Zeplin Code Promo

Zeplin is a collaboration tool designed to facilitate the handoff between design and development teams. It allows designers to easily share their mockups and prototypes with developers by providing clear specifications, exportable assets, and design styles. Zeplin automatically generates style guides and code snippets for different platforms, simplifying the developers' work and reducing implementation errors.

With an intuitive interface, users can comment and discuss directly on the mockups, promoting effective communication within teams. By using Zeplin, companies can accelerate the development process and ensure that the design vision is accurately realized in the final product.

Principles of design delivery :

Great products can only emerge when there's harmony across product development lifecycles, functions, and locations.

Aligning design, product management, and dev teams at scale takes time. The process is messy. The pace is relentless. It's difficult to keep your design vision whole with every round of revisions — no matter which design tool you use.

Today's workflows require a new way: design delivery. Zeplin combines not just new technology, but a set of principles to make fluid design delivery possible for even the largest organizations.

These seven principles are at the center of how we work :

• Separate ready-to-build designs from designs in-progress
• Track changes to shared designs deliberately
• Organize designs in a standardized way
• Communicate the complete user journey
• Document behavior and requirements in context
• Display design system elements that are used
• Include technical specs & assets tailored to the development stack

Looking for a Dev Mode alternative?

Zeplin pioneered the separate “ready for dev” space. Millions of devs, designers, and PMs prefer Zeplin as their source of truth for documenting designs, managing workflows, and building beautiful products – faster.

Why should I use Zeplin, when Figma already has Dev Mode?

Zeplin does everything that Dev Mode does and much more – with unique capabilities proven to increase production speed and accuracy. Here’s the difference:

• Separate “ready-to-build” and “in‑progress” clearly : Zeplin is a dedicated space for collaborating on committed designs. “Ready for dev” sections in Figma are just containers on the canvas that can change anytime.
• Manage design versions — just like Git : Versioning in Zeplin is structured like Git, giving you detailed change tracking. Figma’s versions are automatically saved for the entire file, making comparisons tough to spot.
• Standardize design organization : Zeplin’s built-in file structure saves time with consistent organization. Figma’s custom organization is non-standard and can lead to wasted time searching for files.
• Document designs in context : Zeplin documents design behavior, user flows, and product requirements for each screen with clarity — without extra layers cluttering the file.
• Connect the design system to the dev workflow : Zeplin surfaces design system information on every screen and matches design components with the codebase for higher component adoption.
