A set of ready-to-use rich text editors created with a powerful framework. Made with real-time collaborative editing in mind.
CKEditor 5 is distributed as four ready-to-use builds which you can install from npm.
You can also customize the existing builds or build your own editors and features by using the CKEditor 5 Framework.
CKEditor 5 Builds are a set of ready-to-use rich text editors. Every "build" provides a single type of editor with a set of features and a default configuration.
The following CKEditor 5 Builds are currently available:
Creating an editor using a CKEditor 5 build is very simple and can be described in two steps:
- Load the desired editor via the
<script>
tag. - Call the static
create()
method to create the editor.
In your HTML page add an element that CKEditor should replace:
<textarea name="content" id="editor"></textarea>
Load the classic editor build (you can choose between CDN, npm and zip downloads):
<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/<version>/classic/ckeditor.js"></script>
Call the ClassicEditor.create()
method:
<script>
ClassicEditor
.create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ) )
.catch( error => {
console.error( error );
} );
</script>
You’re ready to go!
To find out how to start with other builds check the Quick start guide in the CKEditor 5 documentation.
CKEditor 5 Builds allow you to quickly and easily initialize one of the many types of editors in your application. At the same time, CKEditor 5 is also a framework for creating custom-made rich text editing solutions.
To find out how to start building your own editor from scratch go to CKEditor 5 Framework overview section of CKEditor 5 documentation.

CKEditor 5 is a modular, multi-package, multi-repository project. It consists of several packages that create the editing framework, based on which the feature packages are implemented.
The ckeditor5 repository is the place that centralizes the development of CKEditor 5. It bundles different packages into a single place, adding the necessary helper tools for the development workflow, like the builder and the test runner. Basic information on how to set up the development environment can be found in the documentation.
Each repository handles its issues independently. However, it is recommended to report issues in this repository unless you know to which specific repository the issue belongs.
