What do you like best about Zeplin?

Zeplin impresses me as a web developer with its seamless integration with design software like Photoshop and Adobe XD. It simplifies the process of importing design files and creating interactive handoffs for developers. Zeplin's user-friendly interface presents design specifications, assets, and measurements in a clear and organized manner. The generated code snippets and resources facilitate efficient implementation, ensuring a smooth transition from design to development. Collaboration is made easy through Zeplin's effective communication features, making it an essential tool for streamlined design collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

I'm not a fan of the pricing model. While the free plan allows for unlimited reviewers, the paid plan restricts reviewers to specific seats. This limitation can hinder collaboration in larger teams, making the pricing structure less fair and flexible. A more inclusive pricing approach that accommodates diverse team sizes would enhance the overall value and accessibility of Zeplin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeplin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zeplin effectively addresses the challenges of design collaboration and handoff, benefiting designers and developers. Its seamless integration with design software simplifies the import of design files and enables interactive handoffs. Zeplin provides developers with necessary assets, specifications, and measurements for accurate implementation. Additionally, the organized workspaces offered by Zeplin facilitate project management across different teams or companies. By streamlining the design-to-development workflow, Zeplin enhances efficiency and ensures a cohesive implementation of the design vision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing: Zeplin is a paid software and its pricing plans may not be affordable for some small companies or individual designers.

What do you like best about Zeplin?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

this tool allows us to share projects with other people who do not have the same design tools as us and with the devOPs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeplin?

Zeplin changed the redline game. UX designers went from manually specifying comps and drawing out the pixel parameters between components to uploading a screen with a single click and allowing a software to do it all for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

Don't get me wrong, this is still and was a highly sought out after tool that added so much value in my team's workflow, but the tool has become laggy since we've been adding so many screens and projects to it, and has fallen behind as a solution ever since Figma started ramping up their dev to design handoff features. And there is no lag to Figma, so of course we would rather choose to use their tool from now on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zeplin solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pretty much as stated before, the manual redlining and design spec process is so arduous that Zeplin has helped automate the process so designers can spend more time doing their actual job. Zeplin also helped with cross-project transparency and it served as a source of truth for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
