Penpot overview

What is Penpot?

Penpot is the first free open-source design platform for design and code collaboration.

Ideal for teams to create wireframes, prototypes and design systems, visuals for webs, apps or any sort of digital interfaces and products.

With Penpot, handoff friction disappears—designers and developers share one workflow powered by Design Tokens, responsive layouts (CSS Grid & Flex), and a Code Inspect tab with production-ready SVG, CSS, and HTML. Designers create freely, developers deliver faster.

Self-hosting freedom: Penpot is the only design tool you can self-host. Run it on your servers for full privacy and control—or use the cloud version for convenience.

More than a tool, a platform: With its open API and plugin system, Penpot becomes an extensible ecosystem. Teams can integrate with other apps, extend workflows, and build tailored solutions—adapting Penpot to complex pipelines.

Key benefits of using Penpot

- Penpot speaks the coding language: Enable seamless collaboration between designers and developers with features such as CSS Grid and Flex Layout based on CSS standards. No hand-off bottleneck dramas.

- Design systems at scale: Penpot is the only design tool with native Design Tokens, along with Components and Variants, giving teams everything they need to build, maintain, and scale design systems effortlessly.

- Intuitive interface: Penpot offers an extremely intuitive and powerful web user interface. Developers feel right at home.

- Open Standards: Built on SVG, CSS, and HTML, Penpot ensures compatibility with most vector tools while avoiding vendor lock-in. Express your designs directly as code.

- Open Source: Full customization and flexibility thanks to its open-source nature. Users can modify the tool’s source code or extend it to meet specific needs.
