What are design tokens?

Design tokens are the visual design atoms of a design system - the smallest pieces of design data like colors, typography, spacing, and animation values. They store these values in a platform-agnostic way, making it easy to maintain consistent design across products.

What formats can I export design tokens to?

Our design token generator supports export to CSS Variables, SCSS variables, Tailwind CSS configuration, JavaScript/TypeScript objects, and JSON format. This makes it compatible with virtually any frontend framework or design tool.

What is the three-tier token architecture?

The three-tier architecture consists of: Primitive tokens (raw values like hex colors), Semantic tokens (purpose-based references like 'primary-color'), and Component tokens (specific component values like 'button-background'). This hierarchy ensures flexibility and maintainability.

Is this design token generator free to use?

Yes, the design token generator is completely free to use. You can create, organize, and export unlimited design tokens without any cost or registration required.

Design tokens are the visual design atoms of a design system. They are the smallest pieces of design data that store values for colors, typography, spacing, shadows, and animations. By using design tokens, teams can maintain consistency across products while enabling easy theming and brand updates.

Three-Tier Token Architecture

Primitive Tokens: Raw values like hex colors (#3b82f6) or pixel values (16px). These are the foundation of your design system.
Semantic Tokens: Purpose-based references that describe their intended use, like "primary-color" or "heading-font-size".
Component Tokens: Specific values for individual components, like "button-background" or "card-border-radius".
