How Do I Support the Development of CKEditor?

This website contains links to software which is either no longer maintained or will be supported only until the end of 2019 (CKFinder 2). For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

If you look for an information about very old versions of CKEditor, FCKeditor and CKFinder check also the CKEditor forum, which was closed in 2015. If not, please head to StackOverflow for support.

CKEditor is and has always been an Open Source product. We are proud to be a part of the Open Source movement and are happy that we can offer the result of long hours of our work completely for free to everyone who wants to use the editor.

We managed to build a company based on the success of our free editor. We cannot accept donations for our work, so the cost of the editor development and enhancements is covered from the commercial licenses that are available.

If you appreciate our work and want to support the development of CKEditor, it will be most welcome. Here are a couple of things that you can do:

Thank you for your support and for helping us make CKEditor better every day!
