Meet your new best friends, Blocks

Blocks are a great new tool for building engaging content. With blocks, you can insert, rearrange, and style multimedia content with very little technical knowledge. Instead of using custom code, you can add a block and focus on your content.

Without being an expert developer, you can build your own custom posts and pages. Here’s a selection of the default blocks included with Gutenberg:

Paragraph
Heading
Subheading
Quote
Image
Gallery
Cover Image
Video
Audio
Columns
File
Code
List
Button
Embeds
More

Be your own builder

A single block is nice—reliable, clear, distinct. Discover the flexibility to use media and content, side by side, driven by your vision.

Gutenberg ❤️ Developers

Built with modern technology.

Gutenberg was developed on GitHub using the WordPress REST API, JavaScript, and React.

Designed for compatibility.

We recommend migrating features to blocks, but support for existing WordPress functionality remains. There will be transition paths for shortcodes, meta-boxes, and Custom Post Types.

The editor is just the beginning

Gutenberg is more than an editor. It’s also the foundation that’ll revolutionize customization and site building in WordPress.

"This will make running your own blog a viable alternative again."
— Adrian Zumbrunnen

"The web up until this point has been confined to some sort of rectangular screen. But that is not how it’s going to be. Gutenberg has the potential of moving us into the next time."
— Morten Rand-Hendriksen

"The Gutenberg editor has some great assets that could genuinely help people to write better texts."
— Marieke van de Rakt
