Maybe I’m using it wrong and it was never intended for this, but when I tried Penpot about a year ago, I had no way to export the diagram as one file like PDF or JPG. I could only export a layer. Did I miss something or am I not understanding what Penpot is for?

You can export each artboard. Usually, there would be one design/variant/mockup on one artboard. This is the same model of export as figma does it.

Not true. Figma lets you select an element ("layer") and export just that element (and its children as it appears on the canvas) to all of its available formats SVG, PNG, JPG, etc. and even offers 1x-4x scaling at export time.

Additionally you can add a number higher than 4x.

You were probably drawing onto the bare XY space without creating an art board first.

TIL about boards. That was exactly the issue. Thank you!
