TinyMCE is a WYSIWYG HTML editor that developers can add to an application. It supports font formatting, links, images, media, tables, lists, and code samples, alongside tools such as search and replace, word count, preview, autosave, fullscreen, and autoresize. TinyMCE can be loaded from Tiny Cloud or self-hosted, including from a local script path. Listed integrations cover React, Angular, Vue.js, Blazor, Svelte, web components, jQuery, Django, Laravel, Ruby on Rails, and Bootstrap. Paid plans add document features such as Markdown, page and media embeds, and organization tools. Comments are listed for Professional and Enterprise, while mentions are available from Essential upward. The Free cloud plan includes 1,000 editor loads per month; the Open Source plan is self-hosted under GPL2+ and requires manual updates. Essential costs 79.00 USD per year, billed per month paid annually, for 5,000 monthly loads. Every plan includes a 14-day trial of advanced features. Tiny advises server-side filtering because client-side applications can be bypassed; SVGs are unsupported.
