What happened to InVision?

InVision shut down all design collaboration services on December 31, 2024. Prototypes, Freehand, and DSM are no longer accessible. The domain now redirects to Miro.

What is the best InVision alternative for sharing designs with clients?

It depends on what you used InVision for. If you need clickable prototypes with transitions, Figma covers that. If you need the "share a link, client comments without an account" part — that's Drafty.

Does my client need an account to leave feedback?

No. They open the link and comment as a guest — no signup, no login, nothing to download.

Can Drafty handle file types InVision couldn't?

Yes. Drafty works on docs, PDFs, Figma exports, v0 apps, and live sites — not just uploaded screen mockups.

Is there a free InVision alternative?

Yes — you can publish a canvas and collect guest comments for free, no card required.

Does Figma replace InVision for client review?

Figma covers prototyping well, but clients still need a Figma account to leave comments. Drafty doesn't require that — anyone with the link can comment.

InVision is gone. Drafty picks up the client feedback piece.

InVision shut down on December 31, 2024. What most designers miss isn't the prototyping — it's the shareable link a client could open and comment on without creating an account. Drafty does exactly that, on any artifact: a Figma export, a PDF, a written doc, or a live site.

✓ pushed v2 — same link · thread resolved

Your client opens the link and pins a note to the exact spot — no account, no app.

The feedback you're getting today

Scattered across iMessage and Slack — every note a guess at which version, which element.

saw the landing page, looks great 🙌

can you make the logo bigger though

which one — header or footer?

this one

that's the old version 😅 are you on the link I sent, or a screenshot?

…the screenshot

Every message here is a comment that belonged on the artifact. In Drafty they tap the exact spot and the note pins there — threaded, on one link that's always the current version. No “which one,” no screenshots, no “FINAL.html.”

Drafty vs InVision

What each is actually built for — so you pick by the reviewer you're sending it to.

How it works

Share a link to anything

Drop a doc, a PDF, a Figma export, or a live URL into Drafty. It becomes a page anyone can open — on any browser, on any device, with nothing to install.

They pin a note to the exact spot

Your client hovers any element — a paragraph, a section heading, an image — clicks, and leaves a note anchored right to it. No screenshots, no "the bit near the top."

Claude ships the edit

Read the pinned threads in your terminal. Claude makes the change and pushes a new version on the same link — the comment resolves and the client sees the update.

Why people switch

The old way

InVision is shut down — nothing to log into
Client feedback arrives as vague email replies
InVision only worked on prototypes — not docs, PDFs, or live sites

With Drafty

Active platform, same shareable-link workflow — Pick up where InVision left off without retraining your clients
Element-anchored guest comments on a public link — Notes pinned to the exact spot — no back-and-forth about which bit they mean
Cross-artifact review on any file type — One link covers a brief, a proposal, a mockup, or a live URL

Who it's for

Freelance designer

Send the brand guide as a link. The client marks up the exact section — not a confusing email thread about what "the header" means.

Solo consultant

Share the deliverable. The client reacts inline — it looks like your work, not a collaboration tool they have to join.

Indie builder

Drop your v0 screen into a canvas. Testers comment without signing up — every note threads on the artifact.
