Sympli

What Is Sympli?

Sympli is a cloud-based design collaboration platform that bridges the gap between designers and developers by automating the handoff process. As a freemium design tool, it streamlines the workflow of taking designs from tools like Photoshop or Sketch and converting them into implementation-ready specifications, assets, and style guides. Sympli works across web, iOS, and Android projects, enabling teams to maintain a single source of truth for design specifications and visual assets throughout the development cycle.

What Sympli Does

• Automatically generates bitmap and vector assets, redlines, and specifications from design mockups
• Creates style guides and design summaries that document colors, fonts, and visual patterns across projects
• Integrates with design tools including Photoshop, Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD through native plugins
• Provides platform-specific unit conversion, translating pixel measurements to iOS points (pt) and Android density-independent pixels (dp)
• Enables drag-and-drop asset implementation directly into Xcode and Android Studio for developers
• Tracks design versions with automatic notifications, allowing developers to stay synchronized with the latest specifications
• Supports team collaboration through commenting, access controls, and real-time file sharing

How Sympli Can Be Used

Sympli fits into several common design-to-development workflows. Designers create mockups in Photoshop or Sketch, export them to Sympli using the plugin, and share the project with their development team. Developers then access the specifications, assets, and style guide information through Sympli's web interface or IDE plugins, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication. For iOS and Android projects, developers can use Sympli's drag-and-drop feature to move design elements directly into their interface builders. When designers make updates, Sympli notifies developers automatically, ensuring teams always reference the current design specifications.

Who Is Sympli For?

Sympli serves teams where designers and developers need structured collaboration workflows—particularly those building iOS, Android, or web applications. It is well-suited for organizations that want to reduce time spent exporting assets manually, standardizing specs, and communicating design changes. Product managers, QA teams, and developers working with design-heavy projects benefit from Sympli's centralized asset library and version control. While it works effectively at any team size, it is especially valuable for mid-sized teams where design handoff automation can significantly reduce friction in the development process. Visit Sympli
