Penpot is the first **open-source** design tool for design and code collaboration. Designers can create stunning designs, interactive prototypes, design systems at scale, while developers enjoy ready-to-use code and make their workflow easy and fast. And all of this with no handoff drama.
Penpot is available on browser and [self host](https://penpot.app/self-host). It’s web-based and works with open standards (SVG, CSS and HTML). And last but not least, it’s free!
Penpot’s latest [huge release 2.0](https://penpot.app/dev-diaries), takes the platform to a whole new level. This update introduces the ground-breaking [CSS Grid Layout feature](https://penpot.app/penpot-2.0), a complete UI redesign, a new Components system, and much more. Plus, it's faster and more accessible.
🎇 **Penpot Fest** is our design, code & Open Source event. Check out the highlights from [Penpot Fest 2023 edition](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOpLZaK5mDc)!
Penpot expresses designs as code. Designers can do their best work and see it will be beautifully implemented by developers in a two-way collaboration.
[Penpot plugins](https://penpot.app/penpothub/plugins) let you expand the platform's capabilities, give you the flexibility to integrate it with other apps, and design custom solutions.
Penpot was built to serve both designers and developers and create a fluid design-code process. You have the choice to enjoy real-time collaboration or play "solo".
Penpot offers integration into the development toolchain, thanks to its support for webhooks and an API accessible through access tokens.
### What’s great for design ###
With Penpot you can design libraries to share and reuse; turn design elements into components and tokens to allow reusability and scalability; and build realistic user flows and interactions.
