Native integrations with Angular, React and Vue.js are available for your convenience.

Building a mobile or cross-platform desktop application with JavaScript? CKEditor 5 is compatible with Electron and mobile devices (Android, iOS).

Well-designed UI with perfect UX ❤️

Text editing is not only about typing — your users will need an efficient WYSIWYG editor UI to create links, manage images or tables.

Seamless UX needs to be carefully designed and we put our hearts into it to make sure your editing process is smooth.

Rich text features your end-users will love

Auto-formatting – Your end-users write a lot? Save their time with auto-formatting and handy keyboard shortcuts.

Paste from Word – Paste content from Office applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel or Google Docs and have it converted to clean HTML.

Embed media – Insert embeddable media such as tweets, videos (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo), Instagram or Facebook posts.

Responsive images – Drag and drop an image to have it uploaded instantly. Built-in support for responsive images will let your website be friends with mobile devices.

Collaboration

CKEditor 5 core is designed to handle a tree-structured custom data model. This allows for implementing fast and reliable real-time collaboration inside complex structures such as tables or nested widgets.

We provide all the necessary infrastructure, including SaaS and scalable on-premise solutions, to enable real-time collaborative editing in your application.

With collaboration features, multiple users can write, edit and comment simultaneously. This makes your content creation and review process simpler within your application, without having to leave for a third-party solution.

Revision History

This brand new CKEditor 5 feature allows you to create, name, view, compare and restore document versions. All the changes made to the content, along with a chronological list of the versions, are viewable in the version preview mode.

It is perfect for both individuals and teams who want to version their content and have easy control over versions for elaborate or lengthy documents such as legal contracts or reports.

In CKEditor 5 everything is a plugin, even a basic feature like typing.

With a plugin-based architecture and an event-based, highly decoupled code, features are implemented in a granular way. You can tune-up, remove or replace plugins with your own implementations.

Use the data processor to produce custom output instead of HTML, for example Markdown, JSON or XML. The schema lets you define custom elements or restrict which elements can appear and where.

Easily adjust the theme with CSS variables. CKEditor 5 architecture even allows you to build your own third-party UI, for example in Bootstrap or React.

Quick export to PDF and Word

Create your content in the editor and easily generate a PDF or Word file. The document can be then downloaded and printed.

Don’t worry about the styles.
The exported file will look the same as the original content.
