Rather than having to jump between Sketch and InVision, now you can preview how InVision prototypes play out right inside Sketch.

Meet the Player

With Craft, Sketch designs transform into clickable prototypes that look and feel like the end product. Those real-life experiences make it much easier for other designers, developers, and stakeholders to give the feedback necessary for building beautiful digital products.

With the addition of Craft Player to our plugin, you can spend less time switching between apps and browsers — and more time focused on your design workflow.

Use the new Craft Player to “play” the full prototype — with screen transitions, overlays, gestures, and across a range of devices — all within your Sketch design environment. You can iterate and test screen designs quickly and easily, alone or in front of an audience. And, for colleagues who prefer the InVision environment, the prototype can sync to InVision Cloud for commenting, inspecting designs for specs, and more.

The design process made easier

With today’s addition of Craft Player, the Craft plug-in makes your design process even easier:

  • Prototype and get feedback: Create — and now preview — interactive prototypes in Sketch that you can test and share with stakeholders in minutes.
  • Sync and stay in your creative flow: Send your Sketch and Photoshop designs into InVision instantly — no saving, exporting, dragging, or dropping.
  • Design with real, actual data: Bring real text, Getty images, JSON, and live web content to your prototype, helping make your prototypes feel real without spending time making mock data within the app.
