Penpot Fest exceeded all expectations - it was a complete success! Penpot Fest is our first Design event that brought designers and developers from the Open Source communities and beyond. Watch the replay of the talks on our Youtube channel or Peertube channel
Penpot is the first Open Source design and prototyping platform meant for cross-domain teams. Non dependent on operating systems, Penpot is web based and works with open standards (SVG). Penpot invites designers all over the world to fall in love with open source while getting developers excited about the design process in return.

Why Penpot
Penpot makes design and prototyping accessible to every team in the world.
For cross-domain teams
We have a clear focus on design and code teams and our capabilities reflect exactly that. The less hand-off mindset, the more fun for everyone.
Multiplatform
Being web based, Penpot is not dependent on operating systems or local installations, you will only need to run a modern browser.
Open Standards
Using SVG as no other design and prototyping tool does, Penpot files sport compatibility with most of the vectorial tools, are tech friendly and extremely easy to use on the web. We make sure you will always own your work.
Getting started
Install with Elestio
Elestio offers a fully managed service for on-premise instances of a selection of open-source software! This means you can deploy a dedicated instance of Penpot in just 3 minutes with no technical knowledge needed.
You dont need to worry about DNS configuration, SMTP, backups, SSL certificates, OS & Penpot upgrades, and much more.
Install with Docker
You can also get started with Penpot locally or self-host it with docker and docker-compose.
Heres a step-by-step guide on getting started with Docker.
Penpot cloud app
If you prefer not to install Penpot in a local environment, login or register on our Penpot cloud app. Create a team to work together on projects and share design assets or jump right away into Penpot and start designing on your own.
