About

Penpot is the first open source design tool for design and code collaboration. Design, prototype, and deliver with full creative freedom.

Target Audience: Product designers, UX/UI teams, and front-end developers use Penpot to create interfaces and prototypes in the same environment, so they can iterate together without exporting files between tools. It is also a fit for agencies and organizations that want an open-source, self-hostable alternative for collaborative product design and developer handoff.
Not ideal for: Teams that need a desktop-first proprietary design suite with a large plugin ecosystem and vendor-managed enterprise workflows may find Penpot less suitable.

What makes it different

  • Open-source and self-hostable, so teams can run it in their own infrastructure instead of relying only on a proprietary cloud vendor.
  • Browser-based with no desktop install required, making it accessible across operating systems from a standard web browser.
  • Uses SVG as its native design format and supports exports such as SVG, PNG, and PDF.
  • Combines design, prototyping, reusable components, and real-time collaboration in a single product built for design-code handoff.
