Alternative to Figma
Penpot is a web-based UI design and prototyping tool that uses SVG as its native format. By adhering to web standards, it enables an open design workflow free from proprietary format lock-in.
- SVG-native output for vendor-independent design data that works with any SVG tool
- Component system for building reusable design elements and design systems
- Prototyping with configurable interactions and transitions
- Real-time collaborative editing for simultaneous team design work
- CSS inspect for direct extraction of CSS values from designs for developer handoff
- Self-hosted deployment via Docker alongside a free cloud offering
Built with ClojureScript and Clojure, Penpot is the only self-hostable alternative to Figma. Its commitment to web standards minimizes the gap between design and development workflows.
