What it does

OpenPencil is an open-source design editor for opening and writing .fig and .pen files. Users can create and modify designs with components, variants, auto layout, CSS Grid, vectorization, AI-assisted operations, and real-time peer-to-peer collaboration. It also supports inspecting, linting, analyzing, converting, and exporting design documents, including JSX, HTML, images, and design tokens.

The product runs as a Tauri desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and is also available as a browser PWA and online web app. It includes a headless CLI, MCP server, Figma Plugin API evaluation, and a headless Vue SDK for programmable workflows and custom editors. The README describes it as active development with some rough edges.
