Frequently Asked Questions

WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. A WYSIWYG HTML editor lets you format content visually — you see bold text as bold, headings as large, and images in place — while the editor automatically generates the underlying HTML code for you. No HTML knowledge is required to produce properly structured code.

Yes, completely free. There is no cost, no subscription, and no hidden limit on usage. The editor is powered by the open-source FCKeditor library, which is freely available under the GNU LGPL v2.1 license. The site is supported by advertising.

No. You can use the editor immediately without registering, logging in, or providing any personal information. Just open the home page, type in the editor, and copy your HTML.

The editor works in all modern desktop browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. For best results, keep your browser up to date. Some older or mobile browsers may have limited toolbar functionality.

Click the Source button in the toolbar (it looks like </>). The editor switches to source view and displays the raw HTML code. Use Ctrl + A to select all of it, then Ctrl + C to copy. Paste it anywhere that accepts HTML input.

Yes. Use the Paste from Word button in the toolbar (clipboard + W icon) instead of plain Ctrl+V. This strips the proprietary Microsoft formatting tags that Word adds and produces clean, standard HTML instead.

Click the Insert/Edit Image button (the picture icon) in the toolbar. A dialog will open where you can enter the URL of the image you want to embed. The image must already be hosted online — the editor does not upload or store images. You can also set alt text, dimensions, alignment, and border in the same dialog.

Yes. Select the text you want to link, then click the Insert/Edit Link button (chain icon) in the toolbar. Enter the destination URL, optionally set the target to open in a new tab, and click OK. The selected text becomes a clickable hyperlink in your HTML output.

Click the Insert Table button in the toolbar. A dialog allows you to set the number of rows and columns, border thickness, cell padding, and cell spacing. After inserting the table, you can right-click any cell for options to add/remove rows and columns, merge cells, or adjust cell properties.

Templates are pre-built content layouts you can load into the editor with one click. Click the Templates button in the toolbar to open the template browser. Available templates include:

• Image and Title — a header image with a headline and body text
• Two-Column Layout — side-by-side text blocks
• Text and Table — introductory paragraph followed by a data table

Note: applying a template replaces your current editor content, so use templates at the start of a new document.

Use Ctrl + Z to undo your last action, or click the Undo button in the toolbar. Use Ctrl + Y or the Redo button to redo an undone action. The editor maintains a history of your recent edits.

Anywhere that accepts HTML input. Common destinations include:

• Shopping cart product description fields (Shopify, WooCommerce, eBay, Amazon)
• Email newsletter HTML content blocks (Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Klaviyo)
• CMS page and post HTML editors (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal)
• Custom website HTML files
• HTML email clients and templates

Yes. The editor produces standard HTML that follows web conventions. It outputs proper semantic tags like <p>, <strong>, <em>, <ul>, <table>, and <a>. The code is suitable for pasting directly into any HTML-accepting field.

No. The editor runs entirely in your browser and does not save content to any server. If you close or refresh the page, your content will be lost. Make sure to copy your HTML code before leaving the page. For safety, you can paste your text or HTML into a local text file as a backup.

Yes. Click the Source button in the toolbar to switch to source mode, then paste your existing HTML directly into the source area. Click Source again to return to visual mode — the editor will render your HTML visually so you can continue editing.

This site uses FCKeditor v2.3.2, a widely used open-source WYSIWYG HTML editor. FCKeditor is released under the GNU LGPL v2.1 open-source license. The editor runs entirely client-side in your browser using JavaScript.

No. All editing happens locally in your browser. Your content never leaves your computer unless you explicitly copy and paste it elsewhere. Images are referenced by URL only and are not uploaded through this tool.
