Penpot is an open-source, browser-based design and prototyping platform for product teams, built with Clojure/ClojureScript. It offers UI design, interactive prototyping, design systems with tokens, real-time multiplayer collaboration, and full self-hosting with an open API, plugin system, and MCP server for AI workflows.

Use cases

  • design UI mockups and wireframes in the browser
  • build interactive prototypes to share with stakeholders
  • create and maintain design systems with components and design tokens
  • self-host a Figma alternative for data privacy and ownership
  • collaborate in real time between designers and developers
  • convert designs to code and code to design with open standards like CSS, HTML, SVG
  • extend the design tool with plugins or AI agents via MCP

When to choose

  • you need an open-source, self-hostable design platform with no vendor lock-in
  • your team wants design-to-code workflows based on open web standards
  • you need real-time multiplayer design collaboration at scale
  • you want to integrate design tooling with AI agents, webhooks, or a plugin ecosystem

When to avoid

  • you rely on advanced features exclusive to proprietary tools like Figma's ecosystem
  • you need a lightweight desktop-only design tool without server infrastructure
  • you lack the capacity to self-host and prefer not to use the cloud offering
