Paper Roadmap
designing the future — 2026
We’re building Paper because we love design and we want tools that are passionate, precise, and ready for today’s possibilities. Paper is currently in open alpha. We’re a small team with big ambitions. We ship to production nearly every day. We’re building in the open, gathering feedback, and genuinely excited to hear your ideas.
from Paper to production
Use your code components
No need to maintain two design systems. Compose new flows with one source of truth and the same code your users see
Native Tailwind CSS integration
We're partnering with the Tailwind team to render Tailwind in real time and import and export idiomatic Tailwind code
Import Anything browser plugin
No more drawing on screenshots — copy sections of your live site and paste them into Paper, ready to edit and iterate
CSS Grid
Powerful layout options rendered with real CSS, so your design choices can truly make it all the way to production
Components with slots
A component system reimagined for today’s needs, aligned with code concepts, including support for props and slots
Themes and tokens
Based on real CSS, use calc, color-mix, blend modes, and more to build consistent, scalable, and production-ready systems
an open, connected design tool
MCP server
Connect an IDE or CLI of your choice so your coding workflows can work with the design source of truth
Script and prompt engine
Open the scripter pane and write Paper code or prompt new tools in real time to create entirely new ways of working
Fetch live data
Wire up your designs with data connectors from APIs or Google Sheets to fetch live data and see the real thing
Host assets from Paper
Every asset in Paper gets a direct link, ready to use as a CDN for prototyping or production
a mindful LLM layer, right on the canvas
Canvas-aware agent assistant
Reduce boilerplate work by asking agents to do the repetitive work, freeing you up to get more done and design with creativity
Right click → Remix
Find momentum on mood boards. Explore visual possibilities with fast variations, font pairings, and color scales
Generate Videos
Generate or paste in videos so you can create any assets you need and see your videos in your designs
Lottie/Rive/YouTube embeds
Paste your animations into designs or animated brand store assets in one place with the rest of your work
everything you expect from a pro tool
Full sharing settings
All of the controls you need to grant permissions to your team or outside contractors
Pen tool and vector editing
Bringing the best of every vector tool into Paper and preserving SVG details that existing tools lose
Icon packs, shadcn, component kits

Incredible search & nested folders
Find files faster with LLM smart search, nested folders, and tags—so anyone on the team can actually find designs
the most advanced design canvas
Particle system
Unlock your creativity and use particle systems to create stunning and unique visual designs
Paper Shaders: more effects and textures
We are continually expanding Paper Shaders with more motion effects, image filters, and post-processing effects
Advanced Image Filters
No need to switch tools: professional-grade image filters including blur, sharpen, color adjustments, and filters
