"A good free alternative to Sketch or Figma"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Penpot?

It has all the necessary features of creating designs and prototypes as in Sketch. But it is better for collaboration and sharing. Plus it is completely browser-based. So it is super easy to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penpot?

Since its browser based, sometimes, the interface is a bit busy when compared to desktop apps like sketch on the mac. But that is not a major problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Penpot - The Ultimate Tool for Designers"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Penpot?

Penpot really impressed me. And the mindset of open source! Would love to see more projects like this, and now that Figma has been acquired by Adobe, I will continue to use and advocate Penpot to others. Goodbye, Adobe and all of your stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penpot?

There are few improvements like No automatic arrangement.

There is no light/dark mode switch.Rightnow,the community network is small but it will grow fast.I have no doubts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best free and open-source UX tool!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Penpot?

Has all the basics you would expect from a UX tool: artboards, components, interactions, and more!

And it allows collaboration and self-hosting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Penpot?

As of the time of writing this review, it's still early days: Penpot is still in Beta and thus it's a bit rough around the edges. However, it's still stable enough to be used in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
