InVision alternative
InVision is gone. Figma only replaced half of it.
For most teams, design moved to Figma without much drama. The part that never got a clean replacement was the other half: putting work in front of a client who does not use design tools, and getting back something more useful than “not quite feeling it.”
A short recap, since people still ask
InVision announced its wind-down on January 4, 2024, and the service closed on December 31, 2024. Documents were permanently deleted after that date. Freehand, its whiteboard product, had already been sold to Miro in November 2023.
It was not a small company. It had raised more than $350 million and was once valued near $2 billion. What killed it was not a single mistake, it was that design consolidated into one tool. Figma absorbed prototyping and handoff, and a product built to sit between design steps stopped having a step to sit between.
If you are here because you still have muscle memory for sending an InVision link to a client, that is the specific habit this page is about.
What Figma does not do for the person paying you
Figma is a better design tool than InVision ever was. That part of the migration was straightforward.
Client review was not, and most teams solved it by going backwards. Export to PDF. Screenshot the frames. Drop them in a deck. Send a Loom. Paste into an email thread and hope the reply is specific.
The reasons are not mysterious. A Figma link shows a client a design file, which is a working environment for you and an intimidating one for them. It asks a non-designer to navigate a canvas built for designers. It shows a website as a set of static frames rather than something you scroll. It shows an email as a rectangle rather than an email. And the comments that come back are attached to the file, not to the experience the client actually had.
So the work leaves the studio flattened, and flattened work produces vague feedback, and vague feedback produces a fourth revision that still misses. That is the loop InVision links used to interrupt.
One link, and the work looks like the work
Honter takes what you have already made and shows it the way it is meant to be experienced. Your client opens a single link. No account, no signup, nothing to install. They comment directly on the work, pinned to the exact place they mean.
A website scrolls
One continuous scroll inside real browser chrome, with a desktop and mobile toggle. Not a stack of static frames.
A deck presents
Slide by slide, full size, in order, the way you would show it in a room.
An email renders as an email
In an inbox, at the right width, not exported as a PNG and pasted into a thread.
Social ads sit in a feed
At platform dimensions, so “does this stop a scroll” becomes a question the client can actually answer.
A document reads as a document
Paginated, with comments pinned to the paragraph they belong to.
A shoot presents as a gallery
Full-bleed, with selects and notes on individual frames.
And a client who can say what they mean
Showing the work properly fixes one end of the problem. The other end is that most clients know something is off without having the vocabulary to explain it, so it arrives as a feeling and you spend a round guessing.
Honter offers optional lenses your client can reach for when they are stuck. One pressure-tests claims. One flags jargon and hedging. One reads the work as the end viewer would. One checks a set for contradictions.
The default view is just the work. Nothing appears unless your client asks for it. The AI never critiques your work on its own and never invents a revision. It helps your client say what they already think.
You do not have to leave Figma
Honter is not a design tool and is not trying to be. Keep designing where you design.
The Figma plugin pushes selected frames straight to a client-ready link. Select the frames, choose how they should be shown, push. No exporting, no downloading, no re-uploading. The client sees a finished presentation of the work, not the file it came from.
Select the frames
Choose how it is shown
Push, and send the link
There is nothing to migrate
Unusually, this is the easy part. InVision deleted everything after December 31, 2024, so there is no export sitting somewhere waiting to be imported. Whatever you were holding there is gone.
Which means starting on Honter is just starting. Upload your current work, send the link. Your clients do not need to be onboarded, because they never had an account in the first place.
Worth saying plainly
The lesson most people took from InVision was not about prototyping tools. It was that work you have delivered should not be able to disappear. Our free plan does not expire, there is no credit card to start, and if you stop paying, your projects stay accessible. We do not delete your work to force an upgrade.
Questions
What happened to InVision?
InVision announced its wind-down on January 4, 2024 and shut down on December 31, 2024. All documents were permanently deleted after that date. Its whiteboard product, Freehand, was sold to Miro in November 2023.
Can I still get my files out of InVision?
No. Documents were permanently deleted after December 31, 2024, and there is no recovery path.
Is Honter a replacement for InVision’s prototyping?
No. For design, prototyping, and handoff, use Figma. Honter replaces the client-facing half: presenting finished work and collecting specific feedback on it.
Do my clients need an account?
No. They open one link and comment. No signup, no install.
What can I send through Honter?
Decks, websites, documents, photoshoots, emails, and social ads.
Is it free?
Six projects free, with every format and every feedback lens. No credit card, no expiry. Pro is $19.99 per month for unlimited projects, whitelabeled client views, and a team workspace.
Does Honter do video review?
No. For timecode-accurate video commenting, use a tool built for that.
