Choosing an InVision alternative starts with the work you need to preserve. A brainstorming board, a screen design, and a clickable prototype are different artifacts. Boardmix can support visual planning and design discussion; interactive interface testing requires a tool with the relevant prototyping behavior.
What changed for Freehand users?
Miro’s Freehand migration documentation states that Freehand and its migration tokens were discontinued at the end of December 31, 2024. The earlier token-based transfer is no longer a current migration route. Start with files or exports your team retained, and identify which material is still available before selecting a replacement.
Choose by the type of design work
For workshop notes, research synthesis, user journeys, and wireframe discussion, compare a shared whiteboard such as Boardmix. For interactive screens, review Figma, Sketch, or Penpot. These prototyping tools let you connect screens and demonstrate navigation. A static screen placed on a whiteboard remains an image unless the destination provides a separate interaction model.
Use Boardmix to organize the design context
A Boardmix board can hold sketches, reference images, notes, and a map of the user journey. Place the question being investigated beside the relevant screen and use comments to collect feedback. This gives product managers and designers a common view of the reasoning behind a design.
Use links to connect the board with the project’s design files or task tracker. Keeping a link beside a decision is different from synchronizing tasks or prototype behavior between products. Check the Boardmix plan information for board, storage, and AI limits.
Rebuild one representative project first
Start from an export you already have. Add the retained images or documents to the new workspace, label their original context, and recreate the important relationships. For an interactive prototype, rebuild and test the transitions in the chosen prototyping tool. An image export preserves appearance but does not necessarily preserve editable objects, comments, or interactions.
Invite the people who need to review the work and confirm that they can open it with the intended permissions. Keep the original exports while checking that the replacement contains the information needed for the next design decision.
Match the replacement to the next task
If the next task is discussing a user journey, create a shared Boardmix board and organize the retained design material around that journey. If the task is testing whether users can complete a screen flow, build an interactive prototype in a dedicated tool. The choice should follow the work you need to do, rather than a promise of a complete one-click conversion.
