best mac apps for web designers

Begin with powerful tools

Flexible vector editing

With a set of intuitive vector editing tools and editable boolean operations, you can easily iterate on your work — whether it's a new icon or your next breakthrough product — at any stage of the design process.

Design with pixel-level precision

Details matter. That's why we've made it easy to zoom to the pixel level, align things perfectly with Snapping and Smart Guides, and adjust your layers until they're just right.

Pro features. Designed for everyone.

Infinite Canvas. Fine controls.

Keep things organized across your infinite Canvas with flexible Artboards and presets that let you design how you want. Plus, with customizable grids and simple resizing tools, you can scale your work to any screen size.

Save time with math operators

Use shorthand and math operators to design faster. Need to double the width of a layer and have it resize from the center? Simply add *2c to its width attribute, hit enter and watch it happen.

Variable and OpenType fonts

Get infinite control over typography in your designs with Variable fonts support, and unlock alternate characters, ligatures and more with full support for OpenType features.

Scale up your designs

Reusable, smart components

With Symbols, you can create a Component once, reuse it anywhere, and update every instance of it across your design when you need to make a change. And with Smart Layout, your Symbols will automatically resize to fit their content.

Keep things consistent with Styles

Keep things consistent by defining Color Variables, Text and Layer Styles. Then use, reuse and update them across your designs — and even share them with others.

Manage your Design System

As your Symbols, Colors and Styles grow into a Design System, Sketch gives you the tools to manage them. Components View lets you browse, organize and edit everything in one place, while inserting is super-fast thanks to searchable menus and a dedicated Insert Window.

Design beyond the Canvas

Powerful export options

Designing for multiple platforms? Export in all the sizes and formats you need with detailed options — including P3 Color support — or set up custom presets to speed things up for everyone.

Test your designs

Quickly link different parts of your design and create prototypes to test out your ideas. Share them in the browser with a link, try them in the Mac app or test them on your device.

Native to macOS
