Write and format text visually, then get clean HTML code

An online HTML editor is a free WYSIWYG tool that lets you format text visually and get the matching HTML code right in your browser. Type or paste your content, style it with the toolbar the way you would in a word processor, then switch to the Text tab to read or copy clean HTML. Use the Visual tab to see the formatted result and the Text tab to edit the source directly. Nothing to install and no sign up.

FAQ about the online HTML editor

What is a WYSIWYG HTML editor?

WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. It is an editor where you format text visually, with buttons for bold, headings, lists and links, and the tool writes the matching HTML for you. You get the same result on your page as you see while editing.

How do I get the HTML code from my text?

Format your text in the Visual tab, then either switch to the Text tab to see the source, or click the Copy HTML button to copy the full code straight to your clipboard. Paste it wherever you need it.

What is the difference between the Visual and Text tabs?

The Visual tab shows your content formatted, the way it will look on a page. The Text tab shows the raw HTML source behind it. Use Visual to write and style, and Text to read or edit the code.

Can I paste content from Word or Google Docs?
