With both editors, you can create clean HTML output with the easiest WYSIWYG editing possible. If you've already started writing rich-text content, all you have to do is paste it in onlinehtmleditor.dev, make your adjustments, extract HTML output from view-source mode and reuse it anywhere on the web!

More on CKEditor 5

Easy HTML editing

CKEditor 5's HTML source code editing feature allows it to be used as an online HTML editor. It includes syntax highlighting to make it easier for you to follow code. It can be forced to accept any type of code includingtags by simply turning off the HTML filtering. You can also switch to WYSIWYG mode anytime to check how your code output looks!

Clean your HTML code

For situations where you would like to clean and fix up invalid HTML, you can use CKEditor 5's source code editing feature as well. After switching to source code mode, all you have to do is to paste in your HTML and CKEditor 5 will automatically fix it. You can again switch back and forth to WYSIWYG mode anytime to edit content more easily.

Convert Word document and Google Docs to HTML

CKEditor 5 has excellent copy-paste with constant improvements. Whether you are copy-pasting from Google Docs, Word, Excel or LibreOffice, CKEditor will get you your exact content. This makes it better than any ordinary tool to turn your existing Word and Google Docs and LibreOffice documents to HTML. Simple as, paste your content, and click source code mode to see the HTML output.

Collaborative writing

If you're looking for an alternative to Google Docs real-time collaboration, but you also need HTML output, CKEditor 5 is a go! You can use it to comment on selected parts of the content, text, images, tables or suggest edits with its track changes feature.

To collaborate with your colleagues or friends all you have to do is to share the link. Each time you load the page, a special document ID gets attached to the URL. Each document ID and its content stays active for an hour after the last user disconnects from it so you do not immediately lose your content. Also, there isn't a limit for the number of collaborators!

Collaboration makes it easier to create your content quickly and efficiently. With CKEditor 5, where you write, comment, discuss and proofread the content are unified so you don't lose time switching between applications to edit and discuss. If some of your collaborators prefer Markdown, CKEditor 5 has you covered there too!

Why CKEditor?

WYSIWYG editors in your software often misbehave. This is usually because they are out-of-date or simply are not reliable. Unfortunately, many developers opt for simple, lightweight, do-it-yourself-editors based on assumptions without doing proper research or testing for their individual use case. This leaves the end users frustrated.

However, both CKEditors are built with 16 years of experience in WYSIWYG rich-text editing by a team of 40+ developers. We consistently listen to user concerns, trends, new feature requests to help us build our editors. Architectures that can handle complex structures and the constant improvements makes the editors stronger than any other examples.
