# Zeplin

> Zeplin is a design delivery platform that bridges the gap between designers and developers by providing structured, finalized design handoff outside the design canvas.

Zeplin is a dedicated design delivery platform built to help product teams transition designs from the creative canvas to structured, developer-ready workspaces. It separates finalized designs from in-progress work, giving developers clarity, structure, and confidence about exactly what to build. Used by over 5 million users across 200,000+ companies including Apple, Amazon, Starbucks, and Audi, Zeplin integrates with the tools teams already use to streamline the entire design-to-development workflow.

- **Design Publishing** — *Publish finalized, locked screens from any design tool so developers always know which version to build, eliminating the "Is this the final design?" question.*
- **Version Control** — *Inspired by Git, Zeplin tracks screen-level version history with commit messages so teams can review and compare changes over time.*
- **User Flow Mapping** — *Build end-to-end user journeys using purpose-built connectors, labels, and shapes directly within the platform.*
- **Annotations & Documentation** — *Pin requirements and notes directly on designs so developers understand behavior and intent, not just visual appearance.*
- **Design Review & Approval** — *Request reviews, track decisions, and keep feedback organized to build alignment without confusing comment threads.*
- **AI Design Review** — *Scan designs with AI to catch off-system colors, spacing inconsistencies, typos, and accessibility issues before sharing with developers.*
- **Design System Management** — *Share and maintain design system components and tokens in Styleguides, linked to day-to-day projects so developers know exactly which components and tokens to use.*
- **Tailored Dev Specs** — *Generate accurate measurements, assets, and code snippets tailored to your team's development stack.*
- **Zeplin MCP Server** — *Generate real, usable code from designs by combining design files and documentation to match how your team actually builds.*
- **Integrations** — *Connect with Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Jira, Azure DevOps, Storybook, VS Code, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and more to keep every tool in sync.*
