What it does

Penpot is an open-source design platform for product teams building digital products. It supports browser-based design and real-time collaboration, with interfaces expressed through open standards such as SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON. CSS Grid and Flex Layout support responsive interface design, while the platform also provides prototyping capabilities.

Design-system workflows include native Design Tokens, Components, and Variants for reusable and consistent UI. Inspect mode provides SVG, CSS, and HTML code for handoff, and integrations are supported through webhooks, an API, plugins, and an MCP server. Penpot is available as a hosted SaaS service or for deployment on user-controlled infrastructure, with documented Docker and Kubernetes installation options.
