Zeplin Reviews

My favorite feature of zeplin is that I can see CSS, it's color and every property by just clicking on the particular element. I am QA, For me it is so much easy to find bugs if I have Zeplin design.

Sometimes, It is hard to view last changes as a QA I need to check again which is changes but history of changes is somewhat hard for people like non-designer. But overall, I like the product.

Our design team makes design in the zeplin and I test the software considering zeplin design as expected design. It is so much easy and useful to me check every CSS property of the each element which allows me to keep high standard of software quality.

Zeplin allows you to easily share and order projects with other team members. In this way, it allows for smoother communication. Very necessary for working with sketch app.

Zeplin is very tight and makes its use mandatory if you want to work with sketch. It would be better if they were merged and you could work with both applications simultaneously.

this tool allows us to share projects with other people who do not have the same design tools as us and with the devOPs.

Makes it really easy to translate design colors, assets and constraints to code in seconds. Reduces a lot of effort.

Wish there was a better way to get alignment instead of constraints.

Easy to share design assts, colors, gradients and constraints with the entire development team. Increases efficiency and reduces effort.

I really enjoyed when I hand off my designs to engineers and other stakeholders, I really love how Zeplin translate my designs into amazing codes based on my choices

some delays when I export my designs, I think this depends on my internet speed

design hand-off, Desing Presentation, collaboration

I came into know about zeplin during a prototype development in figma. Zeplin helps us to give life to our prototypes by easy collaboration with our team members.

It helped me in a way that cannot be explainable in single words and for that reason I do not able find a single mistake in this tool. But I think there might be some bugs in the mobile version.

Our developers loves zeplin as it makes collaboration easily through it's interface. It helps our team to save time and work effectively than before. The flowchart creation feature is awesome.

Easy to use, interactive interface with support of shortcuts. Amazing features like exporting the UI to the respective codebase for mobile and web

Sometimes UI takes too much to load despite having good internet connection but that can be fixed iteratively

Zeplin solved the problem for quick prototyping of screen and reduced efforts by reusing the same screen for different Operating systems

I like the fact we have sections inside of the project and it's very easy to collapse sections.

It would be nice if we have a menu on my left or right with all the sections inside of the project. (this inside of the project so it will be easier to navigate between sections)

One of the best features is the CSS that zeplin gives for a certain design, which is really a time saver.

Because it provides great benefits for software developers to easily convert designs into products. In addition, with the new update, you can now create flowcharts between the screens yourself.

Some of the similar tools also have animating, I think Zeplin should too. It would also be great if the images had a directly exportable structure.

We solve the problem of transferring the details on the screen designed by the designer to the software developer one by one. It also serves to speed up our software process by giving rough draft codes of the designs before they are put into code.

One of my favorite features for Zeplin is the "Onion Paper" feature. It's a feature where you can overlay at variating opacities what was handed off to Zeplin (aka the design) and overlay it on a dev environment to ensure that you have design to dev parity. It's really easy for our front-end team to see layout discrepancies using these features, and honestly is one of the only tools that I think has this feature.

One of the drawbacks I find is it's really easy to create a messy sandbox of screens you've handed off for dev. I know there have been features to help mitigate this, like section parsing, and grouping into variations — I haven't done a deep dive into these, but I'm hoping these can solve our organization's problems.

If fidelity of handoff is really important to you and your FE dev team takes a few cycles to get it right, Zeplin can help you with that.

We use Zeplin primarily as a hand-off tool. It's important that our front-end team gets the layout implemented accurately, and sometimes stakeholders will say something like "It's only 11 pixels, what's the big deal" but there have been times where those 11 pixels have made all the difference in the discoverability of a feature. Zeplin helps mitigate these risks.

Easy to use and upload daily designs on zeplin from figma, sketch etc. With just a click we can easily publish all designs files to zeplin and give permissions to the people to view it as well.

Plugin is not available for all tools and we cannot upload styleguides from figma yet. I would really want to see this feature to exist in near future. It would be very helpful.

Yes definitely we would recommend it for designers.

Interaction between developers and designers is easy. Styleguide is not required to be separately made and Icons are also easy exportable in zeplin and developers can simply download it from zeplin.
