A Tiptap document is the fundamental unit of content in your application. Each document exists as a distinct object with its own content, metadata, and versioning.
Documents are securely hosted in the Tiptap Cloud to enable real-time collaboration, AI-powered editing, and structured server-side manipulation via Tiptap’s REST API.
You can import and export common file formats (such as DOCX, Markdown, etc.) into and out of your Tiptap documents.
Tip: If you prefer full control over your data and documents, Tiptap also supports an Enterprise on-premise solution. This option lets you host documents entirely within your own infrastructure without any document limits.
Key Features of Documents
- Rich text, formatting, multimedia references, and comments.
- Versioning, comments, and collaboration history are stored within document metadata.
- Integrates easily with existing workflows for server-side or frontend manipulation.
How are documents counted
- Create as many local documents as you like. As long as you don’t upload them to the Tiptap Document server, they won’t count toward any limit.
- Once you sync a document to the Tiptap Cloud (to enable Collaboration, comments, version history, and so on), it counts once. That’s regardless of future edits.
- Delete a cloud document to free its slot permanently with the REST API.
- Buy additional bundles at any time to raise the limit without changing plans.
Tiptap counts a document after you save it in the Tiptap Cloud, whether it’s a draft or a final version. If you import a DOCX or PDF, you incur one count only after converting and saving that file to your document server.
- Edits or revisions do not increase your document count because changes are tracked within the same document.
- Multiple collaborators editing the same document simultaneously have no impact on the document count.
- Deleting a document immediately removes it from your count. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
Warning: Once you delete a document, you cannot recover it. Back them up first with the REST API or Webhook.
What does not increase your limit
Some of Tiptap’s features and common usage patterns do not create new documents. Here are a few scenarios that do not increment your overall count:
- Integrating the Editor without Collaboration: You can embed Tiptap’s Editor in your application for local or front-end use without creating any Tiptap Cloud documents. As long as you don’t store documents in the Tiptap Cloud, your count remains unchanged.
- Using Content AI without Collaboration: Content AI features, such as autocomplete or content generation, do not require collaboration. If you don’t create new documents or store your AI-generated content in the Tiptap Cloud, you avoid increasing your document total.
- Importing other file formats: You can import any number of files in formats like DOCX or MD. This action alone doesn’t raise your count. You only add to the count once you save them as Tiptap documents in the Tiptap Cloud.
- Comments and Revisions: Comments and revisions live in the document’s metadata. They never raise your document count, but you must sync the document to the Tiptap Cloud to use them.
Document-Based Pricing
Tiptap’s pricing model is tied to document count. Each plan includes a base number of documents:
- Start Plan: First 500 documents.
- Team Plan: 5,000 documents.
- Growth Plan: 50,000 documents.
You can purchase additional bundles of documents as needed.
