Design tools are for designing. Zeplin is for clear, structured delivery.
A letter from
our CEO
Design tools are made for DESIGNING.
Design tools are creative spaces — freeform, fast-moving, always evolving. That’s what makes them great.
But it’s not where devs belong. They don’t want to click around a live file hoping they’re looking at the final version. They don’t want to dig through frames to figure out how the pieces connect, understand what every element is supposed to do.
We’ve seen this mess play out over and over again — at startups, agencies, Fortune 500 teams. Design tools just let it happen.
Devs want clarity.
Devs want structure.
Devs want confidence.
Design tools are not built for delivery.
That’s why we built Zeplin.
Because design delivery is a phase of its own.
And it deserves its own space — outside the canvas.
CEO & Co-founder, Zeplin
Everything your team needs for design delivery
Once designs are ready for dev, select and publish frames from any design tool. Zeplin becomes your stage for presenting final designs—without the distraction of ongoing design changes.
Inspired by Git, Zeplin brings deliberate versioning to design. Each screen has its own version history, capturing changes over time so teams can review and compare when needed.
Standardize how designs are organized across your team. With a consistent structure, everyone can quickly find what they need and collaborate effectively.
Map out end-to-end user flow with purpose-built journey mapping tools: connectors, labels, and shapes designed to build complex flows easily.
Mockups alone don’t tell the full story. Add notes and requirements directly on the designs so devs understand how things should work, not just how they look.
Request reviews when screens are ready, track decisions, and keep discussions organized. Build alignment without confusing comment threads.
Scan designs with AI Design Review, catching off-system colors, spacing inconsistencies, typos, and accessibility issues before sharing with devs.
Share and maintain your design system components and token in Styleguides, linked to day-to-day projects. Devs can see exactly which components and tokens to use, promoting adoption.
Generates accurate measurements, assets, and code snippets tailored to your team’s dev stack. Connect designs to dev tools like Jira and Storybook to keep everyone in sync.
Turn designs into real, usable code. Zeplin MCP server looks at both your designs and documentation to generate code that match how your team actually builds.
Why people love delivering designs with Zeplin
The Versions feature has been helpful to keep developers on the same page and ensure we can iterate fast. Version history is extremely valuable to keep track of the changes we make.
I can now pin product requirements to each screen so our developers will know exactly where to find instructions for build, no more clicking through endless comment threads.
We have a team of about 40-50 developers, and Zeplin eliminates a lot of back-and-forth messages to ask questions or request assets. Zeplin has become an indispensable tool that helps streamline our design process.
If Figma is our “playground” where we can run around and make as much of a mess as we need to, then Zeplin is the “shelf” where we can place finalized designs — it’s a perfect transition from a limitless canvas to an orderly workspace for the rest of the team.
Zeplin comes in between design to development, and even into QA, as a way to clearly and visually tie together those requirements with our archive of designs.
Zeplin brings unity to all the designs that engineering sees. You can generate direct links to every requirement, flow, any detail you can think of – Zeplin keeps the complete version history.
