Penpot is the first **Open Source** design and prototyping platform meant for cross-domain teams. Non dependent on operating systems, Penpot is web based and works with open standards (SVG). Penpot invites designers all over the world to fall in love with open source while getting developers excited about the design process in return.
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.
[Elestio](https://elest.io/) 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.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on [getting started with Docker.](https://help.penpot.app/technical-guide/getting-started/#install-with-docker)
### Penpot cloud app ###
If you prefer not to install Penpot in a local environment, [login or register on our Penpot cloud app](https://design.penpot.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.
We love the open source software community. Contributing is our passion and if it’s yours too, [participate](https://community.penpot.app/) and [improve](https://community.penpot.app/c/help-us-improve-penpot/7) Penpot. All your ideas and code are welcome!
