Penpot

Collaborative interface design and prototyping platform with reusable components, design tokens and interactive multi-screen flows.

ToolScout view

Penpot is particularly relevant to design teams that want reusable components and tokens to keep interface decisions consistent. Its prototype features allow clickable flows across screens, helping teams review interactions rather than only static artboards. The largest payoff comes when designers and developers agree on component ownership and how tokens map into code. Teams working on occasional one-off graphics may find the design-system approach excessive. Assess it with a small interface library, realistic variants and a prototype handoff.

Before you choose: Create a reusable button and form system, change shared tokens and test a multi-screen prototype with developers.
