About Penpot
Penpot is the first open-source design and prototyping platform meant for domain-spanning teams. Developed by Madrid-based Kaleidos, it is built on open web standards (SVG, CSS) to ensure that what is designed can be accurately translated into code by developers. This eliminates the traditional friction in the handoff process. The platform provides a professional-grade alternative to proprietary tools like Figma, offering both a cloud-based SaaS version and the ability for organizations to self-host the entire stack. This flexibility, combined with its open-source codebase, makes it a preferred choice for privacy-conscious enterprises, government entities, and open-source advocates who require full control over their design data and workflows.
