InVision is a software company and cloud-based platform that provides tools for product design teams to create, prototype, review, and ship digital products. The service is used to build interactive prototypes, gather feedback, and collaborate across design, product, and development roles. It emphasizes remote collaboration, centralized design assets, and design workflow, aiming to streamline the end-to-end design process.

Founded in 2011 and based in New York City, InVision was established by Clark Valberg and Ben Nassi as a prototyping tool for designers. Over time it expanded into a broader platform, adding features for collaboration, design handoff, and design system management, and positioning itself as a cloud-based alternative to locally installed design tools.

Core offerings include a cloud-based prototyping environment for interactive screens, comment threads, version history, and sharing controls. The suite has included tools for collaborative whiteboarding, component libraries, and design system management to help teams build consistent interfaces. Integrations with popular project management and collaboration tools extend its workflow.

InVision has been widely adopted by product teams across industries and is recognized as one of the early leaders in online prototyping and collaboration. As design tooling evolved, competition from other platforms increased, notably Figma. InVision has continued to evolve its platform with emphasis on design systems, collaboration, and scalable handoff between design and development.
