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 don’t need to worry about DNS configuration, SMTP, backups, SSL certificates, OS & Penpot upgrades, and much more.

Get started with Elestio.

Install with Docker

You can also get started with Penpot locally or self-host it with docker and docker-compose.

Here’s 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.
