Penpot - Where Design Meets Code
Penpot is the first open-source design and prototyping platform built for cross-domain teams. Unlike Figma, Penpot uses open web standards (SVG) so your designs are truly portable.
Work with designers, developers, and stakeholders in real-time. Create components, design systems, and interactive prototypes - all in your browser with no installation required.
Key Features

SVG-Native
Built on open standards. Export to SVG, PDF, or code. Your designs work everywhere without conversion.
Interactive Prototypes
Create clickable prototypes with transitions, overlays, and interactions. Share and test with stakeholders.

Why Open-Source Design Tools?
Your designs are valuable IP. With proprietary tools, you risk losing access if pricing changes or the service shuts down. Open source means your work is always yours.
No per-seat licensing that punishes team growth. Invite stakeholders, contractors, and clients without worrying about costs. Self-host for complete data sovereignty.
