Overview

Penpot is an open-source design platform for teams building digital products. It runs in the browser, supports real-time collaboration, and can be self-hosted, which gives organisations full ownership of their design files.

What it does well

Penpot expresses design as code, so developers can work directly from it. It includes native design tokens for keeping design systems consistent, CSS Grid and Flex layouts that behave like real code, an open API and plugin system, and an MCP server that connects designs with AI and coding workflows.

Why it’s in the collection

Penpot is the most complete open-source alternative to Figma, and its use of web standards makes the handoff to developers far smoother. It is MPL-licensed and backed by a long-running company.
