Hey @YousefK!
The folks from Miro have a pretty strong integration with Sketch. They’ve also created a plugin to make the integration even stronger and seamless. Check it out!
Awesome, i appreciate the response!

The plugin doesn’t work really — there’s an error “Some of the images to be synced were too large. Try decreasing the resolution.” The “images” are 1022x872 artboards, and I have no clue what do they mean by “decreasing the resolution”. Like what, make my artboards twice smaller?
I know it’s on Miro side, just wanted to let people know the plugin is not reliable.

I don’t know for sure, but it could be that the actual image you have in the Sketch file is much much larger than 1022x872, but you just used the resize tool to shrink it down. I don’t believe that actually reduces the size of the image. When uploading to Miro it could be uploading the photo at its original size.
Something you could try is selecting the image in the artboard then go to Layer > Flatten Selection to Bitmap, and see if that’ll allow you to upload it.
Absolutely right … unfortunately. I have the same problem here all the time.
Freehand from Invision could still be an alternative. However, we switched to Miro years ago. In the meantime, however, Invision has improved Freehand considerably.

I actually found Apple Freeform to be a strong competitor, but the downside is collaboration limited to iCloud. Still, I am thoroughly enjoying the app!

Freehand by InVision is a great alternative. I’ve been using it for some time now. It’s got a nice set of unique features that designers would appreciate.
@reznikdesign @Xhaust Hey guys!
We just have heard from the folks at Miro, that they’ll be very interested to hear about these issues to potentially fix them with an update to the plugin. They have shared this link so you can get in touch!
You can also include the forum post URL so they can get all the context possible 
Miro plugin for Sketch has been discontinued, and the latest release of the plugin isn’t compatible with Sketch 2025 release.
Any solution that comes into the mind of other folks here ? Thank you
I think an app called Excalidraw could be useful for you. It’s a web app that works locally, allowing you to save the files and also invite more people to collaborate. Honestly, it’s great and free. I’ll leave it for you. link: https://excalidraw.com/
If you need a FigJam alternative that works alongside Sketch, the most common picks are Miro and Whimsical. Miro is closest in terms of collaboration features and handles flows/workshops well, though you’ll usually export assets from Sketch rather than having a live sync. Whimsical is lighter but great for quick diagrams and wireframes. LucidSpark is another option if your focus is more on team workshops. In practice, the workflow is usually Sketch for detailed design + one of these tools for user flows and collaboration, since none integrate as tightly as FigJam does with Figma.
