UXPin introduces Adaptive Tokens: automatically generate theming tokens from screenshots

Design · 4 min read

Adaptive Tokens scans a screenshot or a collection of screens and clusters visual properties into candidate tokens, proposing a theme with primary/secondary palettes, spacing scales, and suggested type scales. Users can accept, merge, or refine token sets and then apply them across components to create consistent prototypes.

The system also flags potential accessibility issues—contrast, font legibility at specific sizes, and touch-target sizes—and offers automated fixes. UXPin integrates the generated tokens into its design system manager so teams can version, publish, and subscribe to changes across projects.

Adaptive Tokens is positioned as a practical tool for modernization projects where designers must quickly retrofit old interfaces into a new system. UXPin offers an export path to common token formats (JSON, CSS variables) to smooth handoffs to engineering.
