Penpot is the open-source alternative to Figma with real-time collaboration, components, and prototyping. Self-hostable and based on open standards (SVG).
Reviewer scorecard
“If your team already uses Figma, FigJam is the obvious choice. Seamless context switching between design and planning.”
“Open-source Figma alternative that's genuinely usable. SVG-native output and self-hosting are significant advantages.”
“Stamps, stickers, and the playful UI make brainstorming sessions actually fun. The Figma integration is seamless.”
“Impressive for open source but the feature gap with Figma is still noticeable. Plugins and community resources are limited.”
“Feature-light compared to Miro. Fine for Figma shops but not enough to justify switching from an established whiteboard tool.”
“Free and self-hostable design tool. For teams that can't use Figma (security, cost, sovereignty), Penpot is the answer.”
