Penpot
Penpot · Design & Creative
Open-source design tool positioned as the alternative to Figma for teams that want self-hosting, on-premise deployment, or vendor-lock-in escape. Distinctive for using open web standards (SVG-native, not proprietary format) so files are portable across tools. Fully free when self-hosted; cloud tier launching. Backed by Kaleidos (Spanish OSS studio). Popular with government agencies, enterprises with data residency needs, and open-source purists.
In other words, Penpot is worth it for open-source-oriented design teams that want Figma-alternative UI/UX design with SVG-native files and full self-host option — particularly if data sovereignty or budget matter. Free forever for hosted use; Enterprise for self-hosted deployments. Moderate learning curve (Figma-similar UX). Native integrations with GitHub, GitLab, VS Code. Downside: smaller plugin ecosystem than Figma, and performance dips on very large files.
