What is a .PRO file?
A .PRO file is a type of file used to create mockups for websites or mobile applications. It was specifically created by Adobe Proto, an app that is no longer available. Adobe Proto helped designers make preliminary versions of web pages or app interfaces, which are visual plans showing how the final product should look and function. These mockups could include multiple layouts of web pages or app screens, and might feature interactive elements to simulate how the final product would interact with users.
The .PRO file supports various web technologies such as CSS (which styles the layout), WebKit (a layout engine designed for web browsers), and jQuery (a JavaScript library that simplifies HTML manipulation). This makes the .PRO file versatile for designing rich, interactive user interfaces.
To view or edit .PRO files, you can use Adobe Dreamweaver 2021, which is a popular web development tool. Since .PRO files are essentially project files, they can also be opened in any standard web browser for previewing purposes. Additionally, if you have access to the original Adobe Proto app on iOS or Android devices, you can also open .PRO files there.
Before starting the actual coding and development of a website or mobile app, developers and UI designers often create these mockups to visualize and plan the structure and navigation of the application. This helps in refining the user experience before any code is written. Although Adobe Proto is discontinued, its files can still be useful in current web design workflows, particularly if integrated into Adobe Creative Cloud and used with other desktop applications like Adobe Dreamweaver. Adobe Proto has been succeeded by Adobe XD, which is now used for UI and UX design.
