Penpot FAQ

Common questions about Penpot, answered from independent, dated evidence.

What is Penpot?

Source: https://penpot.app/pricing

Is Penpot free to use?

Prices are published openly on the vendor's own pricing page. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.

Source: https://penpot.app/pricing

What platforms does Penpot support?

We have confirmed browser-based access to Penpot. That is the extent of what we could verify from public sources, so it may well offer desktop or mobile clients we have not indexed.

Source: https://penpot.app/pricing

Can Penpot be self-hosted?

Yes. Penpot can be deployed cloud / SaaS, air-gapped and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.

Source: https://penpot.app/pricing

What does Penpot integrate with?

We have confirmed 5 integrations for Penpot, including Open API, MCP Server, Webhooks, Access tokens and Plugins. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

Source: https://penpot.app/pricing/self-host

What security certifications does Penpot have?

We have independently confirmed GDPR for Penpot. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Penpot not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

Source: https://penpot.app/security-whitepaper

Is Penpot open source?

Yes. Penpot is published under the MPL-2.0 licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence

Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Penpot, not the verdict.
