Designers can create stunning designs, interactive prototypes, and design systems at scale, while developers enjoy ready-to-use code and make their workflow easy and fast.

Designed for developers

Penpot was built to serve both designers and developers and create a fluid design-code process. You have the choice to enjoy real-time collaboration or play "solo".

Inspect mode

Work with ready-to-use code and make your workflow easy and fast. The inspect tab gives instant access to SVG, CSS and HTML code.

Self host your own instance

Provide your team or organization with a completely owned collaborative design tool. Use Penpot's cloud service or deploy your own Penpot server.

Integrations

Penpot offers integration into the development toolchain, thanks to its support for webhooks and an API accessible through access tokens.

Self hosting instructions (via docker) can be found here: https://help.penpot.app/technical-guide/getting-started/#install-with-docker

Nice alternative to Figma. Gave it a try a couple of months ago but the snapping was super unreliable and exporting to PDF screwed up the quality of any pictures to an unusable point. Might have to give it another try and see if some of my problems have been fixed.

I use Penpot for every personal project that I can. The new(ish) grid layout is just beautiful. Figma can't do that, can it!

Unfortunately, there's a lot more Penpot can't do that Figma can. And for any reasonably complex project, or commercial ones, I have to go back to it.

Hopefully Penpot catches up soon! My biggest showstopper right now is variable fonts. If it was possible to manually set CSS somehow, maybe that would help bridge the gap a lot!

I had tried to self host an instance, but for some reason couldn't get it to work. I was really new to self hosting at that point though, and should probably give it another go, it seems too useful to ignore completely.
