Tiptap

Headless, framework-agnostic rich text editor built on ProseMirror. Start with a lightweight open-source core and extend with over 100 extensions to build custom editors that align with your product. The headless approach gives full control over markup and styling, so you compose exactly the UX you want instead of adapting a prefab editor.

Tiptap is used in production by apps across collaboration, documentation, and content platforms. It stands out from monolithic editors like Quill or Slate by offering a modular extension system where you add only the features you need. Deployment options include self-hosted or managed cloud, and the editor integrates with React, Vue, Svelte, and plain JavaScript.

Key capabilities:

• Modular extension system with 100+ extensions for formatting, media, code blocks, and more
• Real-time collaboration with live carets, cursors, and offline-first sync
• AI Toolkit for building agents that read and edit documents, with streaming and custom LLM support
• Import and export DOCX, ODT, and Markdown for interoperability
• Free UI components and templates including simple editor and Notion-like layouts

Developers use Tiptap to build custom content experiences in SaaS products, documentation tools, and collaborative apps. The headless design fits well with design systems and existing frontend stacks. Integrate via npm, configure with extensions, and optionally add collaboration or AI features as your product grows.
