At Uizard, our mission is to democratize UI design to empower product teams to build the best software products.

To make Uizard's wireframing, prototyping, and UI design experience even faster and easier, we launched Autodesigner last year in June 2023 and Autodesigner 1.5 in October 2023.

Today, almost a year later, more than 3.2 million users and teams are now trusting Uizard to accelerate their product workflow with AI, and over 80% of all new UIs created in Uizard are now generated with AI! 🤯

Today, we are absolutely thrilled to announce that we are launching Autodesigner 2.0 — our most advanced design AI engine yet! 🚀

GenAI is about to change design forever.

What can Autodesigner 2.0 do?

With the brand new release of Autodesigner 2.0, we take the intuitive conversational flow of ChatGPT and merge it with Uizard generative UI capabilities and drag-and-drop editor, to provide you with an intuitive UI design generator. You can turn a couple of ideas into a digital product design concept in a flash! ⚡

Watch the Launch Keynote and Demo:

1. Modify selection with AI

We're constantly looking for ways to put the "rapid" back in rapid prototyping. With Autodesigner 2.0, we're unveiling a totally new approach to modifying UI components.

Need a button in your header or a couple more items on your list? Simply select a group of components and enter your command, your AI design assistant will do the rest!

Example prompts:

• Add a CTA in the header that says “order now” and a back button.
• Add 3 more sections to the list and change the font to “Roboto”
• Create SSO buttons for signing-up with Facebook, Apple, and Google.
• Translate all the text to french and change the image for a picture of a “cat cycling in the streets of Paris”

2. Generate individual screens and UIs

Whether you're piecing together a digital banking fintech SaaS or the latest mobile dating app, Autodesigner 2.0 can help compose each screen of your project.

Now, with this new release, the AI listens closer to your instructions, and can deliver on prompts precisely and accurately.

Through the chat flow, you can even specify to Autodesigner 2.0 if you want the AI to follow your prompt precisely or if you prefer to do creative exploration and focus on the big picture.

Example prompts:

• A login screen for a mobile app with all the typical options for logging with a custom account, social media SSO logins, and a link to reset password, or to sign-up if the user doesn't have an account yet.
• A screen in banking app where the user can see their bank account balance. There's one button to "send money" to peers and one button to "request money" from peers. There's also a button in the footer to show history of past transactions.

3. Generate multi-screen interactive prototypes

Imagine the power to breathe interactivity into your ideas instantly. Autodesigner 2.0 is not just about creating static UI screens; you can also generate multi-screen, interactive prototypes from simple text prompts.

With Autodesigner 2.0, the AI will also generate alternative design proposals for screens within the interactive prototype so you pick and chose, drag and drop, and customize everything.

Example prompts:

• A SaaS web app to manage a fleet of self-driving cars
• A mobile app to order food in rural America targeting farmers

4. Generate styles and themes

You still get all the innovative power of theme generation from Autodesigner 1.5, but with even more finesse and speed. Want your app to exude the techyness of dark themed aesthetics? Just ask. It’s like having a stylist for your UI, ready to switch up the vibe with just a line of text, in sync with your project's persona.

Example prompts:

• Make it look like Airbnb with a polished light theme
• A modern style with shades of blue with a startup vibe

5. Import screenshots and hand-drawn sketches

With Autodesigner 2.0, both screenshot scanner and wireframe scanner get a massive update!

Converting static screenshot images and raw sketches into high-fidelity, editable design assets has never been this smooth. Our AI engine now provides a clearer translation of your ideas from paper to prototype, bridging the gap between concept and creation with stellar efficiency.

6. Design review

Because Uizard is used by designers and non-designers alike, we are refining what a design review process could look like in the age of AI.

Now you can pick any screen in your project and ask AI to provide feedback about what works well and what needs improvements. Coupled with the Focus Predictor's heatmap to gauge user attention, this new feature delivers insights for improvement, applauds your successes, and ensures that each element of your design is as good as it can. It's like having an expert collaborator by your side, every step of the way.

Autodesigner 2.0 is here! By bridging the gap between human creativity and AI efficiency, we hope that Uizard can offer an unparalleled platform for product teams to bring their visions to life with speed, precision, and creativity.

Whether you're doing nuanced modifications, visualizing end-to-end user journeys, or seeking design assistance, Autodesigner 2.0 is here to help you go from 0 to 1 and accelerate your workflow!

Keep on creating, keep on innovating, and keep on disrupting! 💫

Anyone can have a great idea but how many ideas actually see the light of day? How many ideas become a prototype that can be tested? Sadly, way too few of them.

We started Uizard in 2018 with one goal: to make product design accessible to everyone. We want to empower innovators, disruptors, and creators and enable them to turn their wildest ideas into beautiful UIs, wireframes, and prototypes as quickly as possible.

From our very first hacking session in a Mountain View garage, to formally building our MVP in Copenhagen, delivering on that mission has been our #1 priority.

From the beginning we strongly believed that the only way we could democratize the design experience was to build new modalities and technologies that could level the playing field — namely AI and machine learning.

Needless to say, having a strong conviction to build a machine learning and AI-powered design tool in 2018 was misunderstood and confusing to a lot of people — we were utterly (and stubbornly 😅) convinced.

With feedback and guidance from our amazing early adopters, we’ve been able to build a market-leading, collaborative, AI-powered UI design tool that’s used today by more than 3M professionals worldwide, including teams at Fortune 500 companies.

We truly believe that we have made meaningful progress towards democratizing the design process so that everyone, everywhere can build amazing products. But there’s still a ton more we need to do to fully realize our mission!

That’s why, today, we are absolutely thrilled to announce that we are joining the Miro family! 🎉

We are extremely excited to be joining the Miro team to help cross-functional teams do their best work together, and to continue delivering incredible value to our customers, while also reaching millions more.

Why Miro? 

We have long admired Miro and their mission to empower teams to create the next big thing. In fact, many of us here at Uizard use Miro alongside Uizard to accelerate ideation, design, and prototyping. We share the same vision and passion for making it easier and faster for teams to innovate and to accelerate their product lifecycle. Not only did Miro pioneer the idea of visual collaboration technology, they continue to push themselves to exceed expectations for what an innovation workspace can and should do. 

What Comes Next?

For now, Uizard will continue to be available and nothing related to your day to day product experience will change. We are excited about the possibilities that deeper integrations with Miro’s platform open, and will be working tirelessly over the next few months to explore how to bring our two products and technologies together.

But wait, there's more! 🤩

We're on the brink of launching a major product update that we believe will elevate your experience to new heights and accelerate ideation, design, and prototyping. Without giving away too much, let's just say it's something we've been working tirelessly on, and we can't wait for you to see it in action.

Spoiler alert: it might have something to do with Autodesigner 2.0… 🤐

Thank you!

Massive thanks to everyone who’s been instrumental in enabling us to make Uizard what it is today: our enthusiastic community of early adopters, all the customers that trust us, our amazing team, and all our investors who believed in our AI-driven vision before AI was cool. 

Thank you all! 🙌💛

We very much look forward to building the future of innovation with the great folks at Miro!

Product teams will often use wireframes as a way to provide an overview of a product design, or a proposed product solution, and they can be extremely useful in ideating a new layout or presenting a change to a stakeholder. But after the initial sketch, how can you and your team utilize wireframes further?

With an AI wireframing tool such as Uizard, wireframes can be used in both the ideation and iteration stages to help move a product solution from idea, to a fully-fledged visual. AI wireframing not only speeds up the wireframe creation process, but allows teams to use low-fidelity visuals at every stage of their design journey. In this article we will run through how you can use Uizard’s AI wireframing features to progress your project through the use of wireframes.

What are wireframes?

Is there an AI tool that creates wireframes?

How to create wireframes with AI in Uizard

• Autodesigner
• Wireframe Scanner
• Wireframe Mode
• Screen Generator

What are wireframes?

So, what is a wireframe? A wireframe is a bare-boned, or low-fidelity, representation of a product design. Whether that is an app or web design, a wireframe gives a black and white overview of the finished product design’s layout — including desired components or elements. Wireframes are usually used to ideate a new product design, a layout, or feature improvements. And they offer a great starting point for product teams, without taking up the time of a professional designer.

Is there an AI tool that creates wireframes?

Yes. With Uizard you have access to several AI features that can generate single and multi-screen wireframes, or turn high-fidelity prototypes into low-fidelity wireframes at the flick of a switch. From Wireframe Scanner to generating wireframes from prompts with Autodesigner, Uizard maximizes your ability to use wireframes throughout a project, and not just in the early stages.

Why are digital wireframes useful?

When product teams generate low-fidelity versions of their product solutions in Uizard, not only is it beneficial for them from a layout analysis perspective, but it also helps when sharing with stakeholders to get that rapid sign-off or much-needed feedback. Low-fidelity product solutions allow the layout to be analyzed, without the aesthetics getting in the way. And this is great when it comes to feedback from internal team members or stakeholders. With Uizard, digital wireframes can help product teams go from a simple idea to a concrete visual that can be used to express their desired product solution to developers.

How to create wireframes with AI in Uizard

There are several AI wireframing features in Uizard that product teams can use. From multi-screen wireframe generation to switching between high and low-fidelity on an existing product solution, there are endless possibilities of wireframing with Uizard. Let us run you through our features.

Autodesigner

How can you use AI to generate a multi-screen wireframe project? With Autodesigner you can use a simple prompt to create a set of low-fidelity product visuals. All you have to do to get started with AI wireframing is open up the Uizard app, and at the top of your dashboard select ‘Generate with Autodesigner’. From here, enter a prompt describing your desired project, and then instead of specifying a design style, simply select the ‘Hand-drawn’ keyword. This will ensure that once you click ‘Generate’, the output will be in entirely low-fidelity as a multi-screen wireframe project. For a detailed look at this process, take a look at our article ‘Text to wireframe with Autodesigner’.

Wireframe Scanner

Often, wireframes will be sketched to kick-off product solution ideations, or to brainstorm possible product design ideas, but how can they be utilized after the initial sketch stage? With Wireframe Scanner, you can upload your hand-drawn sketches and watch as Uizard’s AI-powered feature transforms them into a fully-editable, high-fidelity product visual.

To use Wireframe Scanner to start from scratch, select ‘New blank project’ on your Uizard dashboard, and then head to the magic tab on the left hand panel. Here you will find the Wireframe Scanner feature, and you can then upload an image of your sketch either from your files, or by using the QR functionality. If you want to add a new screen at any point in your design process by using this feature, you can do so using the same steps. Once that your wireframes have been converted into high-fidelity you can then edit them to your liking. Go from wireframe sketch to editable mockup in no-time.

Wireframe Mode

If you’ve started a high-fidelity project in Uizard, but are looking for a way to effectively analyze your layout, you can do so with Wireframe Mode. Switch to low-fidelity quickly and easily using the toggle at the top of the editor, or locate Wireframe Mode in the magic tab on the left panel. You can also export your low-fidelity visuals via Handoff Mode on the right hand panel — you can even pick from a range of formats such as PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF when exporting too. This is perfect for signing off layouts or brief overviews of product changes with stakeholders.

Check out our in-depth article ‘The benefits of Wireframe Mode for product teams’ for more information on how you and your team can benefit.

Iterating on product visuals in Wireframe Mode

Once Wireframe Mode is turned on, the UI components library will look a little bit different. The premade components and addable elements will automatically be in low-fidelity. And this means that you can iterate on your wireframe by adding, or swapping out components and elements by dragging and dropping them into place on your design screen.

Screen Generator

In Uizard, whenever you use the Screen Generator with Wireframe Mode switched on, any screen that you generate and apply to your project will automatically convert into low-fidelity. All you have to do is make sure Wireframe Mode is on, and then use the Screen Generator as usual. So this means you can enter a prompt, or upload a design screenshot and your screen generation will transform into low-fidelity once the screen has been added to the canvas.

Struggling to iterate on product designs or produce visuals for stakeholders due to design bottlenecks? Don’t worry — you’re not the only one. Designers are often tasked with an array of design briefs, requiring them to prioritize those that have the highest urgency, and often product teams may find that their product visuals are pushed to the bottom of the pile.

So, how can you avoid back and forth with designers, whilst streamlining your iteration process when you need design support? With Uizard you can speed up and streamline your workflow in no-time by creating your very own product visuals without the need for a designer. In this article we will walk you through how to quickly iterate in the editor when experiencing design bottlenecks.

Skip to section:

What is a design bottleneck?

Iterate without the need to brief designers using Uizard

Will AI replace designers?

What is a design bottleneck?

So, what is a design bottleneck? A design bottleneck is when designers are inundated with tasks and have to prioritize to a point where a lot of tasks that would be deemed smaller cannot be completed. When a workflow becomes delayed, or breaks entirely, a bottleneck occurs. This can often happen with teams that rely on designers for an array of tasks, and some of those tasks get pushed back, or out of the picture completely. And design bottlenecks can impact product teams and their ability to produce and deliver a product solution.

Iterate without the need to brief designers using Uizard

It’s easy to avoid unnecessary back and forth and a potential design bottleneck by simply using Uizard. Your whole product team can collaborate and iterate together in the editor, and handover directly to developers without needing to involve a designer. It’s quick and easy, and there are several ways that product teams can use Uizard to complete their tasks.

Showcase bug fixes or solutions

Iterating on bug fixes in the Uizard editor allows product teams to showcase possible solutions without needing to use design resources. Using Uizard bypasses the time it would take a designer to produce a visual, and to go back and forth with iterations before finally handing it over to a developer. And instead, a product team can quickly convey the bug fix to a developer, using visuals made in Uizard, and push it live.

Present visuals to stakeholders in low-fidelity

Whether it’s a small feature improvement, or a big platform change, presenting visuals to stakeholders can prove to be tricky. Luckily, with Uizard’s Wireframe Mode you can quickly draft up a low-fidelity visual to share with stakeholders for a quick layout sign-off, and then iterate based on feedback — all from the comfort of the editor.

Turn wireframes into high-fidelity mockups

Perhaps you have finished your first ideation session and, usually, you would ask a designer to turn these wireframes into high-fidelity mockups to showcase the next phase to stakeholders, or to handover to developers. Using Uizard, you don’t need a designer to switch from wireframe to mockup. Instead, you can use Wireframe Scanner to upload hand-drawn wireframe sketches and transform them into high-fidelity.

Iterate on your actual product design

What if you could iterate directly on your product design in order to present your desired solution? With Screenshot Scanner you can do exactly that. Instead of trying to navigate Figma, or another design tool to edit and make suggestions, you can upload a screenshot of your product design and our AI-powered feature will convert it into a fully-editable mockup. You can then iterate on your product visual, without the need for a designer.

Will AI replace designers?

The question on everyone’s minds — will AI replace designers? The answer is no. But does AI help designers and product teams? The answer is yes. AI features and tools allow designers to focus on tasks that showcase their ability and skill, whilst allowing others, such as product teams, to take charge on smaller product design amendments and bug fixes. Everyone wins when AI is incorporated into a workflow.

Mockups are useful in presenting the aesthetics of a product design as well as showcasing a potential bug fix, proposed feature improvement, or any minor change that needs to be pushed live. And usually they will be created by designers using tools such as Figma.

Now, not only can designers take part in mockup creation, but thanks to Uizard’s easy-to-use AI-powered platform, product teams can too. Thanks to AI mockup generation, product teams can create single or multi-screen mockups that they can then share with stakeholders and developers.

But how can product teams use AI to create mockups? In this article we run through everything you need to know to get started on your AI mockup creation journey with Uizard.

What is a mockup?

A mockup is a visualization of a product design, such as an app or web design. They display the aesthetic characteristics as well as demonstrating the intent and purpose of a product design. Usually mockups are static, but using tools such as Uizard or Figma you can add dynamic elements too. For a more detailed look at mockups, check out ‘The Uizard guide to mockups’ for everything you need to know.

How can AI be used to create mockups?

There are a series of ways that AI can be used to create mockups. If you are wanting to simply put together a static mockup, using Midjourney or DALL-E 3 can generate outputs that you can work with. However, if you want to take your mockup generations to the next level AI UI design tools such as Uizard are quick and easy to use and provide completely editable outputs.

Is there an AI tool to create editable mockups?

Yes! With Uizard you have access to a free AI tool that offers mockup generation to start or expand your product design project. With several AI-powered features, you can take your pick. From generating a multi-screen mockup with Autodesigner, to single screen generation options using Wireframe Scanner, Screenshot Scanner and Screen Generator, product teams have multiple options when it comes to AI mockup generation. Opt for Uizard as your AI mockup creator and produce product visuals that can be shared with stakeholders, developers and even tested with users.

Can Midjourney create mockups?

Midjourney does allow users to generate mockups by using prompts to describe the desired output, for instance something simple like ‘[/imagine] a stocks and shares web app landing page in dark blue theme’ can be used. However, these can not be edited manually in Midjourney, only by iteration via prompt.

So, after Midjourney has generated your static image, where can you go from there? Well, you can actually use Midjourney with Uizard and upload a single screen from your generation via our Screenshot Scanner. Uizard’s helpful AI feature will then transform your Midjourney creation into a fully-editable single screen mockup. Now you have a mockup that you can iterate on as much, or as little, as you’d like.

How to generate a multi-screen mockup with AI

In Uizard, you have the ability to generate a multi-screen mockup from a simple text prompt using Autodesigner. All you have to do is head over to your Uizard project dashboard and select the ‘Generate with Autodesigner’ option from the top section. From here you can select your desired device, and use prompts to describe both your project and the design style. By clicking the generate button, Uizard’s magic AI feature will create a multi-screen mockup for you. Using the other AI features, as well as the drag-and-drop tool, you can easily iterate on your mockup screens in the editor.

How to generate a mockup screen with AI

There are three ways to generate a single mockup screen using AI in the Uizard platform. From uploading a wireframe sketch or a screenshot of a product design, to generating from a text prompt, let’s run through our amazing AI mockup screen creating features.

Wireframe scanner

Do you have a hand-drawn wireframe sketch? Well thanks to Uizard’s Wireframe Scanner you can snap a picture of it and upload it directly into the Uizard editor. It will then automatically convert into a high-fidelity mockup screen that you can then edit. To generate a screen from your wireframe sketch, head over to the magic tab in the editor and select ‘Wireframe Scanner’. Utilize your wireframe sketches and generate a mockup in Uizard.

Screenshot scanner

Looking to improve a feature or tackle a bug fix and need a mockup to present the proposed change? With Screenshot Scanner you can upload a screengrab of your product design and watch as Uizard’s AI feature transforms it into an editable mockup screen. There are two options when it comes to using this feature, and you can either start a project from a screenshot, by clicking the ‘Start from screenshot’ button on your Uizard dashboard, or add an additional screen by heading to the magic tab and selecting the ‘Screenshot Scanner’ feature. It’s never been easier to create a mockup thanks to this AI feature.

Screen Generator

Whether you are expanding your Uizard project or are looking for some mockup screen inspiration, the Screen Generator is ideal. Located in the widget at the bottom of the editor, you can either upload a screenshot to add a new screen, or generate from a simple text prompt. A prompt such as ‘A product category page’ can be used to generate five screen options that can then be picked from to add or expand your product design. Generating a mockup from a prompt is undoubtedly the simplest way to produce a great mockup design screen.

How to edit a mockup with AI

Once you have generated your single or multi-screen mockup using one of Uizard’s AI mockup creating features, you can then iterate on and edit your product visuals further using AI. Whether you want to switch up the color scheme, add new text or images, you can do it all with Uizard’s AI features.

Theme Generator

Once you have your mockup generated, you may be looking for a rapid way to update the color scheme. And the Theme Generator can help with that. Located in the widget at the bottom of the editor, you can select one of four options in order to create a new design theme for your mockup. Choose from generating via prompt, screenshot, URL, or from scratch, and apply your new theme to every mockup screen in your project.

Image Generator

In the same widget at the bottom of the editor, you will also find the Image Generator. And using this allows you to generate completely unique images to add to your mockup. You can even select from one of six design styles to personalize the image further. There’s no easier way to customize your mockup.

Text and image assistants

For a quick and easy method of updating any lackluster text snippets or images on your mockup, simply use Uizard’s helpful AI assistants. To access them both, all you need to do is click on an image or section of text and use the ‘Suggest’ button to generate alternative options for your mockup. And voila! You have image and text generations to update your mockup to your liking.

How to test the layout of a mockup with AI

How can you use AI to test and analyze the layout of your mockup? With two great AI features you can delve deeper into what makes a great mockup design, and iterate further in the Uizard editor.

Focus Predictor

For an analysis of the layout of your mockup, you can use Focus Predictor to generate a heatmap of a screen. To do so, simply select the top bar of the desired screen, and click the ‘Focus Predictor’ button. This will then create a heatmap that presents the attention hotspots on your mockup screen. Areas of potential improvement, or the ‘colder’ areas, will be highlighted in green and blue whilst the red, or ‘hot’ zones, showcase where your users will be drawn to the most. Now you can iterate on the usability of your mockup before sending over to stakeholders, or sharing with developers.

Wireframe Mode

Switch your mockup between low and high-fidelity using Wireframe Mode and analyze the layout of your product design. Found in the magic tab, all you have to do is use the toggle to go from one fidelity to another. To do this even quicker, simply use the extra toggle at the top of the Uizard editor. The bonus of viewing your mockup in low-fidelity is that you can view your layout without any aesthetic disruptions, and these can then be shared as assets using Handoff Mode on the right design panel.

From mockup to prototype….

Take your mockup to the next level and add interactions between screens to turn it into an interactive prototype that can be shared with stakeholders, users and developers.

Wireframes are used for many reasons. From ideating layouts to testing usability, the likes of designers and product teams will often start their projects with wireframes to assess the bare-bones of a product design solution. But what are the next steps after a wireframe has been sketched?

Usually, a wireframe sketch would be non-transferable to a digital tool and product teams would have to start from scratch, or employ the help of a designer. However, with Uizard’s Wireframe Scanner, this is no longer the case. Product teams can upload their sketches and go from wireframe to high-fidelity product design in no-time.

So, how can product teams use our Wireframe Scanner successfully to speed up their workflow? In this article we will run through everything you need to know to get started.

What is Wireframe Scanner?

Uizard’s Wireframe Scanner uses AI to transform an image of a hand-drawn wireframe into a fully editable, high-fidelity design screen. Located in the magic tab on the left panel, along with our other AI-powered features, the Wireframe Scanner is perfect for ideating new product layouts or rough feature usability improvements. Product teams can also choose to keep the low-fidelity aspect by simply switching on Wireframe Mode and iterating on their wireframe upload in a bare-boned format.

How to use Wireframe Scanner

If you’re looking to start a project directly from a wireframe sketch, simply head over to the Uizard app and start a new project from scratch. Once you’re in the editor, head to the magic tab and select ‘Wireframe Scanner’. From here you can upload an image of a wireframe sketch from your files, or use the QR code to upload directly from your phone. Watch as this feature converts your wireframe sketch into a high-fidelity visual that can be edited rapidly in Uizard. At any point in your design journey, you can add a new screen from a wireframe sketch by heading back to the magic tab and repeating the process.

What can product teams use Wireframe Scanner for?

From ideating new ideas, to getting the ball rolling with iterations, there are many ways that product teams can benefit from using Wireframe Scanner. So, let’s run through them now.

For ideating new product solutions

There’s no better way to ideate a possible feature improvement, or a simple bug fix than sketching a quick wireframe. But how can your product team take this to the next level? With Wireframe Scanner you can ideate further in the editor by simply uploading a picture of your hand-drawn wireframe.

For iterating on product visuals

Whether you are starting a project in Uizard, or are wanting to expand an existing one, you can use Wireframe Scanner to help you iterate regardless of your current progress. Once your wireframe sketch is in the editor, you can iterate on the high-fidelity visual created by our AI-powered feature, or use Wireframe Mode to iterate in low-fidelity. It’s easy to move around components and elements, or to add new ones from the UI components library.

For sharing low and high-fidelity visuals

Once your wireframe sketch has been uploaded, Uizard’s Wireframe Scanner will transform it into high-fidelity. But, using Wireframe Mode you can keep your wireframe generation in low-fidelity. This offers a perfect way for product teams to share visuals in a variety of fidelities with stakeholders. Sign-offs have never been so easy.

For solution testing

In order to test your product solution in Uizard, you can use Wireframe Scanner to upload several hand-drawn sketches and create interactions between each design screen. This can help product teams to visualize their solution as an interactive prototype that they can test using the preview functionality in Uizard. These prototypes can also be shared in high and low-fidelity with stakeholders, developers and users.

Why should product teams use Wireframe Scanner?

Uizard has many benefits for product teams, and Wireframe Scanner is just one of them. Go from hand-drawn wireframe to product solution in no-time using Uizard’s Wireframe Scanner. Not only can you quickly and easily use a wireframe sketch to start or expand a Uizard project, you can upload as many as you’d like to get your solution up and running. And with Wireframe Mode, you can switch between fidelities as often as you would like.

If you decide to switch on Wireframe Mode, you can drag-and-drop premade low-fidelity components and elements from the options on the left design panel to complete your wireframe solution. Prototype in low or high-fidelity and share your interactive product solution for testing with users, a final sign-off with stakeholders or feasibility checks with developers. Everything’s possible when your product team utilizes the Wireframe Scanner in Uizard.

Product teams usually rely on designers to put together product visuals, but this can take some time, and there is often quite a bit of back and forth to get something spot on. Not only does this take away resources from designers, but it lengthens a process that could quite easily be shortened.

Speeding up a workflow is quite naturally at the top of a product team’s priority list. Because who wouldn’t want to save themselves time when it comes to creating and delivering product visuals? So, how can product teams successfully speed up their workflow, and create visuals without the help of a skilled designer?

With Uizard’s Screenshot Scanner, product teams can do just that. From easily uploading a product image, to iterating on it with the drag-and-drop editor, product teams can formulate their own solutions in Uizard in no-time at all.

What is Screenshot Scanner?

Screenshot Scanner is one of Uizard’s AI-powered features, and it can transform a product design screenshot into a fully-editable design screen. Every aspect of the product design is then customizable in the Uizard editor. Using the drag-and-drop functionality you can quickly move around elements and components, or even add in some new ones using the library on the left hand panel. Do it yourself and use Screenshot Scanner to showcase a bug fix, a feature improvement or minor product changes without wasting resources elsewhere — which is perfect for product teams.

How to start a project with Screenshot Scanner

Head to the Uizard app and open up the project page. On your dashboard you will see four options to start creating your new project, and you are going to want to select ‘Start from screenshot’. From here you will have the option to upload a screenshot of your product design from your files, or by scanning a QR code with your phone. You can then quickly edit the design screen to showcase a bug fix, feature improvement or simply ideate in the editor to get the ball rolling.

How to add a new screen with Screenshot Scanner

If you are already working on a project in the Uizard editor, you might want to add a new screen from a screenshot to create a user journey, or iterate on another product solution within the same project. To do so, you can either select the ‘Screenshot Scanner’ option from the magic tab, or use the ‘Generate Screens’ dropdown with the ‘Screenshot’ option in the Autodesigner widget at the bottom of the editor. Uploading your desired product design image will then mean you can iterate on a secondary screen in the editor.

What can product teams use Screenshot Scanner for?

Product teams can use Screenshot Scanner to ideate and iterate on product solutions. From bug fixes to feature improvements, all product teams need to do is upload an image of their product and iterate to produce their desired output.

Collaborative ideation sessions

Product ideation sessions are quick and simple when using Screenshot Scanner. Once your product design is in the editor, product teams can ideate collaboratively using a number of functionalities. The comments feature allows product teams, stakeholders and developers to leave comments on the product visuals in Uizard and then resolve them once actioned. This is great for feedback and further iterations on screenshot generations. Sticky note components can also be used to leave insights, or to mindmap new ideas.

Quick and simple iterations

Product teams can use Screenshot Scanner to upload product images that can then be used to iterate on a number of things, such as:

• Bug fixes
• New features or improvements
• Minor aesthetic or usability changes

These iterations can then easily be edited and shared with stakeholders or developers for feedback, and screenshots can even be transformed into interactive prototypes by adding interactions between screens. For more on bug fixes and iterations, check out our article 'How to tackle bug fixes and iterations with Uizard'. Handoff Mode can also be used to provide design assets and code that can be shared internally and externally to complete a product team’s workflow.

Why should product teams use Screenshot Scanner?

How can product teams benefit from using Uizard’s Screenshot Scanner? Not only can it speed up their workflow, it can also aid handover to developers, as well as preserving time and resources.

Saves time creating a visual from scratch

Why create a product visual completely from scratch when you can get an accurate depiction of your product and edit it by using Screenshot Scanner? Gone are the days of attempting to create a mockup of your product solution in Miro or in Powerpoint, now you can easily create a professional visual in the Uizard editor. And you can iterate on it alone, or with your team.

No need for a pixel-perfect design from a designer

There’s no need to waste the time of a designer when product teams can quickly create their own product solutions with Uizard. Save time and resources and use Uizard to showcase your solutions to stakeholders and then developers.

Handover to developers in no-time

Product teams will undoubtedly come across bugs on their product. To ensure that these bugs are addressed, PMs and their teams are required to ideate solutions and showcase how these bug fixes would look in the product. However, juggling efficient product team collaboration whilst tackling and iterating on bug fixes can be difficult to achieve.

By using Uizard, facilitating collaborative working whilst also easily iterating on potential bug fixes is quick and simple. This article outlines how to swiftly showcase bug fixes using Uizard to create visuals that can then be shared with stakeholders and developers to push a bug fix live.

How to tackle bug fixes rapidly in Uizard

Why use Uizard to troubleshoot bug fixes with your product team?

What is a product bug fix?

For product teams, there are a few different ways a bug will be identified, either by a user highlighting it, or via internal testing. Once identified, product teams will start the process of ideating a solution, or a bug fix as it is called in this instance. Product Managers, and their teams, are usually confined to describing the potential fix verbally, in a list format or they might ask a designer to put together some visuals. However, with a tool such as Uizard, PMs and product teams can create their own bug fix visuals without having to go through a designer. This not only saves time, but resources and money too.

How to tackle bug fixes rapidly in Uizard

So, how can your product team tackle and iterate on bug fixes using Uizard? Identifying bugs on your product and implementing the solutions doesn’t have to be a difficult process. With Uizard, you can troubleshoot bug fixes and provide developers with well-thought out solutions in no-time. And there’s no need to waste the time of a designer when product teams can iterate on small fixes themselves directly in the editor. Let’s get into it.

Identify the bug and ideate a solution

First, if you haven’t already, you will need to identify the bug. Whether it’s a small fix to improve performance, or something larger that has been bugging users, both are simple to demonstrate using Uizard.

If necessary, you can also ideate in Uizard. Invite your entire team to work collaboratively in an ideation or brainstorming session and use the sticky note components to document any ideas or user feedback. Once a solution has been decided on, you can now move onto creating product visuals.

Upload a product image with Screenshot Scanner

The quickest, and easiest way to create a visual of your suggested bug fix is to use Uizard’s AI-powered Screenshot Scanner. Using this feature allows product teams to upload a product image of the bug in question, and transform it into a fully-editable design screen. Aspects of the upload can then be edited in the Uizard editor to better present a product to be iterated on.

Iterate on your potential bug fix

Now you can iterate to showcase the solution. From using the drag-and-drop editor to moving elements or buttons around, to adding in new premade components from the UI components library, it’s quick and easy to make changes. You can even use the Screen Generator to offer new screen inspiration for a potential bug fix.

Create an interactive prototype

For many product teams, a still image of a bug fix may be satisfactory, but if you are wanting to take it one step further, you can create a clickable prototype in Uizard. By creating several product design screens, you can demonstrate the new proposed user journey within your bug fix. Select the element or component you want to add an interaction to, and use the lightning bolt icon to draw a line to the next screen in the journey. This can then be tested using the preview functionality in the top right corner. Now you and your team can test to see how your bug fix would actually work.

Gather feedback and iterate further

Now it’s time to gather feedback. It’s easy to share your product visuals or prototypes with stakeholders and developers for insights. They can even leave comments directly on your bug fix visuals to help identify any areas of improvement. This will then most likely require a round of iterations from your product team to ensure that the best possible bug fix is implemented, and these edits can be completed rapidly in the editor.

Sign off from stakeholders before development

Once you’re happy with the product visuals you have iterated on in Uizard, you can share the finished solution with stakeholders for a final sign off. Finally, with Handoff Mode you can take your bug fix to the next level. With both the CSS and React code for components available to product teams and developers, it’s easier than ever for bug fixes to be pushed live by simply copying the code to use elsewhere.

Why use Uizard to troubleshoot bug fixes with your product team?

Uizard expedites the bug fixing process by enabling seamless collaboration, visual iteration, and efficient communication between product team members. Not only that, but it also cuts out the need for pixel-perfect designs from designers, thus speeding up the time it takes to deliver a new bug fix to users. Save time and resources by using Uizard to ideate and iterate on potential solutions for product bugs.

Conserving resources and spending time wisely are all at the forefront of a Product Manager’s mind. And with product teams playing an active role in providing solutions and improvements to product problems, they need a platform that can aid their ability to quickly and cost effectively produce deliverables. And Uizard can help with that.

From ideation sessions, to creating product visuals that can be shared with stakeholders and developers, product teams can save time, money and resources using Uizard. But how? In this article we will run through how PMs and their teams can use Uizard to effectively streamline their workflow and boost collaboration.

How can Uizard cut costs and save you time and resources?

Why should your product team use Uizard?

How can Uizard cut costs and save you time and resources?

It’s easy to get the whole product team involved in a Uizard project, and to collaborate in one platform rather than several different ones. Let us run through how your team can benefit from using Uizard to speed up and streamline your workflow.

Cut down time spent ideating

What if you could save time by ideating in Uizard? Don’t believe us? Ingenico cut their ideation time by two thirds with Uizard’s collaborative features helping them to streamline their processes. Ideate product solutions in the editor using the sticky note components, and use your ideas to create product visuals within the same easy-to-use platform. From brainstorming sessions to shareable product visuals, all you need is Uizard for your ideation sessions.

Avoid taking resources away from designers

Using Uizard, product teams can avoid wasting a designer’s time and resources by creating their own product visuals. And rather than involving a designer in the ideation stages of the solution or product improvement, they can focus their efforts elsewhere and put their skills to best use. Product teams can iterate on solutions in Uizard and gather feedback to cut out the need for back and forth with pixel-perfect designs, to progress into development quicker.

Collaborate with developers in the early stages

Using Uizard allows product teams to invite developers to join their organization; to view and leave comments on their projects. The benefit of involving developers early on in the product solution process is that they can provide insights to help product teams iterate successfully. Iterating on a solution with the advice of developers before development speeds up the process and ensures that there are no issues when it comes to pushing a product live.

Without Uizard, time can be wasted going back and forth between product teams and developers, as well as issues arising in development that require extra resources from product teams that could have been avoided by collaborating in the early stages in Uizard.

Save time and create product visuals quickly

Product teams can quickly draw up their own product solution visuals to share with stakeholders, developers and even users for testing. The Uizard editor is quick and easy to use, and has a whole host of time saving AI features such as Screenshot Scanner to get product solutions up and running in no-time. From simple bug fixes to new features and product improvements, product teams can iterate quickly and easily in the editor.

Share clickable prototypes with stakeholders for quick sign-offs

By using Uizard, product teams can share clickable prototypes with stakeholders for a quick sign off on projects. These can also be shared in low-fidelity by switching on Wireframe mode. Stakeholders can use these prototypes to quickly assess the proposed changes and product teams can get to work to iterate further before passing over to a developer.

No outsourcing needed

Not everyone has an in-house team of designers, and quite often design work is outsourced. So if your product team usually hires freelance designers to create the visual product solutions, and then when it needs revisions and alterations you end up paying out even more — you’re in luck. Save your money and use Uizard to create the visuals yourself, and then you can iterate on them based on feedback and insights any time you like.

Rapidly export and share assets and code

On the right panel in Uizard is Handoff Mode, and here you can export your product visuals to send to stakeholders in a range of formats. This also works when you have Wireframe Mode switched on, so you can share low-fidelity wireframes of your project. If you have invited developers to your Uizard organization, they can also access the CSS and React code for components via Handoff Mode. Which means that they can get started on the development process instantly.

Why should your product team use Uizard?

So, finally, why should your product team use Uizard? Well, if you want to conserve resources, provide deliverables on time, every time, and save money — Uizard is the right platform for you. With a whole host of AI features to speed up your workflow, such as Wireframe Mode and Screenshot Scanner, your team can get projects up and running in no-time.

With Uizard you can save time, money and resources by being as efficient as possible. Want to try it for yourself? Sign up today to get started. Or check out our blog for more great articles.

From ideating a solution to creating product visuals and final testing, product teams go through various stages when pushing a new product solution live. And each stage usually requires different tools, which means product teams jump from one platform to another throughout both the discovery and delivery phase.

But what if there was a tool that you could not only ideate collaboratively in, but also create product visuals and then share them internally and externally too? Uizard makes light work of helping product teams formulate a product solution, and then iterate on a visual that they can use to develop their proposed solution.

Using Uizard eliminates the need for several different tools, and a pixel-perfect visual created by a designer. Instead, it helps product teams to avoid miscommunication by fostering a collaborative environment to ideate and iterate on product solutions. In this article we will run through exactly how Uizard can aid your product team from ideation all the way through to testing.

Product solution ideation and brainstorming

Deciding on a user problem, and then ideating on the best solution is successfully completed via brainstorming and ideation sessions. Product ideation sessions are used to kickoff the discovery phase for most product teams. But how can Uizard speed up your ideation process and help you to complete the discovery phase?

With Uizard: Ideation sessions in the editor

Product teams can collaboratively brainstorm in Uizard using screens and sticky notes to create a mindmap of user problems and solutions. Product teams can easily invite team members to contribute in real-time to ensure a collaborative ideation session. Using the Screen Generator, new ideas for possible visual changes can be generated to speed up the ideation process. This combination of ideation possibilities speeds up solution discovery. Product teams can then iterate on visual representations of these solutions within the same editor.

Without Uizard: Using Miro or Mural

Using ideation tools such as Miro or Mural, product teams can create mind maps, or use templates to brainstorm and ideate on product solutions. However, these tools do not offer the possibility to create and then iterate on product visuals, so another tool would be needed to complete this task.

How does Uizard allow for quick and collaborative ideation?

Finding solutions to bug fixes and feature improvements is faster and more collaborative in Uizard. Ideating in the editor offers product teams AI-generated ideas via the Screen Generator that can be used to create product visuals. By using Uizard you can complete ideation sessions with your team and move onto producing a visual representation of a solution to share with stakeholders and developers.

Creating product visuals

Product teams require visual representations of their product solutions in order to convey to stakeholders, and developers, their proposed changes. So, how can this be done quickly and easily without requiring designers to spend hours producing a pixel-perfect product design? Let us run through how this can easily be avoided simply by using Uizard.

With Uizard: Quickly outline product solutions visually

Using Uizard’s Screenshot Scanner, product teams can upload an image of their current product, and edit it to present how the final solution would look. This can then be iterated collaboratively with team members, and the feasibility can be checked by developers. It can even be shared with stakeholders in a range of fidelities for sign-off prior to development.

Without Uizard: Unnecessary pixel-perfect designs

Creating a product visual without Uizard would often require either a designer to use Figma to create a pixel-perfect design, or a Product Manager to put together a long spec list for the proposed solution. Product Managers will also often draft up a product solution themselves using tools such as Miro, Google Slides or PowerPoint — which can be tricky and often does not provide a professional visual.

Can Uizard speed up the creation of product visuals?

With Uizard, there is no need to distract a designer from other priorities in order to design a pixel-perfect solution in Figma. Product Managers and their teams can hop into Uizard and demonstrate professionally how a final solution should look. This can then be shared with developers, users and stakeholders for feedback so product teams can iterate further.

Communicating and collaborating with developers

In order to go from prototype to live product, quickly defining what needs to be changed and communicating it to developers is vital. And this requires a high level of communication and collaboration — which Uizard can offer. To show just how effective Uizard is at building bridges with developers, let us run through how product teams using Uizard are at a massive advantage compared to those who are not.

With Uizard: Quick and easy collaboration

In Uizard, developers can hop into Uizard alongside a product team and take a look at the product solution. Alternatively, an interactive prototype can be shared with developers to demonstrate how the solution would work in an interactive capacity. Developers can also use Handoff Mode to copy the CSS or React code for components to speed up the delivery phase. They can then offer insights and feedback into the feasibility of a solution and offer a delivery timeframe.

Without Uizard: Lots of back and forth

Product teams may wait to involve developers until the product solution is ready for development, however their assumptions about what is, and isn't, possible may be incorrect. And these feasibility problems could have been avoided and addressed in the initial stages of discovery if they had been using Uizard to collaborate with developers. Finally, if any iterations need to be made, a designer will then be required to make these changes in Figma which increases costs and delays development.

How does Uizard eliminate miscommunication with developers?

Uizard provides product teams with a platform to work collaboratively with developers to ensure that everyone is synchronized on the reasons behind a solution. It also provides team members with the opportunity to bring up potential problems before the solution is implemented, which saves time and money. With Handoff Mode, the process of handing over deliverables, or developers copying the code they need directly from the editor, massively speeds up the delivery process.

Streamlining communication with stakeholders

Sometimes, a stakeholder will approach a product team with an idea to improve a feature, but communication can get messy. But what if a stakeholder could easily put together a visual representation of their idea and share it with a product team? With Uizard, stakeholders can do exactly that. So, how can Uizard improve communication and collaboration between stakeholders and product teams in comparison to non-Uizard methods?

With Uizard: Stakeholders can use Screenshot Scanner

A stakeholder can use Uizard to draft up a product solution by uploading a screenshot via Screenshot Scanner, and editing it to easily communicate an idea. From here, it can be brought to a product team and developers to assess the feasibility. They can then iterate on the stakeholder’s visual, and send back the final solution before making any live changes.

Without Uizard: Lengthy back and forth

There is usually lots of back and forth between stakeholders and Product Managers as they describe the idea that they have in mind. Without Uizard, a designer is then needed to draft up a design in Figma based on these ideas, and after further feedback, the designer will then iterate on the visual. This process repeats until the design matches up with a stakeholder’s vision. This lengthy process can be avoided if a stakeholder simply uses Uizard to demonstrate their proposed product changes or improvements.

How does Uizard boost communication with stakeholders?

Stakeholders can visualize their ideas in Uizard, and then use them to effectively communicate with product teams to speed up the discovery process. Involving stakeholders in the ideation stage can also help product teams to create innovative, relevant, and successful product solutions. Not to mention miscommunication is reduced massively and collaboration is increased.

Testing product solutions internally and externally

Before pushing a product live, it is required to go through the testing stage. Product teams may want to test a solution's usability via user testing, by sharing it with developers to test the feasibility of their proposed changes, or by sending it to stakeholders for a final sign-off. Uizard offers product teams the possibility to do all three. So, let’s get into it.

With Uizard: Testing completed all in one place

In Uizard, you can create clickable, interactive prototypes to share with users, developers and stakeholders to show the user journey of your product solution. Feedback and insights gathered from testing the usability of your solution can then be used to iterate further in Uizard. If all you need is a layout check, by switching on Wireframe Mode, you can also share low-fidelity product visuals with stakeholders for a speedy sign-off.

Without Uizard: A slow testing process

Without using Uizard, product teams would need to explain their idea to a designer, who would then create a pixel-perfect visualization of a product solution, before sharing it with users or internal team members and stakeholders for testing. This is a slow process, and takes up a lot of time that could have been spent elsewhere. With Uizard you can test and iterate rapidly, and avoid wasting precious time.

Can Uizard improve solution testing?

By using Uizard to complete the testing stage, product teams can quickly get their product visuals to the point that they are ready for development. As Uizard is a collaborative platform, developers can be involved throughout not only the testing process but earlier in discovery too. This means that once a solution is briefed into developers, they already have a handle on the changes that need to be implemented — thus speeding up delivery.

Are you looking for a tool that can aid you with both discovery and delivery? Sign up to Uizard today and collaborate with your product team on your next solution. For more articles like this one check out the Uizard Blog.

The testing stage is undoubtedly an important phase in every product team’s workflow. From user testing to gathering internal team feedback, it is all essential when it comes to iterating on product solutions.

With a prototyping tool such as Uizard, it’s not only easy to work together collaboratively with your product team and developers, but you can also quickly put together a clickable prototype solution to share with users or stakeholders for testing too. There are also a whole host of AI-powered features that can help product teams to test solutions before development.

In this article we will run through how Product Managers and product teams can use Uizard to test product iterations before eventually finalizing solutions and handing over to developers and engineers.

Why test product solutions in Uizard?

How do product teams test their solutions?

So, how do product teams ensure that their product solutions are ready to be pushed live? There are a few testing methods that PMs and their teams may go through to reach their finalized solution, and we have outlined these below.

Internal testing: Ideating and iterating on a product solution occurs within a product team, so it’s essential to gather feedback and insights from internal colleagues. These ideas can then be used to iterate further on a product visual.

Testing feasibility with developers: Product visuals can be shared with developers to gather insights in the discovery phase. Involving developers in the early stages ensures that product teams are working on feasible solutions, and that they are not wasting valuable time or resources.

User testing: Sharing interactive prototypes or visuals with users helps to examine a proposed solution and to identify any possible issues. It also provides product teams with feedback relating to the usability of a product solution, and this can be used to iterate and improve a solution.

Finalizing with stakeholders: Finished product solutions are sent to stakeholders for approval, and then final iterations can be made based on stakeholder comments before a change is pushed live by developers.

With Uizard, you can easily share prototypes with users, design assets with stakeholders and code with developers for a smooth product testing experience.

What is the purpose of testing product solutions?

Before a feature improvement or product update is pushed live, a solution is required to go through testing. From internal product team members and stakeholders, to testing with users, it’s important that a product solution is shared with the appropriate personnel. Not only does testing ensure maximum usability of a solution, it also guarantees that the changes suggested will be a correct fit for a product. In particular, insights that come from testing with users are extremely valuable, and product teams can use these to iterate on solutions prior to finalizing. Product Managers and their teams can rest easy knowing that their solution has been rigorously tested and is ready to go live.

How to test product solutions in Uizard

There are several ways that product teams can test their solutions using Uizard. From analyzing usability with Focus Predictor, to putting together a clickable, interactive prototype to share with users, the possibilities are endless. So, let’s run through how you can test product solutions in Uizard.

Focus Predictor

Using Uizard’s Focus Predictor, product teams can iterate on the usability and the layout of a visual solution. With a heatmap generation of a singular screen, teams can locate attention hotspots to test and analyze a product solution. This can then be used to improve and speed up the iteration process.

Share clickable prototypes

Clickable prototypes can be created in Uizard to provide an interactive overview of your product solution. By selecting an element, and using the lightning bolt icon, you can easily connect two screens to create a user journey from one product visual, to another. Using the preview function, product teams can then click through their solution. These prototypes can then be shared with users, developers and stakeholders to gather feedback and to test the solution.

Wireframe Mode

A great way to test and analyze the usability of your product solution is to iterate on it in low-fidelity. By switching on Wireframe Mode, product teams can view their solutions as bare-boned wireframes, and test the feasibility of a layout. Low-fidelity product visuals are also perfect assets to share with stakeholders as they can present an overall layout, without the need for a pixel-perfect design.

Involve developers

Developers can not only provide insight into the ability of a product solution to be developed, but also a timeframe in which they can push it live. Inviting developers to collaborate in Uizard allows product teams to gather feedback on their solutions in a visual format, and they can then iterate based on the recommendations.

Why test product solutions in Uizard?

Testing product solutions can be a long task if you don’t have the necessary tools at your disposal. Luckily, with Uizard you can easily speed up testing, and iterate on your product visuals all in one place.

Other ways to create low-fidelity product solutions in Uizard

What is Wireframe Mode?

Uizard’s Wireframe Mode is a powerful AI feature that allows product teams to switch between high and low-fidelity using a simple toggle. This is great for analyzing the usability of a product solution, and for locating areas that require improvements. These low-fidelity visuals can also be shared with stakeholders as clickable prototypes, or as exported as assets via Handoff Mode. Gather feedback quickly and effectively when using Wireframe Mode to iterate on a product solution.

How to use Wireframe Mode in Uizard

Once you are logged into the Uizard platform, it couldn’t be easier to get started with Wireframe Mode. Simply start a new project from the options at the top of the Uizard dashboard, or open up an existing one. Now, either head to the ‘Magic’ tab on the left design panel and locate ‘Wireframe Mode’, or use the small toggle on the top bar of the editor to flick between fidelities. (Even if you start from scratch with a blank canvas, you can still switch on Wireframe Mode.)

From here, you will be able to view your product solution in both high and low-fidelity, or create a wireframe from scratch by dragging and dropping wireframe components from the UI library onto a blank design screen. To get your entire team involved in your project, simply use the share functionality in the top right corner of the editor. You can then collaborate with your product team members in real-time, in low-fidelity.

What are the benefits of Wireframe Mode for product teams?

So what can you expect from Wireframe Mode? And how can it speed up your workflow and the creation of low-fidelity deliverables in Uizard? Let’s run through a few benefits of Wireframe Mode for product teams.

Send low-fidelity product visuals to stakeholders

Get sign-offs and feedback from stakeholders quicker than ever before by sending them low-fidelity versions of your product solutions. Either share the link to your clickable prototype, or export your low-fidelity product visuals via Handoff Mode in a range of formats. In low-fidelity, stakeholders can focus on whether the idea works for the problem that is being solved, without worrying about a pixel-perfect design.

Analyze usability and iterate on the layout

A digital wireframe provides a great opportunity to strip a product solution back to basics, and to analyze the usability of a layout. You can then iterate on it with your team or gather insight from developers. Our Focus Predictor can also be used alongside Wireframe Mode for an extra usability analysis.

Quick and easy, with no need to involve designers

Product teams can use Wireframe Mode to put together a low-fidelity wireframe without any help from designers. Most of the time, a pixel-perfect design isn’t needed to showcase a potential feature improvement or product update. With Uizard’s Wireframe Mode, product teams can quickly iterate on a low-fidelity product UI to highlight the solution to a user problem — without needing to involve a designer.

Use Wireframe Mode alongside the Screen Generator

Once you have turned Wireframe Mode on, any screen you generate in the Autodesigner widget will automatically transform into low-fidelity once added to your project. This applies to both screen generation via prompt and via screenshot. So you can upload a high-fidelity screenshot and Wireframe Mode will convert it into low-fidelity as soon as the new screen has been generated. This means that product teams can use the Screen Generator to expand a low-fidelity product solution in no-time.

Why should your product team use Wireframe Mode?

Wireframe Mode provides product teams with a way to iterate on product solutions quickly and easily in a low-fidelity environment. And they can still utilize all of Uizard’s AI-powered features to aid their workflow. Low-fidelity product visuals can then be shared with stakeholders and internal team members for constructive feedback, or others can be invited to join a product team’s organization for real-time collaboration in the Uizard editor.

Other ways to create low-fidelity product solutions in Uizard

In Uizard there are several other ways product teams can leverage low-fidelity visuals apart from Wireframe Mode. With Wireframe Scanner, you can upload hand-drawn wireframes and edit them directly in Uizard. So if you and your product team have ideated a layout on paper, you can take that and use it in Uizard.

Another way to start a low-fidelity product visual is using an app wireframe or website wireframe template. Using one of our pre-made templates all you have to do is personalize to fit your desired product solution, and you’re ready to go.

How can Uizard help to boost product team collaboration?

In Uizard, entire product teams can work together collaboratively to brainstorm, ideate and iterate on product solutions. From setting up your team in Uizard, to ideating and iterating together in real-time, let us run through how Uizard can help to boost collaboration.

Set up your entire product team in Uizard

First things first, you will need to set up a Uizard account and invite your product team to your organization. Simply sign up, and then use the ‘Team’ tab on the left-hand side of your dashboard to invite your team members to work collaboratively in Uizard. This way, you can all iterate together on product solutions in Uizard.

Ideate and iterate together

In the Uizard editor, product teams can work together to brainstorm solutions to user problems and then iterate on a product visual collaboratively in real-time. From feature improvements, to minor bug fixes and updates, you and your product team can do it all collaboratively in Uizard. You can even test your product solution as a clickable prototype using preview mode.

Feedback involvement

There are several feedback methods that can be undertaken in the Uizard editor. Using the comments feature, located on the right hand design panel, product team members can drop markers on areas of improvement on product visuals and leave comments. They can even tag other team members in these comments to improve the visibility of the comment and to target the correct team member. Sticky note components can also be used to highlight changes or new ideas, and these can be dragged from the UI components library and placed anywhere on a product visual. Every team member can view both the comments, and the sticky notes, so they can be actioned effectively.

How can Uizard improve communication between product teams and designers?

Co-creation between product teams and designers can be fueled by Uizard. With the potential solutions already discussed, designers can use Uizard to prototype a solution which can then be shared with product teams. Product teams can then use sticky notes and the comments feature to share thoughts and feedback on the visuals created by designers in Uizard. Product teams can even iterate on a new version of the prototype created by the designer to present their ideas visually. Video walkthroughs can also be created using tools such as Loom with which designers can explain their Uizard design decisions, and convey this to product teams.

How can Uizard improve communication between product teams and stakeholders?

Stakeholders are able to visualize the product solution through Uizard as both low-fidelity wireframes, and high-fidelity, clickable prototypes. It saves the usual lengthy back and forth that product teams and stakeholders often face, along with reducing the level of miscommunication and alignment on product solutions. Uizard can also help to make meetings more efficient, with product teams presenting their interactive high or low-fidelity prototypes in preview mode, or demonstrating the user journey from screen to screen. Handoff Mode also offers product teams a way to export their solutions and to share them with stakeholders.

How can Uizard improve communication between product teams and developers?

Inviting developers to view your product solutions in Uizard from the get-go is very beneficial to all parties involved. Developers can offer product teams insights into how well the visuals iterated on would perform when in the development stage, as well as how long something will take to deliver. This valuable information prevents any issues from arising in the delivery phase that would cause back and forth between developers and product teams. It also means that PMs and their teams have an accurate time frame to work with. Developers can leave feedback on Uizard regarding what will work on the live product, and what will not — maximizing team collaboration and ironing out any problems early-on.

Tips for improving product team communication and collaboration

How can product teams improve their communication and collaboration? We have put together a few simple tips that you can follow to ensure that you achieve the highest form of teamwork.

Easy-to-use communication channels

Establish straightforward methods of communication through tools such as Google Meet, ZOOM, Slack and Teams. Set up regular meetings ahead of time to brainstorm, or share your screen to show the rest of your team what you have been working on in Uizard and you could even invite them to collaborate.

Define and establish roles and responsibilities

It’s important that everyone in your product team understands their role in both the problem and solution space. Distributing tasks evenly can help to define each team member’s role, as well as boosting communication and collaboration.

Encourage idea sharing

Create an environment in which team members feel comfortable sharing their ideas, concerns and feedback without feeling like they will receive judgment. This could be done anonymously in a brainstorming session using a tool such as Miro or Mural, and this way everyone in the product team gets a chance to have their say.

Clarity on goals and objectives

Does everyone in your product team understand the end goal? What is the user problem that you are trying to solve? Ensure that there is a level of clarity amongst team members, so that you can work together to iterate on your product solution.

Iterate collaboratively in Uizard

Using tools such as Uizard can help to facilitate practical communication and collaboration. When iterating on a product solution in the Uizard editor, multiple team members can work together in real-time to move around components, create new screens to represent the user journey and use our AI-powered features to speed up the discovery process. And this can be done in both high and low-fidelity thanks to Wireframe Mode.
