💁♀️ Zeplin no longer uses fixed platform types for projects and styleguides. More details here: Zeplin is switching to platform-neutral projects starting from June 2025
You can switch between platforms (Web, iOS, Android, macOS) while inspecting a screen or component in Zeplin. This updates the specs, units, assets, and code snippets to match the platform you're working with.
To switch the platform, click on a layer, and you'll then see a dropdown menu on the right panel labeled with the currently selected platform. Click this dropdown and choose the platform you want to view—Web, iOS, Android, or macOS.
Once you make a change, the specs and assets on the right panel will immediately update based on your selected platform. For example, if you switch to Android, dimensions will use dp/sp, and assets will include formats like SVG and PNG. Switching to iOS will show specs in pt and assets in PDF, or SVG, and PNG.
What changes when you switch platforms?
Units and specs (px, pt, dp, rem)
Asset formats (e.g., PDF, SVG, PNG)
Code snippets and extensions (e.g., SwiftUI, HTML, XML, CSS, AppKit)
Features available (e.g., Xcode integration, VS Code integration, Android Studio Integration)
💁♀️ Your selection is saved locally to your browser or desktop app and applied automatically when inspecting other screens/components across all projects. Each user can select their own platform—this won't affect what other project members see.
