Who is it for?

  • It suits teams that want control over their design files and infrastructure and look for an open-source tool they can self-host.
  • It suits small teams that want to work together on a free plan; the free plan allows up to 8 team members and unlimited viewers.

Getting started

  • Sign up for free in Penpot’s cloud app, or review the self-hosting methods such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Open a new file, build the interface with components, design tokens and CSS Grid or Flex layouts, then add prototype links.
  • When sharing with a developer, look at the CSS, HTML, SVG and JSON output in the inspect view and review it before taking it into your project.

Decision points

  • When choosing between the cloud plan and your own server, weigh the free cloud plan’s 10 GB storage and 7-day version history against the setup and upkeep work of self-hosting.
  • Code output quality varies by project; if you will carry designs into code, try a few screens against the framework your developer uses.

Limits

  • The free plan is limited to 8 team members, 10 GB storage and 7-day version history; limits may change, and paid plans add longer history and more storage.
  • The help page describing export formats could not be found; check yourself how PNG, SVG or PDF export works on the free plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is Penpot really free?

The pricing page shows a Professional plan at $0 per user, described as free and fully featured, with storage and member limits (these may change). Paid plans add storage and longer version history.

Can I install Penpot on my own server?

The GitHub repository shows the MPL-2.0 license, and the README says Penpot can be used in the cloud or installed on your own server through routes such as Docker and Kubernetes. Setup and maintenance are then your responsibility.
