Summary
CKEditor 5 is a TypeScript and JavaScript framework for building WYSIWYG rich-text editing experiences. Its editing tools cover text formatting, images, media embeds, links, tables, and lists, with HTML or Markdown output. Collaboration features include comments, track changes, restricted editing, and revision history. It can export content to PDF or Word and import DOCX documents. Official integrations are documented for Angular, React, Next.js, Nuxt, Vue, Salesforce, Svelte, Spring Boot, jQuery, SharePoint SPFx, and Drupal. Setup options include npm, CDN, and ZIP. The self-hosted editor can be used without an account under the GPL, subject to compliance, and displays a Powered by CKEditor logo; commercial self-hosting requires a custom plan and sales contact. A free plan is available, while paid plans start at 144 USD per month billed annually. The 14-day premium-features trial requires no credit card. Cloud plans count monthly editor loads, charge for extra blocks of 1,000 loads, and do not roll unused loads over.
