Manage your Tokens in one place

Use the Zeplin API and webhooks to fetch updated tokens or download them in a handy ZIP file. When changes are made, Zeplin makes sure you are the first to know.

Integrated with your favorite design tools

Design tools like Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch empower designers to explore and iterate. But they struggle to translate design into developer friendly formats.

That’s our cue. Zeplin integrates with your favorite design tools, making it easy to implement design tokens. If you have colors and text styles defined in your design file, your design tokens will automatically be generated, with no extra effort.
