What Penpot does
Penpot is a design and prototyping platform for creating interfaces, design systems, and interactive prototypes, built on open web standards (SVG) instead of a proprietary format. Design teams use it as a self-hosted alternative to Figma with full data ownership. Because files are standard SVG under the hood, exported assets stay usable outside of Penpot itself.
