TinyMCE is an online rich-text editor released as open-source software under the MIT License.[2] It converts HTML textarea
fields, or other designated HTML elements, into editor instances.
TinyMCE is designed to integrate with JavaScript libraries such as React, Vue.js, AngularJS and Bootstrap as well as content management systems such as Joomla!, and WordPress.[3]
Browser compatibility
TinyMCE is compatible with the following browsers
It is compatible with these browsers on any operating system that officially supports the particular browser.[4]
As of version 6.0, released 2022-03-03, support for Internet Explorer was dropped.[5]
API
TinyMCE includes an extensive API for custom integration.[6]
Plugins
TinyMCE uses plugins extensively.
In versions 5 and 6 both basic and some advanced functionality is provided by open source plugins.
Both versions also have many proprietary plugins, available only by paid subscription, for further functionality.
Free and open source plugins
TinyMCE 5 ships with 41 open source plugins[7] including:
- Advanced List.
- Character Map.
- Code.
- Directionality.
- Print.
- Search and Replace.
- Word Count.
TinyMCE 6 ships with 29 open source plugins[8] including:
- Advanced List.
- Character Map.
- Code.
- Directionality.
- Search and Replace.
- Word Count.
The number of shipped open source plugins differs between versions 5 and 6 because
- several version 5 plugins — including Noneditable, Paste, Print, Table, and Text Pattern, — were incorporated into the core TinyMCE 6 code;[9]
- several version 5 plugins — including BBCode, Color Picker, Context Menu, Horizontal Rule, and Legacy Output — were deprecated and removed from TinyMCE 6;[10] and
- some version 5 plugin functionality — in particular the Spell Checker and the Paste from Microsoft Office functionality — was moved to proprietary plugins, available only by paid subscription, for use with TinyMCE 6.[11]
Proprietary plugins
There are 18 proprietary plugins, only available from Tiny with a paid subscription, for TinyMCE 5[12] including:
- Accessibility Checker.
- Advanced Code Editor.
- Link Checker.
- Spell Checker Pro.
There are 25 proprietary plugins, only available from Tiny with a paid subscription, for TinyMCE 6[13] including:
- Accessibility Checker.
- Advanced Code Editor.
- Comments.
- Footnotes.
- Inline CSS.
- Link Checker.
- Merge Tags.
- Spell Checker Pro.
File management
TinyMCE is primarily a client-side application. It, consequently, does not include native file managers for various server technologies.
Multiple file manager solutions have been produced, including several open source file manager solutions, and at least two proprietary projects, developed by Tiny Technologies and EdSDK.
None of the open source file managers are still being developed or maintained and they are all incompatible with currently supported versions of TinyMCE.
Free and open source file managers
Project | Description | Compatibility | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Open Manager | An Ajax file uploader and image gallery plugin | TinyMCE 3.x | The original developer closed this project some years ago and does not recommend it be used in production.[14] No others have forked and updated the code-base. |
TinyBrowser | File manager featuring multiple file upload support. | TinyMCE 3.x | The uploader requires the, now deprecated, Adobe Flash.[15] Also, this project has not been updated since 2011.[16] |
TinyCIMM | TinyMCE CodeIgniter Media Manager: a plugin for both TinyMCE and CodeIgniter, which allows image and media file management from within TinyMCE. | TinyMCE 3.x | The announcement page for this project is a, now-archived, ExpressionEngine CMS forum page.[17] Also, the demo and download page, as of 2023-02-02, returns a 404 error.[18] |
IMCE | An image and file uploader and browser for rich text editors that supports personal directories and quotas. | TinyMCE 3.x | Being actively developed as of 2023-02 but no further updates to TinyMCE support and no support for versions of TinyMCE beyond 3.x.[19] |
PDW Media Browser | A media browser with a Windows 7-style user interface. | TinyMCE 3.x | No longer being actively developed[20] and no longer available from the original developer’s site because ‘it isn’t safe to use anymore.’[21] |
Responsive File Manager | A file manager and image manager made with the jQuery library, CSS3, PHP and HTML5. | TinyMCE 5.x,[22] TinyMCE 4.x, and TinyMCE 3.x | Released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License which requires a payment to the author for use in a commercial project or setting.[23] |
Proprietary file managers

Other third-party TinyMCE plugins
- After the Deadline — A spelling, style, and grammar checking software service with a TinyMCE plugin.

Language support
- 36 different translations, including right-to-left support, are available for TinyMCE 5.x.x.[30]
- 38 different translations, including right-to-left support, are available for TinyMCE 6.x.x.[31]
Product support
Community peer-to-peer support for TinyMCE is available on platforms such as GitHub and Stack Overflow. Product support is available when purchasing any subscription with TinyMCE.
Official support for TinyMCE 5.10 (the last version 5 release) ended on 2023-04-20.[32]
Themes and skins
In TinyMCE, themes and skins refer to different aspects of the editor. A theme relates to the editor's construction, while a skin make changes to the appearance of the editor.
In TinyMCE 5.x, the default theme is called Silver,[33] and the default skin is called Oxide.[34]
In TinyMCE 6.x the default theme is also called Silver,[35] and the default skin is also called Oxide.[36]
Skins for TinyMCE 5 or 6 can be created and customized with TinyMCE's interactive skin tool.[37]
In Version 4 of TinyMCE, the first skin tool was created and more skins were made available in the skin/plugin repository.
TinyMCE 2.x->3.x offered various ways to customize the look and feel of the editor. TinyMCE 3.x came packaged with two themes, simple and advanced, as well as 2 skins for each theme, default and o2k7.
Compressor
TinyMCE also has an optional compressor pack to reduce the overall script download footprint, in the time it takes the script to initialize. The compressor pack is available for PHP, ASPX, JSP, and CFM. A third-party Ruby on Rails compressor pack is also available.[38]
History
TinyMCE was spun out of a content management system developed by Johan “Spocke” Sorlin and Joakim Lindkvist from their original content management system, Moxiecode Content Editor, [39] in 2004.
