Tiptap is an open-source framework for building custom rich-text editors.
What Tiptap is
Tiptap is an open-source framework for building custom rich-text editors. It is headless and built on ProseMirror, so developers can create editors for web, API, or self-hosted use. More than 100 extensions cover areas such as formatting, tables, AI, collaboration, comments, and conversion. Integration guidance spans JavaScript, React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte, Alpine, PHP, and CDN use. Its collaboration feature supports real-time editing with offline-first support, while paid conversion features handle DOCX and Markdown imports and exports including DOCX, PDF, EPUB, and Markdown. AI Toolkit works with several SDKs or a custom implementation. Tiptap Platform provides managed cloud documents; Enterprise can be deployed in the cloud or on premises. Real-time collaboration, comments, and document history require managed cloud documents or Enterprise on-prem deployment. The open-source plan is free; Start costs $49 a month, and a 30-day trial is offered without a credit card. Tiptap says it encrypts content in transit and at rest and is SOC 2 Type II compliant.
