The Tools

Zeplin
FreemiumDedicated handoff tool that generates specs, assets, and design tokens from Figma, Sketch, or XD files. Clean, developer-friendly output.

Storybook
FreeComponent documentation and testing environment for frontend teams. Designers and engineers share a single source of truth for the component library.

Supernova
PaidDesign system management that syncs tokens from Figma and generates platform-specific code (CSS, Swift, Kotlin). Bridges design systems and codebases.

Lingo
FreemiumDesign asset library and brand management tool. Organize Sketch, Figma, icons, fonts, and brand assets in one searchable, shareable hub.

Figma Dev Mode
PaidBuilt into Figma — turn any design file into annotated specs, CSS/iOS/Android code snippets, and asset exports. No third-party tool required.

Zeroheight
FreemiumDesign system documentation that stays in sync with Figma. Turns component specs into a living style guide developers actually use.

Tokens Studio
FreemiumThe de facto standard for design token management — connects Figma variables to your codebase via GitHub/GitLab sync, enabling a true single source of truth with W3C DTCG-compliant token structures.

Locofy.ai
FreemiumConverts Figma designs to production-ready React, Next.js, Vue, or React Native code with component detection and prop mapping — more code-accurate than generic export tools for teams in a component-driven codebase.

Builder.io
FreemiumConverts Figma designs to production-quality React, Vue, or Angular code by scanning your existing component library and mapping Figma layers to real components — the closest thing to a real design-to-code bridge.
