What is WYSIWYG?

What You See Is What You Get — an editor where the visual output matches the final rendered result.

WYSIWYG editors show the final appearance of content as you edit it, eliminating the gap between editing and preview. In web development, this traditionally meant rich text editors (TinyMCE, CKEditor). In 2026, AI app builders like InBuild extend the concept to full-page visual editing — you see the rendered website as you drag, drop, and rearrange components.
