Layers

The platform integrates with Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD to import designs in their native state, preserving component relationships, styles, and interactive prototypes rather than flattening them to static images.

Reviewers can leave contextual comments anchored to specific design elements, creating structured feedback that designers can address systematically rather than parsing prose descriptions of visual changes.

The developer handoff module generates accurate CSS, iOS Swift UI, Android XML, and React Native specifications directly from design files, with measurements, spacing values, and color codes that update automatically when designs change eliminating the version drift between design files and handoff documentation that causes implementation errors and rework.

Component library views allow developers to browse all design system elements, understand their intended usage, and inspect properties without navigating through complex Figma file hierarchies that weren't organized with developer consumption in mind.

Design systems teams at growing product companies use Layers to maintain alignment between design intent and implementation reality as teams scale and design system complexity increases.

The platform's audit features track which components are used across different product areas, flag designs that deviate from established design system standards, and identify component variants that may warrant addition to the design system.

By creating a shared language between design and development where the same component names, properties, and states mean the same things to both disciplines Layers reduces the friction at the design-development handoff that consistently slows product delivery timelines.
