# Paper Roadmap designing the future — 2026 ### for the love of design 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 in progress ### Native Tailwind CSS integration We're partnering with the [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/) team to render Tailwind in real time and import and export idiomatic Tailwind code in progress ### Paper Snapshot browser extension No more drawing on screenshots — copy sections of your live site and paste them into Paper, ready to edit and iterate done ### CSS Grid Powerful layout options rendered with real CSS, so your design choices can truly make it all the way to production planned ### Components with slots A component system reimagined for today’s needs, aligned with code concepts, including support for props and slots coming soon ### Themes and tokens Based on real CSS, use calc, color-mix, blend modes, and more to build consistent, scalable, and production-ready systems coming soon ## 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 done ### 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 planned ### Fetch live data Wire up your designs with MCP agents from APIs or Google Sheets to fetch live data and see the real thing in progress ### Host assets from Paper Every asset in Paper gets a direct link, ready to use as a CDN for prototyping or production in progress ## 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 in progress ### Right click → Remix Find momentum on mood boards. Explore visual possibilities with fast variations, font pairings, and color scales planned ### Generate Videos Generate or paste in videos so you can create any assets you need and see your videos in your designs planned ### Lottie/Rive/YouTube embeds Paste your animations into designs or animated brand store assets in one place with the rest of your work planned ## 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 coming soon ### Pen tool and vector editing Bringing the best of every vector tool into Paper and preserving SVG details that existing tools lose coming soon ### Icon packs, shadcn, component kits We're partnering with [Base UI](https://base-ui.com/) to build a world-class component kit. The JS world at your fingertips, icon packs, shadcn, and more coming soon ### Incredible search & nested folders Find files faster with LLM smart search, nested folders, and tags—so anyone on the team can actually find designs planned ## the most advanced design canvas ### Particle system Unlock your creativity and use particle systems to create stunning and unique visual designs planned ### Paper Shaders: more effects and textures We are continually expanding [Paper Shaders](https://shaders.paper.design/) with more motion effects, image filters, and post-processing effects in progress ### Advanced Image Filters No need to switch tools: professional-grade image filters including blur, sharpen, color adjustments, and filters planned ### Three.js islands Embed islands of three.js inside your design files to really open up the creativity possibilities planned ## a snapshot worth keeping thank you for being here one day, we'll all want to remember capture this moment with us click to capture
