Design/Integration tools
Here is the kind of tool I want.
The design team is interested in helping us be faster at integrating their work.
Here is what the integration teams need:
- Font families: on which text?
- Font sizes: on which text?
- Cut icons and pictograms (PNG or SVG)
- Sizes of layout (columns, rows, borders)
- Colors of background, borders, gradients.
Is there a tool that can extract all these information from a Photoshop file?

Short answer: no.

Long answer:

You can extract the fonts used information manually:

  • Save or export the image document as a PDF
  • Open up the PDF version in Adobe Reader
  • Select File → Properties → Fonts

That's about it.

Saving grace?

The only thing I can suggest is looking at CSS3 PS: http://css3ps.com/ or CSS Hat: http://csshat.com/

CSS3 PS allows will genenerate CSS3 markup for layers in a PSD. Handy for gradients / drop shadows etc. I haven't used it for a while, but I am pretty sure it will generate the following CSS properties (and maybe more):

  • font-family
  • font-size
  • line-height
  • color
  • background
  • background-gradient
  • box-shadow
  • borders
