Designers

What your team designs is what actually ships

Applitools compares every locale against your baseline with Visual AI, so text overflow, truncation, and broken layouts show up before your customers see them.

Catch drift before anyone has to ask

The built UI gets checked against your Figma frame automatically, so you're not the one who has to notice a button shrank.

Compare two designs

See exactly what changed between versions, spacing, color, type, or layout, in one comparison instead of toggling between files.

Review it in one place, not three

Designers, developers, and QA see the same diff in a shared dashboard, so a "looks off" comment doesn't turn into a week of back and forth.

Where design intent gets lost, and how to catch it

Turn Figma frames into enforceable baselines

Native live-URL baseline resolution Drop standard Figma frame or selection URLs directly into test configurations. Applitools resolves each node via API, establishes the visual baseline, and attaches searchable design metadata including frame name, component type, and file revision.

The design becomes the source of truth That exported frame is the exact baseline the built UI gets checked against, not someone's memory of what the mock looked like.

See drift the moment it happens

Design-to-code comparison Visual AI checks the live implementation against your Figma baseline and flags anything that doesn't match: spacing, color, type, or layout.

Ignore what's supposed to change Mark placeholder content or dynamic areas to exclude, so a real layout break doesn't get lost in noise from content that was never meant to be pixel-perfect.

Track what changed between design versions

Design-to-design comparison Export a new version of a design and see exactly what moved, no manual side-by-side required.

A record of every decision Every comparison is saved, so you can point to exactly when and why a design changed instead of relying on memory.

See how the design holds up under real conditions

Real content breaks differently than placeholder text Test a layout against real copy, translated text, or user-generated content, and catch overflow or truncation before it ships, not after.

Check every breakpoint, not just the one you designed at See how the same layout holds up across screen sizes and devices, instead of assuming it looks right everywhere because it looked right in Figma.

How designers use Applitools

1

Design-to-Code Fidelity Verification

Confirm that live web pages and application screens match production Figma specs, catching layout drift, missing elements, and styling discrepancies automatically in CI.

2

Design System & Component Library Auditing

Audit shared UI components in Storybook and frontend frameworks against Figma design library frames, ensuring primitive tokens and styles match design specs before components are published.

3

Responsive Multi-Breakpoint Alignment

Map responsive test checkpoints to dedicated mobile, tablet, and desktop Figma frames, eliminating screen-size bundling and verifying responsive CSS rules at exact design dimensions.

4

Design-to-Design Evolution Tracking

Review iterations between Figma file revisions to inspect visual differences, spacing shifts, and component updates across design sprints without toggling between tabs.

Integrate Applitools into your current tech stack

Applitools supports all of your workflows with integrations and a wide range of test frameworks, SCMs, CI/CD tools, bug tracking tools, chat tools, and more.

What backs every design comparison

1

Figma-native export

Extend the same localization checks across web, native mobile, and PDF documents, so a translation update doesn't slip through in a format you didn't think to check.

2

Design-to-code comparison

Check the built UI against your Figma baseline and catch drift in spacing, color, type, or layout.

3

Local AI processing

Visual comparisons run locally within your environment. Page snapshots, including localized content, are never sent to an external model or used for training.

4

Deterministic Language Model

The same input always produces the same output in every locale, every run, so a result is something you can explain and trust.

5

Design-to-design comparison

Compare two versions of the same design and see exactly what changed between iterations.

6

Human-eye simulation

Visual AI ignores rendering noise and font anti-aliasing, and only flags a difference a person would actually notice.
