I've been using the Zeplin beta with my team for the past couple of months and have to say I love what the team is doing. By using Zeplin:
- No longer need to have all my engineering buddies install Sketch on their computers
- Easily update mocks
- Eliminated the need to produce specs / guidelines (was using sketch-measure previously)
- Can easily create an exportable UI Kit (featuring slices) that engineers can export from Zeplin
Can't wait to see what @pelinkenez and @berkcebi come up with next. Few quick notes after playing around with version 1.0
- Would love to have an activity feed of comments, so I can keep track of them somewhere
- Easier way to link directly to a design, e.g. so I can reference a mock in Trello and have the engineer open it easily
- Kind of like Sketch it'd be cool to have only "slices" selectable so I can easily grab what needs to be exported (currently I place an icon's assets into a folder along with it's slice and it's a little tough to find the slice amongst the other layers).
Between Slack, Invision / Marvel, Zeplin we are really being spoilt by all the great tools out there that help make design collaboration infinitely easier. Loving it.
@rustydingo Hey Adrian, this is just wonderful to hear. Much appreciated! :)
About your notes on 1.0:
- Activity list had to be pushed back yeah, but it's definitely on the list, no worries!
- Sadly, generating web links on the Mac app is broken at the moment, because of a bug, but it should be back in a day or so.
- You can actually see all the assets of a screen on the right pane, maybe we need to make that more clear. :)
Thanks again, have a good one!
@rustydingo Hey Adrian, in addition to Berk's commments, I just wanted to say: THANK YOUUUU!!! <3<3
From my recollection it only supports sketch and PSD files, correct? There's no mention of it on your website. Would love to know.
Love, love, love this app. Beautifully made, and makes the transition from design to dev super easy. Fun, friendly team too.
Completely changed the way we prototype and deliver assets for coding. As our creative director said about life before Sketch+Zeplin - "it was like trying to design with powerpoint..."
I'm a paid user of Zeplin and the 1.0 proved that you guys hear your users :)
Question: what happens if Bohemian Coding decides to implement your assets export feature/collaboration engine?
@johntheoak Thanks Joao, that's wonderful to hear. :) Honestly, it'd be great for the community to have the Bohemian folks focus more on the collaboration process. There's tons of stuff to do in this area, both on the designer and the developer side.
@berkcebi Agreed!
BTW, 2 questions regarding the product (as a user):
1) on the previous Mac app version you guys had a link to Leave Feedback, where is it now?
2) where do I now generate a URL to share a project on a browser?
Hey folks! I'm Berk, one of the co-founders. With Zeplin, we’re scratching our own itch, working for a world where designers and developers can collaborate with maximum efficiency.
We've just released 1.0, with a brand new UI and the asset export feature. We'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions!

This is an absolute game changer and time saver. Thanks for building this solution to an often overlooked, but important problem is the design/ build process! One issue on the new build: is there a mechanism to switch from px to pts? You had this on your first build, but it seems like you've changed this setting, which is a big problem for iOS dev.
We've been using this on our team for the past two months and it has saved us an incredible amount of time on the back and forth. Another essential tool for software teams. Great work!
Nice @berkcebi & team!!
Do you mind if I add this to my site of curated resources & tools? (not going to self promote here so I will follow up on Twitter) :)
Congrats on the launch!!
Congrats! Have been using Zeplin for a few months and it really is a great solution!
@berkcebi, love it. Especially the fact that I can collaborate with other about the dimensions and colours of different items and layers.
