We carefully analysed the latest industry trends and designed a nice modern interface that the users will just love.

Retina Ready

Why Retina? More detail, better aesthetics and sharper fonts. Otherwise, millions of users will think your website is ugly.

Our WYSIWYG HTML editor is the only one that has a special customizer tool to change the look and feel the way you want.

Custom Toolbar

Too many buttons? Perhaps not in the right order? You have full control over the editor's toolbar functionality on each screen size.

Custom All The Way

The editor was designed for any user. Everything can be customized or custom made: buttons, dropdowns, popups, icons, shortcuts.

Sticky Toolbar

To ease your editing experience the WYSIWYG editor's toolbar will remain at the top of the screen while you scroll down.

Toolbar Offset

The rich text editor's toolbar does not have to overlap with the header on your webpage, just set an offset for it.

Toolbar At The Bottom

Easily change the WYSIWYG HTML editor toolbar's position from top to bottom, while also using the sticky toolbar or an offset.

Full Screen

Dealing with large amounts of content requires a large editing space. The fullscreen button will expand the editing area to the whole webpage space.

Full Page

Writing and editing an entire HTML page is also possible. Helpful for emails, but not only, the usage of HTML, HEAD, BODY tags and DOCTYPE declaration is permitted.

Iframe

The WYSIWYG HTML editor's content can be isolated from the rest of the page using iframe so there is no style or script conflicts.

For the first time in a rich text editor, the toolbar can be customized for each screen size.

SEO

Clean HTML

We developed an algorithm that automatically cleans up the HTML output of our rich text editor. Write with no worries, the WYSIWYG HTML editor produces a very clean output, waiting to be crawled by search engines.

Image Alternative

Image alternative is the text shown if the browser can't display the image. It is also text that search engines use, so don't ignore it. Alternative text can be set in the edit image popup.

Although link title is not known to have major SEO impact, it helps users to navigate easier through your website. Not so important, but good to have. Set the link title in the link popup.

Security

Paragraph Format

Colorful

Give your thoughts some color. Change the text or background color as you wish, selecting from your color palette.

Undo & Redo
