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.

(1-4 of 4)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
Zeplin acts as a bridge between the design teams and developer teams to assist in the handoff of the finished design artifacts. Once the design is done, it is exported to Zeplin and Zeplin parses the screens to enable assets and delivers specifications to the developers. This relieves designers to manually deliver the assets in multiple folders or files and explain those to the dev team. Zeplin saves a ton of time in manual work and makes it easy to update the assets when the design changes.
- Code and design specifications help developers to quickly access colors and dimensions and also code snippets like CSS if required.
- Commenting features are great for getting feedback and answering questions.
- User interface design could use some better treatment.
- Better tutorials to teach how to efficiently use the software.
- Better design and product quality due to perfect specifications delivery.
- Immediate feedback or questions on designs using hotspots, questions, and comments.

Zeplin is an awesome tool for handoff focused production
We use Zeplin to help us implement mockups for Users Interfaces in our games and on our websites. It is used mainly for the first prototypes in a simple way, focused on the handoff of the design side that can be picked by programmers after. It helps us iterate quickly on those ideas and design good UI and UX.
- Very nice design and user interface
- Its styles components and color palettes organization is great
- It has nice tools to iterate on web designs quickly
- It would be better if it has a dedicated web application
- It's not the easiest tool to learn and start working with
- It would be awesome if it had more features turning it into an all-around tool for mockups and prototypes
- Positive impact because we use the free version
- Positive impact because it help us organize our stylesheets and components
- Positive impact because it helped us create better user interfaces
Zeplin is more focused on the handoff than in the creation itself. The other alternatives can do both, but Zeplin is an awesome tool for the handoff part. It depends in how big is your team and how the workflow is organized to understand whats the best tool for your team.

Zeplin - collaboration and user management at a glance.
Zeplin is being used between several departments and in collaboration with clients. It's primarily a valuable piece of software for our design department who can share and create designs and style guides with our project managers. It's a great tool to work alongside Adobe and Sketch etc. The collaboration between the apartments is the key to success here. The rest of this review will be written from an IT point of view.
- Collaboration between departments
- Excellent user management
- Better definition of roles within user management.
- Better options for versioning.
- Better collaboration between departments
It was a business need from different departments. From an IT point of view, we have been a part of purchasing and setting up. However, the decision to go with Zeplin was not ours.

As Pretty as it gets!
We use Zeplin between two departments ( content and tech ). For the tech team to show off their best work, we need to know what the desired results are to be displayed. With Zeplin, the tech team can collaborate with the content team via notes directly on the mock-up. This is ideal for questions and answers that will not get lost in the shuffle, but rather are pinned directly where the question stems from ( point on the design ). This allows for very minimal miscommunication.
- Allows note to be dropped and pinned directly on the design where the question stems from
- Removes questions about exact styles with the CSS box
- Loads extremely fast with the Windows App on a PC
- Encourages collaboration between team members and departments
- In the UI, the menu is a bit misleading by not showing all the pages available within a single project
- Offline notifications are missing ( a must when the app is closed )
- Because Time is Money: Zeplin takes the time to 'guess' what the marketing team wants, out of the equation, causing greater efficiency within the Tech Department
Zeplin has and easier on the eyes UI, not a cumbersome constructors of projects and easier collaboration.
