Pablo Ruíz-Múzquiz, CEO of Penpot, took the stage at Penpot Fest 2025 to deliver the opening keynote, offering a quick wrap-up of what this year has brought for Penpot: a brand-new Plugins System, native Design Tokens, Variants, and a series of community events where the team showcased what real collaboration means for Penpot. He also shared key product metrics, outlined Penpot’s vision for AI, and explained the concept of the Open Nitrate Model.

Penpot is the free open-source design tool for Design & Code collaboration.

Penpot is ideal for product design: UI designs, prototypes, wireframes, mockups, webs, apps, and much more.

Penpot allows a true collaboration and no handoff drama between designers and developers thanks to features like CSS Grid Layout, Flex Layout and Code Inspect.

Designers get a professional, intuitive, powerful design tool with ground-breaking responsive layouts, design systems at scale. While developers get a design tool that expresses as code and provides ready-to-use code to develop faster.

Penpot is the only one that can be web-based or self-hosted. The app works with open standards (SVG and CSS) avoiding vendor lock-in. Also, it enables teams the flexibility and control in their designs, thanks to the API and webhooks available.
