What it is

Origami Studio is a free design tool from Meta for building and sharing interactive interface prototypes. Its canvas supports drag-and-drop layout plus drawing and editing shapes, text, images, and videos. Designers can import Sketch and Figma layers, and copy editable vector shapes and text layers from Figma. The Patch Editor adds interaction, animation, and behavior by connecting patches to layer properties. Artboards and groups support adaptive layouts. Prototypes can be captured, trimmed, and exported as video directly in the app. Patches can access device features such as the photo library, audio metering, haptics, GPS data, and motion sensors. Origami Live, a companion for iPhone and iPad, connects to Origami Studio for Mac, opens files sent by email or AirDrop, and supports nearby prototype sharing for critiques and reviews. A Viewer is included for viewing, interacting with, and recording prototypes. The listed plan costs nothing.
