Interface is friendly for beginners and powerful for a pro\`s. The price is mid, you can configure plan for your purposes. Also I want to admit the support team. Always fast and clean. Pros Perfect interface, a lot of features for web/mobile design Cons Zeplin is great. Doesn\`t see anything badly for me Alternatives considered [Figma](https://www.capterra.com/p/175027/Figma/) Reason for choosing Zeplin I use both of them. Figma and Zeplin are great Review Source EK Eshaan K. Product Designer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple Easy Dev Handoff" February 10, 2020 4.0 Pros I've been using Zeplin for nearly 3 years now, and the best thing about Zeplin is that its reliable and easy to setup. It has no fancy gimmiks which other tools in the same category do have but simply because it robust it is my choice. Cons Too many software updates. Each and every time I open Zeplin there is a software update pending. I wish Zeplin could solve the dev handoff problem end to end by use of design tokens and better design system documentation, and become that single source of truth for designers and developers. Alternatives considered [Marvel](https://www.capterra.com/p/171098/Marvel/) Review Source SC Sean C. PM Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good, but better solutions out there" May 20, 2024 3.0 Pros Decent interface for mobile app design - clear and well laid out. I quite like the flows feature. Cons Could definitely be better for collaboration across product/design teams - making it easier to give feedback in the app, offering better prototyping etc. should all be prioritised Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must-have tool for seamless handover between Design team and Development team" October 28, 2022 5.0 Overall, Zeplin is a great tool for collaboration and design handoffs. It's our go-to tool, especially when we are using Sketch or Figma to create the Hi-fi designs. It's feature of automatically creating CSS and HTML codes is extremely useful for Developers. It has helped us in streamlining the overall product development process and reduced the 'to-and-fro' over emails. Pros As a Product Owner, I have used Zeplin as an end user, where I need to do thorough testing of a final developed product feature against its approved design. In a few projects, I have also used Zeplin as a designer, to handover the High Fidelity wireframes, to the development team, in order to make a mockup for Product Demos. As our organization mainly uses Sketch or Figma as a primary design tool, Zeplin has been an extremely useful tool for us to share design assets with the development team. As soon as a design screen is approved by the client, the lead designer exports that design from Sketch or Figma to Zeplin. With a single web link, Front end developers are easily able to get CSS and HTML code information that they need. Additionally, stakeholders and team members can leave comments on any design section, which allows them to collaborate, ask questions or give suggestions.I like that Zeplin integrations with Jira, Trello, Sketch and Figma works quite seamlessly and it streamlines the overall process.I highly recommend using Zeplin. Cons User Interface of this tool could have been better. There is definitely a learning curve with Zeplin as it's not a very intuitive tool to use. Zeplin doesn't show version history of screens, so you can't see what changes have been made in the latest version of the same design as compared to the previous version. This can add some extra workload for the developers. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Technology Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy prototyping and streamlined handoffs" September 9, 2021 5.0 Pros In my opinion, it is primarily a piece of software that helps our design department with the task of sharing and creating designs and style guides with our development team and project managers. As a result, we are able to reduce the communication gap between the design and development teams. Integrating it with Sketch is an excellent feature. Further, Zeplin makes it possible for us to create designs that can be uploaded in one click or more directly from the web browser. Cons When it comes to uploading and syncing assets, Sketch and Photoshop work well, but Illustrator can at times be cumbersome/difficult to use. Also, there is no possibility of navigating within the screen. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer UX Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Zeplin is good to go to set style guides and share within the team" September 21, 2022 3.0 best to share style guide Pros to set styles and share within the team and related developer Cons there should be linkable prototype and variables change screen also needed Alternatives considered [Figma](https://www.capterra.com/p/175027/Figma/) Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) To set style guides and make more usable alignment and sizes in details Review Source Alex L. Product Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " Seamless Design Handoffs with Zeplin" February 25, 2024 3.0 Using Zeplin has been a bit of a mixed bag. It's great for getting my designs across to the developers in a way that makes sense to them, which is incredible. But I sometimes wish it did more than that, especially when we're juggling many tasks and need more from our tools. It's handy for what it does but not the be-all and end-all. And we finally switched to Figma Pros Zeplin made my life easier when showing my designs to the dev team. It's pretty cool how it turns my designs into something devs can use, cutting down on many of the back-and-forths I used to deal with. Cons Zeplin's pretty much just for handing off designs and doesn't help much with the bigger picture stuff, like managing the whole project. And if you're not used to design tools, getting the hang of Zeplin can be a bit of a headache at first. Review Source Brent J. Head Of Product Management Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zeplin is a must for software teams with UX/UI and development. " February 28, 2020 5.0 Looooooove it! Zeplin is great for large or small teams. The designers can focus on design, and the developers can focus on developing without working if something follows the style guide... because it does with Zeplin. Pros Zeplin makes is incredibly easy to hand off design items (mockups, prototypes, completed designs, etc.) to the development team. Cons None. I love Zeplin. I've used it at two companies and it's greatly improved the process between design and development. Review Source Eric R B. Chief Product Officer Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zeplin is a solid tool for building software, but check around" February 8, 2022 3.0 Zeplin is a great design tool we used for designing our SaaS product. It's easy to use and has a solid UI. My only gripe is that it doesn't have asset management features, which are better served by other design apps. Pros Zeplin is relatively easy to use. It was introduced by one of our designers as a means of collaboration and commenting on the app we were designing. Cons While it worked well to view work, the communication tools are just okay and we didn't think it was very good to sort and search for assets. Review Source Aakash P. Member of technical staff Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best tool for seamless integration of Design tools for publishing the design" May 29, 2022 5.0 Pros I like the one-click publish button of Zeplin the most. It reduced the efforts and time drastically. How seamless it integrates with Figma is impeccable. Cons Animations sometimes become laggy and need minor improvements. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer UX lead Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Herramienta básica para hacer handoff a desarrollo" June 5, 2022 3.0 Pros La posibilidad de organizar los flujos por secciones facilita la encontrabilidad de recursos para el equipo. Al seleccionar cada elemento, los desarrolladores pueden visualizar sus propiedades traducidas a css, lo cual agiliza su trabajo. Cons Como diseñadores, necesitamos funcionalidades que nos permitan dejar comentarios para los devs, señalando elementos específicos de la interfaz. Además nos es útil útil poder hacer diagramas de flujos con pantallas. Zeplin no ofrece estas posibilidades, con lo cual nos vemos obligados a usar múltiples herramientas. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zeplin was a great way to organize our apps designs" December 6, 2021 4.0 Pros It's easy to group different sections of the app. The integration with slack s great, you get noticed whenever someting changes in your file. You can see the history of a design an view their changes Cons It' s hard to follow big flows in the application Review Source AD Altaf D. Co-founder, Chief Product Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Developer hand-off made simple" June 25, 2021 5.0 Great experience. Highly recommended if you want to keep everyone on the same page. Pros Product, design and engineering teams can collaborate with ease. It brings structure to our design and development process. Cons None so far. The tool is affordable and easy to use. They constantly add new features to fill any gaps. Review Source LV Leonardo V. CEO | CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zeplin is great for apps design" April 29, 2022 4.0 Pros It is very easy to configure, set up and use. It is great to design apps in a collaborative way. Cons Some features are a little tricky to use and you need to learn very well how to do it. Review Source DM Dhaval M. Senior Graphic Designer Luxury Goods & Jewelry Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bridge between developers and designers. " May 6, 2022 4.0 It is a Great bridge between developers and designers to work seamlessly. Pros Simplified assets export from zeplin, Easy Developer Hands off. Cons it would have been better if there are some basic tools on UI to tweak some smaller changes in the app itself rather than going all the way back into the main design. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Producer Computer Games Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "So far so good" October 16, 2019 5.0 It is great. We will probably use it until something else comes along. Pros We picked up Zeplin recently and it has really increased productivity by more easily translating project specs in nifty ways! Cons On the frontend it is not always perfect. Watch out for the autogenerated CSS as it is not always what you are expecting Review Source AF Adrian F. Digital Designer Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent hand-off from designers to developers" October 15, 2019 5.0 Very nice tool with a great interface. Easy to use and handle saving a lot of time in the development process. Pros I used this software to hand-off design elements to developers from Adobe XD. I liked it was very easy to go from XD to Zeplin. The user could organize the projects very well and the interface was very clear to me. Once the projects were ready inside their folders you could pick up many properties and values straight from the design. Also collaboration was easy using links you could share with stakeholders. Cons The free tear can only store one project at a time. It was sometime cases when the software was not 100% accurate. Review Source NK Nihar K. Product Designer Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Zeplin provides an easy way for handoffs to happen" September 6, 2019 4.0 Pros I love how handoffs are so easy to do, as all the design elements are clearly shown on the screen and all elements have easy CSS references. Cons I don't like how there's no prototyping available in the software. If there was prototype support, this software would be improved a lot. Review Source BD Belinda D. Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I used to rely on it extensively for collaborating with developers. But with the arrival of new programs not anymore." June 11, 2024 4.0 Pros It's a straightforward tool for handing off designs to developers. Cons With the arrival of Figma and other similar programs, I no longer use it. Instead, I share the design files directly with the developers, allowing them to retrieve the necessary code. Additionally, I've started handling more of the development work myself. Review Source ST Sebastian T. Product Designer Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good tool, but missing the polish it a great tool" March 9, 2022 4.0 I find Zeplin a good (but not great) tool for helping to manage your design/developer handover, but you absolutely need to have a strategy for using it. I would never recommend it to be used as a standalone tool, but for. It is positive that the company are working hard to come out with new features, however I think a lot of the existing stuff could be polished to give a better experience. Pros Easy developer handover, a single source of truth for design and frontend development in your projects, the push for new features like flows and the new labelling features (annotations, behaviours, etc) is nice. It seems that there are constant updates to the product, which means that new features and fixes are always on the way. Cons The UX of the application leaves quite a lot to be desired in a lot of places, in particular the navigation system and searching are troublesome. For example there is no global search, you have to search under the correct project to find a screen and you might not always know where you put a certain screen. As a Mac and PC user, the PC application is practically useless in my opinion, there are so many quirky features, which I think take away from the usefulness of the product across different platforms. Components and styleguides don't always work as expected and in some instances some styles are not detected at all. Not a huge range of 3rd party plugins.

Sharing and collaboration was so easy with this tool. you can group variants and even the screens which make it very easy for the whole team on zeplin to publish and view the files as well. Pros Collaboration becomes so much easier with this tool. Developers can pick the styling, colors, icons, CSS everything from zeplin itself. Easily download all the assets in any format. Cons There is nothing to dislike. Just nowadays, every tool is building up its own system with which you can share your work with developers. Review Source RG Ralica G. Lead UI Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect link between designer and developer" February 8, 2022 5.0 Pros Zeplin has a good range of price options and a free version which is great for students. I like the intuitive UI which helps me quickly translate the element designs into code with just a click and a glance. Features like the version control are very useful as well as the comments feature. The dashboard tools and information are easily accessible and allow for a level of customization. Cons It's sometimes difficult to select text in order to see font-size etc. It's an intermittent difficulty I have not managed to consistently reproduce.

No obstante, la haría más dinámica para exprimir todo su potencial. Pros Lo mejor de Zeplin es que es muy intuitiva y la organización de los proyectos es más sencilla que otras aplicaciones similares como Figma. Además, el hecho de poder ver el código que debería ir en el proyecto es un plus para los desarrolladores, pues facilita y agiliza mucho su labor. Cons Lo que menos me gusta de Zeplin es que para ver la pantalla de un proyecto en detalle, tengo que clickar y expandirla, sin darme la opción a hacer zoom desde un flujo de contenido más general.

Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect tool for team with developer and designer" December 20, 2022 5.0 Best app to convert graphical ideas to code by developer. Auto convert for assets save my time. Pros Awesome tool when someone need to convert UI/UX design into code in development process. I use this app every day to read the design layout and convert it into our application using code. You can get every informations needed by developer to develop its app. Auto converting of assets is totally awesome. Cons Sometime I have problems with selecting some elements on UI layout. Auto conversation tool for assets doesn't contain AVIF format, this plugin should be updated. Consume lots of performance on my browser. Review Source Similar Products Featured
