Simple, lightweight CMS built for independent content creators.
Publii is a beginner-friendly content management system designed to help you set up your website easily and quickly — so you can focus on writing, not wrestling with code.
As an independent creator, you also care about how you write. Publii gives you three different editors, each built for a different writing style.
Some writers think in formatted paragraphs. Others live in Markdown. Some prefer blocks that handle semantic structure automatically. Pick what works for you. Every post can use whichever editor fits best.
You also get practical tools: automatic image optimization, built-in SEO options, or a writer's panel that tracks your content stats — word count, reading time, characters. It's there when you need it.
This matters because you're not dependent on how some platform wants you to work. Your content, your tools, your rules. Want to know why ownership counts? Why You Should Own Your Content (Not Rent It)
Below, we'll walk through each editor and show you what makes them different.
Three post editors for an intuitive writing experience.
Say goodbye to clunky, unwieldy editors; Publii offers three unique editors to meet your needs. Though each editor is different, they have one thing in common; they're all intuitive, responsive, and easy-to-use.
Block editor
The block editor cleanly separates each content type into its own section, enabling smooth reordering and expressive content without cluttering the interface with buttons and notifications.

Stats
Analyze Your Writing
WYSIWYG editor includes real-time stat tracking, letting you see helpful stats at a glance. Keep an eye on your unique word, sentence, and paragraph counts, and get an estimated reading time to help you find the sweet spot in your content length to keep your site visitors enthralled.
Media
Rich Media
Give life to your sections and stories with the rich media options included with our editors. Add image galleries and videos, get technical with the code highlighter, insert downloadable files and tables, and make use of the text highlighter to draw attention to important information.
Structure content
Organize Your Thoughts
Every post is a thought, and it shouldn't be confined to a simple category. Publii's Tags and Authors system allows you to organize your content through keywords; add as many as you want to each post, and users will be able to browse each keyword to find relevant sections to suit their mood.
Migration
Switching from WordPress? Migrate in minutes
You can create a blog from scratch, or switch your existing WordPress site without losing the audience you've built up; with Publii's built-in WP Importer, transferring your posts, pages and categories over takes just a few minutes.
