Rich text editor
WEBWrite and format text in a visual editor and copy or export clean, email-friendly HTML — free and entirely in your browser.
What is the Rich text editor tool?
This rich text editor online turns formatted writing into clean, email-friendly HTML — free, with no account and nothing uploaded. Type in the visual WYSIWYG editor and use the toolbar for bold, italic, underline and strikethrough, headings, bulleted and numbered lists, blockquotes, links, tables and images by URL. What you see is what the HTML will render, so you write like in a document, not in code.
It doubles as a text to HTML converter: paste formatted content — from a Word document, a Google Doc or another page — and the editor keeps the structure, so you can copy out the HTML instead of rebuilding it by hand. Flip to the HTML source view at any time to inspect or hand-tweak the markup, then switch back and keep editing visually. The output is sanitized and tidied — unsafe markup removed, empty tags and stray whitespace dropped — so it pastes reliably into newsletters, email templates, CMS fields and documentation. When you are done, copy the HTML to your clipboard or export a ready-to-use .html file.
Everything runs locally in your browser: your content is never sent to a server, and the editor keeps working offline once loaded. It handles Arabic and other right-to-left writing correctly, works on a phone as well as a desktop, and never adds a watermark — a fast, distraction-free way to get portable HTML out of plain formatting.
How to use the Rich text editor
- Type your content in the visual editor, or paste formatted text from Word or a web page.
- Format it with the toolbar — bold, headings, lists, quotes, links, tables and images.
- Switch to the HTML source view to review or hand-tweak the markup.
- Copy the clean HTML to your clipboard, or export it as an .html file.
- Paste it into your email template, CMS or document.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get the HTML from what I wrote?
Two ways: click Copy HTML to put the sanitized markup on your clipboard, or switch to the HTML source view to see and select it directly. You can also export the whole document as an .html file.
Can I convert Word text to HTML?
Yes. Paste the formatted text from Word or Google Docs into the visual editor — headings, lists, links and emphasis carry over — then copy the cleaned HTML out. The sanitizer strips the messy proprietary markup Word normally brings along, which is exactly what you want for email and CMS use.
What's the difference between a rich text editor and an HTML editor?
A rich text editor is visual: you format with buttons and never see tags unless you open the source view. An HTML editor is code-first: you write the markup yourself with a live preview. If you think in documents, use this tool; if you think in tags, Carbide's HTML editor is the better fit.
What kind of HTML does it produce?
Clean, email-friendly HTML. The output is sanitized to remove unsafe markup and tidied to drop empty tags and stray whitespace, so it pastes reliably into newsletters, email templates and CMS editors.
Does my content stay private?
Yes. The editor runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type or paste is uploaded to a server, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
Is the rich text editor free, and are there limits?
Completely free — no sign-up, no watermark and no usage limits. Write, convert and export as much as you like.
