User testimonials

Honestly, the more I use Penpot, the more impressed I am.I no longer use Figma or any of the other alternatives. All of my UI design is now done locally in PenPot. Thanks and keep up the good work!

I've installed Penpot locally! I'm absolutely proud of myself for doing so successfully 😎 And I'm also really pleased with the front-end approach it has! I'm migrating/adapting my WordPress Block Themes designs from Figma as a way to get familiar with the UI, and I'm surprised so far with how much these two systems match. I'm really excited as I've been mulling over switching for a long time! 🙌

All I wanted from Penpot was figma parity, but now if they can pull off these features at any sort of quality, it's going to be incredible.
