Adobe 以高达 **200 亿美元的价格收购了流行的设计工具** [Figma](https://www.figma.com/)。


像往常一样，大型科技公司通过收购企业来消除竞争。因此，这并不完全是一个令人兴奋的消息。


但是，**令人兴奋**的是，我们遇到了一个自由开源的设计工具，它从 Figma 中获得灵感并且做得更好！


### Penpot：正在开发中的自由开源的设计工具

[Penpot](https://penpot.app/) Penpot 是一个正在积极开发的开源项目。将近两年前，它在 ProductHunt 上推出，目前处于测试阶段。


**Penpot 值得关注的地方：**


* 自由开源（当然）。
* 可以选择自托管。
* 跨平台。
* 使用 SVG 作为原生格式。
* 基于 Web。
* 具有行业标准功能（受 Figma 启发）。


你可以观看其官方视频以了解其基础知识：






Penpot 的主要亮点是使用 SVG 作为其原生格式。使用 SVG 文件，你可以获得与许多矢量图形编辑工具很好的兼容性。


因此，你保存下来的文件，同样可以被其他的图片编辑软件打开，而不会被其专有的格式锁定在一个特定的软件上。


Penpot 为你提供绝对最佳的开放标准。


Penpot 的 CEO，Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz 提到了更多：



> 
> 如果你在存储层面上采用 SVG（开放标准，支持 Web，移动互联网等），你马上就可以将你所有的 Penpot 设计与你的代码库整合起来。由于采用了 SVG 而不是另一种封闭的格式，你可以对设计本身的实际表现进行修改。这为设计师和开发人员打开了巨大的机会之门。另外，SVG 意味着我们免费地就为低代码提供了支持。你可以在 Penpot 中选择任何元素并查看它的 SVG（和 CSS）形式，知道它实际上是什么，无需翻译。这给设计师和开发人员之间带来了更值得信赖的关系，并允许前端开发人员尝试他们的设计技能。

所以，使用 SVG 作为原生格式有很多优势！


目前，该项目处于测试阶段，且在项目中有大量熟练的贡献者不断改进。


**这可以让它变成 Figma 最有用的开源替代品，让设计工具突破了大型技术公司。**


你可以自行托管它或使用云应用程序对其进行测试。在其官方网站上注册以学习和试验它。


你还可以查看其 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/penpot/penpot) 以探索更多信息。

这也让我想起了 [Akira](https://github.com/akiraux/Akira)，它的目标是成为一个用于 UI 和 UX 设计的原生 Linux 应用程序。它仍处于早期开发阶段，但当涉及 Linux 或开源计划时，这种努力总是受到赞赏。

Adobe is acquiring the popular design tool [Figma](https://www.figma.com/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) for a whopping **$20 billion**.

As usual, it is the big tech eliminating the competition by acquiring businesses. So, not entirely a piece of exciting news.

But, **what's exciting** is we came across a free and open-source design tool that gets its inspiration from Figma and does a few things better!

## Penpot: Free & Open-Source Design Tool in Development

![Penpot UI](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/penpot-screenshot.jpg)

[Penpot](https://penpot.app/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) is an open-source project in active development. It is in its beta phase following its launch on [ProductHunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/penpot?utm_source=badge-featured&utm_medium=badge#penpot) nearly two years ago.

**Here's what makes Penpot interesting:**

- Free and open-source (of course).
- Option to Self-host.
- Cross-platform.
- Using SVG as the native format.
- Web-based.
- Featuring industry-standard features (inspired by Figma).

You can watch its official video to know the basics of it:

The major highlight of Penpot is the use of SVG as its native format. With SVG files, you get compatibility with many vector graphics editing tools.

So you do not get locked down with a proprietary file format that can be accessed using a particular application.

Penpot gives you the absolute best of open standards.

The **CEO of Penpot, ***Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz*, mentions more about it:

If you go for SVG (open standard, web, mobile, etc) at the storage level, you can suddenly integrate all your Penpot designs with your code repos. You could make changes to the actual representation of the design itself thanks to SVG and not yet another closed format. That opens the door to massive opportunities for designers AND devs. Also, SVG means we are low-code ready for free. You can pick any element in Penpot and ask for its SVG (and CSS) representation knowing it's actually what it is, no translation. That brings a more trustworthy relationship between designers and devs and allows frontend devs to try out their design skillset.

So, using SVG as the native format has a lot of advantages!

At the moment, the project is in its beta stage and constantly improving with plenty of skilled contributors in the project.

**This can turn out to be the most useful open-source alternative to Figma, breaking out of big tech for design tools.**

You can self-host it or use the cloud app to test it out. Sign up at its official website to learn and experiment with it.

You can also check out its [GitHub page](https://github.com/penpot/penpot?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to explore more.

This also reminds me of [Akira](https://github.com/akiraux/Akira?ref=news.itsfoss.com), which aimed to be a native Linux app for UI and UX design. It is still in its early development stage, but such efforts are always appreciated when it involves Linux or the open-source initiative.
