Zeplin For Developers



Figma designers stay focused on design, collaborating across functions becomes smooth and design systems go to the next level.

Stay in design flow, publish finalized designs for development

Zeplin is an interface that bridges the gap between designers and developers by producing CSS codes for every component used in the design. Working as a UI/UX designer, we work extensively on Zeplin. It comes as a plugin to Sketch where most of th. Zeplin is a collaboration tool, built for UI designers and frontend developers. With Zeplin, collaboration between designers and developers becomes easy, effective and saves time. Designers can turn their designs into specs and guidelines, and developers can generate platform-related code snippets. Working with Zeplin has many advantages, here are some examples: You’ll avoid building a specs document; something which is neither agile nor easy to update. Create instant annotated designs with all the relevant information for developers and other designers. You can create exportable designs, so. Zeplin is a native app for both Mac and PC, that lets you easily check out all the properties as well as export assets from both.sketch and.psd files. If you don't want to use the dedicated app there is also a web link for the browser that can be used by developers.

With Handoff+, go further than specs by publishing finalized designs right from Figma. Developers get locked designs to build from, while you continue designing the next great iteration. Ah, creative freedom.

A limitless canvas designers love, the structured workspace the team needs

Zeplin is a structured workspace that is friendly to developers, QA’s, PM’s and others not experienced with design tools.
With Sections and Tags, the team will easily understand designs, no need for extra documentation or design tool training.

Take your design system further than ever before

Extend your design system into the developer world with Zeplin.
Showcase reusable components with clarity for developers, including Figma Variants. Then, watch them go even further by connecting components to code.

Translating the wall of screens in Figma to an organized hierarchy in Zeplin connects the designers’ creative work to the developers’ production work, it’s a critical step in our workflow.
