TinyMCE is an online rich-text editor released as open-source software under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.^[1] 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.^[2]

TinyMCE is compatible with the following browsers

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

It is compatible with these browsers on any operating system that officially supports the particular browser.^[3]

As of version 6.0, released 2022-03-03, support for Internet Explorer was dropped.^[4]

TinyMCE includes an extensive API for custom integration.^[5]

TinyMCE uses plugins extensively.

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.

• 65 different community-contributed language packs, including right-to-left support, are available for TinyMCE 7.^[45]
• 38 different professionally localized language packs, including right-to-left support, are provided to paid Tiny Cloud and elf-hosted deployments of TinyMCE 7.^[46]

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.^[47]

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,^[48] and the default skin is called Oxide.^[49]

In TinyMCE 5.x, the default theme is called Silver,^[48] and the default skin is called Oxide.^[49]

In TinyMCE 6.x the default theme is also called Silver,^[50] and the default skin is also called Oxide.^[51]

Skins for TinyMCE 5 or 6 can be created and customized with TinyMCE's interactive skin tool.^[52]

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 two skins for each theme, default and o2k7.

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 CFML. A third-party Ruby on Rails compressor pack is also available.^[53]

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, ^[54] in 2004.
