Updated over a week ago. Zeplin automatically fetches text styles (or character styles) of an Adobe XD document when you export any artboard or component in it. ☝️ Make sure your Adobe XD file is saved locally on your device before exporting. Due to a technical limitation, it’s not possible to export text styles from a file saved on Adobe Cloud. These text styles will be suggested under the Text Style Catalog. Zeplin automatically exports assets marked for export in Adobe XD. When a layer is marked for export, you don’t need to worry about setting up export formats or sizes: Zeplin will automatically generate the assets with different scales and formats, tailored to the platform you’re designing for—Web, iOS, Android. No more syncing between apps. Use XD to brainstorm, wireframe, create mockups and high-fidelity user interface (UI) designs, make interactive prototypes, share your work, get feedback, and hand off to developers — all in a single platform that’s part of Adobe Creative Cloud.To do all of this with InVision, you need to use and pay for licenses to multiple UI design and prototyping tools.
We’ve rebuilt the Adobe XD integration from the ground up to fix critical export issues like cloud components exports.
With this brand new integration, Zeplin uses Adobe XD Plugin APIs to export the data and the images out of Adobe XD. This API does have certain known issues and limitations that you should watch out for. 🕵️ We're already in touch with the Adobe team and will keep this list updated as they are changed or fixed!
Make sure to try exporting again if you run into an issue, and if it continues, check if it matches any of the known issues below.
Artboard Size Limits
Zeplin exports artboards and components as 2x by default to support Retina displays. This behavior has an exception for Adobe XD plugin exports.
If you have an artboard/component bigger than 8000x8000 pixels, Zeplin exports it as 1x instead of 2x.
If your artboard/component is bigger than 16000x16000 pixels, due to the technical limitations on Adobe XD Plugin APIs, Zeplin plugin displays an error: “Your selection contains some artboards over the export limitations”. You need to reduce the size of those artboards/components to export them successfully.
Not launching Zeplin app
If you install the Zeplin plugin in Adobe XD but don’t have the Zeplin desktop app installed yet, the plugin won’t be able to launch Zeplin once the export process is done. Please download the Zeplin desktop app here and try exporting again:
Grids
Due to the technical limitations on Adobe XD Plugin APIs, it’s not possible to get grid data for now.
Hope these help, let us know at support@zeplin.io if you're still having an issue!
