Most WYSIWYG editors — TinyMCE, Quill, Froala — are built for editing text within an existing page. GrapesJS goes further: it lets you build entire page layouts, control styles, manage responsive breakpoints, and export clean HTML/CSS. It is the open-source WYSIWYG page builder that developers choose when they need more than just a rich-text editor.
Enhance your editor with plugins →Why GrapesJS goes beyond WYSIWYG
Structure, not just text
GrapesJS models your page as a component tree — rows, columns, sections, and blocks — not just a flat editable area.
Visual style control
The Style Manager gives non-developers a visual panel to control typography, colors, spacing, and more without touching CSS.
Responsive design built-in
Switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile views. Styles cascade across breakpoints just like real CSS.
Clean, production-ready output
GrapesJS outputs valid, minifiable HTML and CSS that is ready to deploy — no proprietary markup or extra dependencies.
