Zeplin For Developers
☝️To start using the apps, you will first need a Zeplin account. If you don’t have one already, you can sign up for free here: https://app.zeplin.io/register
Why do I need to download the desktop app?
Zeplin works with a plugin in Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD and Photoshop. When you download the Mac or Windows app, it automatically installs these plugins for you.
- Zeplin provides capabilities much needed by developers including clarity on “finalized” designs, an accessible design workspace friendly to non-designers, added structure to design screens and of course tailored technical specs built by developers for developers.
- Zeplin is a handy dandy tool for better communication between designers and developers. By converting designs made in Sketch or Figma to a code-friendly format, Zeplin can help your project be more.
If you’re a designer, you can export your designs using these plugins through the desktop app. Then Zeplin generates all of the resources that developers need like specs, assets and code snippets, tailored to the platform's needs (iOS, Android, Web and macOS).
The Xamarin.Forms Zeplin extension was created to ease the development for Xamarin developers. It generates elements based on the design in Zeplin, then prints out XAML elements and CSS classes ready to be pasted into XAML pages or CSS file. With Xamarin.Forms 3.0, CSS became another tool in the toolbox for Xamarin developers. Quickly turn your designs into powerful specs and guidelines for developers. Easily document properties of UI elements, tailored to the platform you're working on. Zeplin gives you everything you need, in one place: No more back-and-forths, messy email threads. Invite your teammates and keep all your design resources, needs in one location.
If you’re a developer, you can use Zeplin’s web app to access the projects: https://app.zeplin.io. It's not required for you to download the desktop apps.
