Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Penpot to design user interfaces, build interactive prototypes, and create shared design systems with your team. It supports real-time collaboration between designers and developers, and generates code (CSS, HTML, SVG) that matches your designs. You can run it in a browser or self-host it. It also connects with AI agents and LLMs for design-to-code and code-to-design workflows. It's free and open-source, built on open web standards.
