Self-host Penpot
Privacy
Penpot doesn't monetize your data. This will never be our business model. You are free to host Penpot and your data yourself and to choose who has access to it.
Control
You might need to entrust your own people to deploy and run the Penpot service and take care of availability, backups, and security issues. That's fine by us!
Customization
You might have some particular needs and want to customize or extend Penpot, connect it to other services you use. Feel free to hack into Penpot!
There is absolutely no difference between our SaaS offer for Penpot and your self-hosted Penpot platform.
