Penpot is the free open-source design tool for Design & Code collaboration.
https://design.penpot.app
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.
