows, predictable licensing (one-time or subscription), and an open file format for easy Figma imports.
