The integration with other design tools, the seamless conversions, and the ease of handing over the designs to the dev team makes it an excellent tool to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeplin?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeplin?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zeplin:

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Zeplin?

It's easy to integrate with our design tools and project tracking tools like Jira, so we can use it as a source of truth when looking for final decisions or screens. It's also really easy to pull images or pngs from Zeplin, making it really easy for project leadership to use for presentations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

Grouping or arranging screens within projects still leaves a little to be desired - recent releases like for variants and sections within a project help, but it's still a bit of a struggle every time. Before the ability to have unpaid seats on a team was restored for paid organizations, it was also frustrating that all of our stakeholders would need to be added to every project individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zeplin:

Don't hesitate to reach out and let them know what tools you think are missing. The team has always been very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Zeplin we're able to handoff screens between our internal teams and external stakeholders, keep track of final releases, and provide quick references when people are looking back at a project. It is much easier to use Zeplin this way than to try and have our team look back through old Sketch or Figma files, and it is also a helpful step to release screens with an audience outside of our design/dev team in mind.

What do you like best about Zeplin?

I like the fact we have sections inside of the project and it's very easy to collapse sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

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) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One of the best features is the CSS that zeplin gives for a certain design, which is really a time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeplin?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zeplin:

Yes definitely we would recommend it for designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zeplin?

Auto style guide creation is best on figma! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zeplin?

We can't export all image for our style so we didn't like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are mobile app company and always need fresh UI or fixing some problem on UI. Zeplin helped our developer team for export our UI with easy to code. So if our dev. team needs quick code zeplin doing it for them. Before zeplin we used some other tools for this and it's hard to us. Zeplin is a best bridge between UI Design team and our dev. team.
