design specs

Go from design to code, without the guesswork.

Available on macOS and Windows

Better feedback, better products.

Move in parallel and open up the conversation with developers. Design Specs streamline the handoff process so you can deliver the context they need. Share fully-interactive prototypes, CSS code snippets, downloadable assets, and custom variable names – all in one link.

Handoff the full picture

Give developers a 360 look at user flows and room to interact with your prototype.

Get input early and often 

Make it a two-way conversation and avoid wasted efforts on both sides. Developers can easily provide context or drop in comments.

Everything they need, all in one place

Sizing, character styles, colors, images, sounds, and more — include the CSS snippets and design tokens they need for easy collaboration.
