Zeplin is a design delivery and handoff tool. Designers publish finished screens from Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD, and developers get specs, assets, styleguides and code snippets in a separate, stable space away from work-in-progress files.
Beyond handoff, Zeplin offers Flow Boards for mapping user journeys, styleguides that link components and tokens to product work, annotations, version compare, and integrations with Jira, Azure DevOps, Storybook, Slack, Teams and a VS Code extension. There is also a Zeplin MCP server for code generation.
Newer AI features include AI Design Review, which checks screens against rules for off-system colors, spacing, typos and accessibility, and AI Organize. Desktop apps exist for macOS and Windows.
Best for: Teams that want a controlled handoff space separate from the design file, especially when developers should only see approved screens.
