Review

Clean interface and easy collaboration without feeling locked into a closed tool. It does everything I need for UI work without unnecessary clutter.

Penpot is simple, reliable, and genuinely pleasant to use. I especially like the open-source aspect and how easy it is to share designs.

As a developer, the handoff is much smoother than I expected. Inspecting designs and grabbing CSS feels straightforward and practical.
