TinyMCE is anonline rich-text editor released asopen-source software under theGNU General Public License version 2 or later.[4] TinyMCE uses afreemium business model that includes a free Core editor and paid plans with advanced features.[5] It converts HTMLtextarea fields, or other designated HTML elements, into editor instances.
TinyMCE is designed to integrate withJavaScript libraries such asReact,Vue.js,Angular and StencilJS as well ascontent management systems such asJoomla!, andWordPress.[6]
TinyMCE is compatible with the following browsers
It is compatible with these browsers on anyoperating system that officially supports the particular browser.[7]
As of version 6.0, released 2022-03-03, support forInternet Explorer was dropped.[7]
TinyMCE includes an extensiveAPI for custom integration.[8]
TinyMCE uses plugins extensively.
TinyMCE 7 shipped with 28 open source plugins[9] including:
There are 30 proprietary plugins, only available from Tiny with a paid subscription for TinyMCE 7[10] including:
TinyMCE is primarily a client-side application. It, consequently, does not include native file managers for various server technologies.
Multiple file manager solutions have been produced, including several open source file manager solutions, and at least two proprietary projects, developed by Tiny Technologies and EdSDK.
None of the open source file managers are still being developed or maintained and they are all incompatible with currently supported versions of TinyMCE.
