Note the known limitations: the top-bar and status bar are not refreshed, and the rectangle drawing overlay is not working, both tied to Blender's Python API.
Mockup Screenshoter is a Blender add-on for making screenshots inside Blender and pasting them into Penpot. You find the "Mockup Screenshot" operator in the Window menu, drag the rectangle you want to capture, and paste the result into Penpot.
The add-on creates two screenshots: one with the Blender Dark theme and another with the Mockup theme. It then combines them in a group with an Opacity design token on the dark screenshot, so switching themes in Penpot shows the corresponding capture. The Mockup theme needs to be installed, though the theme used can be changed in the preferences if you prefer not to use it. An example of the tokens in Penpot is provided in tokens.json.
There are known limitations: the top-bar and status bar are not refreshed, and the drawing overlay of the rectangle is not working. Both stem from missing features in Blender's Python API, and the code already supports these limitations based on work-in-progress patches. The add-on is compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Mockup Screenshoter is best for blender users preparing screenshots as mockups for use in Penpot.
Mockup Screenshoter is completely free to download and use.
Mockup Screenshoter is compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer. The add-on's code already accounts for some current limitations based on work-in-progress patches that may be ready in time for 5.1. Because those limitations arise from missing features in Blender's Python API, running a supported version of Blender matters. Check the developer's page for the latest version and compatibility details before installing to make sure your Blender build is covered.
Mockup Screenshoter adds a "Mockup Screenshot" operator to the Window menu in Blender. To use it, open that menu, run the operator, and drag the rectangle covering the area you want to capture. The add-on then produces the screenshots and copies Penpot-ready JSON into the clipboard, which you paste into Penpot. Before your first use, install the Mockup theme, or change the theme used in the preferences if you prefer not to use it.
Mockup Screenshoter requests two permissions in Blender. It uses Files access to create a temporary folder for the screen captures, and Clipboard access to copy the Penpot-ready JSON into the clipboard. These correspond directly to how the add-on works: it captures the screen area you select and hands the result to Penpot through the clipboard. Both permissions are listed on the extension's page so you can review them before installing.
Mockup Screenshoter is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. You can get the add-on by dragging and dropping it into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk. For the current license terms, downloads, and any updates, refer to the developer's page, which also hosts the version history and issue tracker.
