Zeplin is a versatile tool that facilitates collaboration between designers and developers, streamlining the design handoff process and minimizing miscommunication. With Zeplin, designers can import screens from software like Photoshop or SketchUp, attach assets, and create convenient diagrams. This enables them to set a high bar for implementing designs and saves time on back-and-forth communication. For developers, Zeplin offers the ability to better understand layouts and be more assertive by providing ways to export assets and CSS code. It captures CSS styles and optimizes their work, making it practical for prototypes and the layout of web applications. Additionally, Zeplin allows for easy sharing of design specs with clients and provides a succinct set of features for viewing, sharing, downloading, and discussing design assets. It acts as a bridge between design and development teams by reducing the communication gap and enabling feedback from stakeholders through shared boards. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for engineers and designers to share, discuss, and question designs, ultimately saving time, headache, and mistakes due to miscommunication. Overall, Zeplin is widely used by digital product teams, UX designers, and other departments to collaborate effectively on projects.

Reviews
(1-19 of 19)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
- Make design hand off faster
- Cut middle issue during development phase
- Centralize design hand off
- Development time has reduced as the design updates are communicated in real time to developers and they don't have to write the boilerplate code as it's already generated.
- Employee engagement has improved as every stakeholder is aware about the design changes from the beginning and can give their inputs.
- Designers save a lot of time as they don't to explicitly communicate when the update or publish their designs and also it just takes a couple of clicks to publish their designs. Also, lot of rework is saved as every stakeholder is involved right from the beginning.

Beautifully seamless design hand offs
- Much smoother hand offs between UX design / content strategy / product and the devs, putting all necessary design info in the same place as specs and code snippets.
- The Slack integration is really handy and makes it faster and easy to see updates / comments in real time.
- Zeplin improves communication between the design and development teams, allowing them to more easily "speak the same language" when working on a new feature.

Zeplin: The tool of the designer who is a programmer
- It optimizes development times with something that takes a lot of time like the frontend
- Designers can interact with developers in a very light way since the tool allows developers to visualize the end of an interface and to imagine the functional ones of it
- We're using the free plan, so it fits in our needs, although we're limited to create only one project at a time
- Sketch has some plugins that offers exactly what Zeplin does, for free
- The integration with design apps (Sketch, Photoshop, XD) and collaboration (Slack and Trello) helps our team to better communicate and be notified on every update
- Faster processes: In my team, we were using cloud-based storage to share and review design assets. It was easy at first but if we needed changes done to the design assets the process would turn cumbersome.
- Zeplin improved our delivery by removing the unnecessary steps that other tools offered and made us deliver changes faster, easier.

Zeplin Review
- Reduces churn between design and development.
- Increases output because of clear instructions.
- Increases efficiency in communication with things like link sharing and slack integration.
- Zeplin has had a HUGE positive ROI for us! It has literally saved us hundreds of hours of back and forth between developers and designer. And those are two individuals whose time is very expensive. And Zeplin is very affordable so to me they provide incredible value. Probably shouldn't say this but I'd pay more than we pay for it.
- It's saved a lot of frustration on both the developer and designer side of things. Getting designs to look right is one of the most painful parts of building a software product and Zeplin does an amazing job cutting out a lot of that frustration.

Great tool for designers and developers!
- Better communication between design and development teams
- More accurate work from developers, as they now have access to all the necessary info about the design and its elements and they don't have to ask designers about it
December 13, 2018
Great software - Definitely not the Hindenburg!
- Time savings
- Less miscommunications, lowering frequency of mistakes
- Easier handoff from product to dev teams
- Facilitating discussion that improves the product
