What is Tiptap?

Tiptap is a powerful developer toolkit offering a suite of content editing and real-time collaboration functionalities. It is designed for developers who want to build highly customized and flexible text editor experiences, similar to platforms like Notion, in a fraction of the time. Tiptap provides an extension-based architecture with over 100+ pre-built Core, Pro, and Cloud extensions, alongside the ability for developers to create and integrate their own. It offers both open-source components and cloud-based services, allowing for self-hosting or scalable cloud deployment.

How to use Tiptap

Developers integrate Tiptap into their applications by leveraging its open-source editor, extensive extension library, and front-end React templates. They can choose to use core open-source features or opt for cloud-based services like Collaboration, Content AI, Comments, and Documents, some of which offer free trials while others are paid features. The platform emphasizes a headless, modular, and fully customizable approach, enabling developers to tailor the editor experience precisely to their users' needs. Comprehensive documentation and examples are available to guide the integration process.
