Visual Composition for the AI-Built Web

Edit your AI-generated web pages without burning tokens.

Camille is a free, browser-based WYSIWYG HTML editor for any HTML file — including pages built by Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI tools.

Two reasons to keep it open: it's the human touch on AI work (the last 10% that takes a page from "good draft" to "actually finished"), and direct manipulation beats prompting when explaining a change to AI takes longer than just making it.

The Problem

The AI built your page. Now what?

AI tools generate beautiful HTML in seconds. The trouble starts the moment you want to change a single headline, swap a logo, or fix something else. You have three bad options.

$

Burn tokens to regenerate

Re-prompting your AI to "just change the headline" risks a redesigned page, lost layout, and a noticeably bigger bill at the end of the month.

Edit raw code by hand

If you don't write HTML and CSS, hunting for the right tag in a wall of code is slow, error-prone, and a great way to break something you can't unbreak.

Hunt for a dead editor

BlueGriffon. Microsoft Expression Web. KompoZer. The free desktop WYSIWYG editors you used to rely on are abandoned, and their installers now live on sketchy download sites.

What Camille Does

A visual editor for any HTML file you can throw at it.

?

Opens any HTML file

Full pages, fragments, content blocks copied out of Custom HTML elements, AI-generated landing pages, old static sites — Camille handles them all.

?

Visual + code, side-by-side

Page view for clicking around. Source view with syntax highlighting for direct edits. Split view shows both with two-way live sync.

?

Image controls built in

Resize with a handle, set width, align left/center/right/inline, swap the URL, edit alt text — all from a hovering toolbar.

?

Element styles panel

Change background colors, text colors, opacity, and background images visually. Auto-extracts the page's color palette so brand colors are one click away.

?

Saves directly to disk

Uses the modern File System Access API. Save and Save As work just like a desktop app — no downloads folder roulette.

?

Local-first & private

Your files never leave your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server. There is no account, no analytics on your content, nothing to log in to.

Page-wide typography in one place

Master Headline and Content fonts. Forty curated Google Fonts each previewed in their own typeface. Round-trip your type system as CSS, JSON, or a natural-language brief for prompting your AI.

Paste a URL, the media lands at your cursor. Auto-detects YouTube, Vimeo, Rumble, HighLevel-hosted, and direct MP4. Image properties: alt, alignment, size, caption, drop shadow, rounded corners.

How It Compares

Camille vs. the alternatives.

Most options for editing a one-off HTML file in 2026 are either dead, expensive, or designed to lock you into a hosted platform.

* A note on the rightmost column. Older WYSIWYG editors and TinyMCE-based tools were designed for a document-style HTML — they normalize pasted markup against an internal schema, which strips or rewrites the inline styles, utility classes, and structural patterns that today's AI-generated pages rely on for their layout. Tools labeled byte-preserving leave whatever you opened intact except for the specific edits you made. Tools that rewrite your markup make a different file than the one you started with.

Tool Status Price Install Required Edits Standalone HTML Preserves your markup * Lock-in
Camille Active Free No (browser) Yes — opens local files Yes — byte-preserves everything you didn't touch None
BlueGriffon Effectively abandoned (last release ~2018) Free Yes (desktop) Yes Partially — pre-modern era; modern CSS features aren't part of its model None
Microsoft Expression Web Discontinued (2012) Free Yes (Windows) Yes No — pre-HTML5, pre-flexbox; normalizes against a 2006-era schema None
KompoZer / Nvu Dead (10+ years) Free Yes (desktop) Yes No — predates modern CSS entirely None
Adobe Dreamweaver Active $22.99/mo (Creative Cloud) Yes (desktop) Yes Mostly — Code view preserves; Design view applies its own content rules None
Pinegrow Active $99+ one-time Yes (desktop) Yes Yes — byte-preserving None
wysiwyghtml.com Active Free (ad-supported) No (browser) Paste only — no file open No — TinyMCE rewrites pasted markup; "Clean" strips inline styles and classes None
Webflow / Wix / Squarespace Active Monthly subscription No (hosted) No (platform-bound) N/A — you don't bring HTML in High
Re-prompt the AI Active Tokens per edit No No — regenerates rather than edits N/A — produces new markup each prompt Risk: layout drift
Who It's For

Built for the people the AI handed an HTML file to — and for the stacks that already have enough subscriptions.

Solopreneurs & small businesses

You used Claude or ChatGPT to spin up a landing page. Now you need to fix the price, swap a photo, and ship — without learning HTML.

Agencies & freelancers

Your client wants three small changes to last week's deliverable. Open the file, edit visually, send it back. No regeneration, no scope creep.

HighLevel users

Copy the HTML out of a HighLevel Custom HTML block, edit it visually in Camille, paste it back. Camille's Wide preview shows content blocks edge-to-edge the way HighLevel renders them. Built for the Custom HTML element workflow — not for editing full HighLevel-built pages, which carry the CMS's own builder scaffolding. Slots into your existing stack with no new subscription, no new account, no new monthly bill.

Marketers & creators

You don't write code. You shouldn't have to. Click. Type. Save. Move on with your day.

Anyone with an old static site

That hand-built HTML page from 2014 still works fine. Open it in Camille, refresh the copy, and keep it running for another decade.

Refugees from BlueGriffon

If you used to rely on a free desktop WYSIWYG editor, Camille is the modern, browser-based replacement that doesn't need an installer or a download mirror.

Why We Built It

A quiet eulogy for the free WYSIWYG editor.

For years, BlueGriffon was the answer. It wasn't pretty, but it was honest: it opened any HTML file, let you edit it visually, and saved it back to disk. No subscription, no platform.

Then, somewhere around 2018, BlueGriffon quietly stopped getting updates. Microsoft Expression Web had already been retired years earlier. KompoZer had been gone for a decade. The category just… emptied out.

The moment that finally tipped us into building Camille came after a fresh OS install, when the BlueGriffon installer was nowhere to be found on any source we trusted. The only links left pointed to ad-bloated download aggregators that no reasonable person should run an .exe from.

Meanwhile, AI tools were generating more standalone HTML pages every day than the rest of the web had managed in years — and there was nothing modern, free, and browser-based to edit them with.

So we built it. Camille is the editor we wanted to exist. It is free, it runs in your browser, it never uploads your files, and it is actively maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you (or your AI) might want to know.

What is Camille?

Camille is a free, browser-based WYSIWYG HTML editor that lets you visually edit any HTML file, including pages generated by AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. It runs entirely in your browser, requires no install or signup, and never uploads your files to a server.

Is Camille free?

Yes. Camille is completely free to use. There is no subscription, no trial, no signup, and no paid tier. It is provided by SYP Media LLC.

Do I need to install Camille or create an account?

No. Camille runs entirely in your web browser. There is nothing to download, no installer to run, and no account to create. Open the page and start editing.

Does Camille upload my files anywhere?

No. Camille is local-first. Your HTML files are opened, edited, and saved entirely within your browser using the File System Access API. Nothing is uploaded to any server, and SYP Media has no access to your content.

Can I edit a webpage that Claude or ChatGPT built for me?

Yes. That is exactly what Camille is built for. Save the HTML file the AI produced, open it in Camille, and edit text, images, colors, and layout visually without touching code.

How do I edit AI-generated HTML without regenerating it?

Open the HTML file in Camille. Click any element to edit it visually. Save the file back to disk. You avoid burning AI tokens to regenerate the entire page just to change a headline or swap an image.

What happened to BlueGriffon?

BlueGriffon is no longer actively developed. Its last meaningful release was around 2018, and installer files have become difficult to find from trustworthy sources. Camille is built as a modern, browser-based replacement that does not require an installer.

What is a good free replacement for BlueGriffon in 2026?

Camille is a free, browser-based replacement for BlueGriffon. It opens any HTML file, provides a visual editor with a code view, requires no installation, and is actively maintained by SYP Media LLC.

What is a good replacement for Microsoft Expression Web?

Microsoft Expression Web was discontinued in 2012. Camille is a modern, free, browser-based alternative that opens any HTML file and edits it visually without requiring Windows or any installation.

Is there a free alternative to Adobe Dreamweaver?

Yes. Camille is a free WYSIWYG HTML editor that runs in your browser. It does not include every Dreamweaver feature, but for visually editing existing HTML files it requires no Creative Cloud subscription and no installation.

Can I use Camille offline?

Camille loads in your browser and then runs locally. After it has loaded, editing and saving work without an active internet connection in most modern browsers.

Does Camille work with HighLevel?

Camille works with HighLevel via the Custom HTML element workflow. The typical loop is: copy the HTML out of a Custom HTML block inside HighLevel, paste it into Camille, edit it visually, then copy the result back into the same Custom HTML element in HighLevel. Camille's Wide preview shows fragment-style content blocks edge-to-edge the way HighLevel renders them. Camille is not designed to edit full HighLevel-built landing pages directly, because those pages carry HighLevel's own builder metadata that the CMS expects to remain intact in order to round-trip.

Do I need to know HTML to use Camille?

No. Camille's visual editor lets you click on text, images, and elements to change them directly. A separate code view is available for users who want to edit HTML directly, but it is optional.

Can I edit images, colors, and backgrounds visually in Camille?

Yes. Camille includes an image toolbar (resize, alignment, alt text, URL editing) and an Element Styles panel for changing background colors, text colors, opacity, and background images visually.

Who built Camille?

Camille is built and maintained by SYP Media LLC. It was created out of frustration with the disappearance of free, trustworthy desktop WYSIWYG HTML editors like BlueGriffon and Microsoft Expression Web.

What browsers does Camille support?

Camille works in any modern browser. For full Save and Save As support via the File System Access API, use a Chromium-based browser such as Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, or Opera.

How is Camille different from Webflow, Wix, or Squarespace?

Webflow, Wix, and Squarespace are hosted site builders that lock your content into their platform. Camille is a file editor: it opens any standalone HTML file you already have, edits it visually, and saves it back to your computer. There is no platform lock-in and no monthly fee.

How is Camille different from online HTML editors like wysiwyghtml.com?

Most free online HTML editors, including wysiwyghtml.com, are built on TinyMCE or similar libraries that normalize pasted HTML against their own internal schema. They typically have no way to open a local .html file directly (paste only), and they rewrite your markup — stripping or altering inline styles, classes, and structural tags that AI-generated pages rely on for their layout. Camille opens your local HTML file via the File System Access API, preserves your markup as written, and saves the file back to disk unchanged except for the edits you made.

Can I manage page metadata and SEO in Camille?

Yes. Camille's Metadata panel lets you set the page title, description, hero/cover image, canonical URL, author, robots directive, and keywords. From those inputs Camille emits standard meta, Open Graph, and Twitter Card tags into the page head. An inline social-share preview card shows how the link will render when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, or iMessage.

Does Camille support JSON-LD schema markup for rich results?

Yes. Camille detects existing JSON-LD schema blocks on the page and lets you view, edit, toggle, or remove them. Four ready-to-fill templates — Article, Organization, FAQPage, and LocalBusiness — let you add new schema with placeholder values you complete. A "send to AI" button copies your schema plus a prompt to the clipboard so you can finish it off with Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. An external link launches Google's Rich Results Test.

Can Camille install Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and other tracking codes?

Yes. The Tracking Codes panel covers eight built-in tracker types: Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, HighLevel External Tracking, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar. Pick a platform, paste your ID, and Camille drops in the canonical vendor snippet. Camille also detects existing trackers already on the page and lets you edit their IDs in place — without disturbing any custom code you've added inside the snippet.

Can I export my typography to reuse on another page?

Yes. Camille's Type Styles panel exports your full type system as a portable spec in three formats: CSS (drop-in stylesheet with :root custom properties), JSON (structured for programmatic AI tools like Cursor, v0, Lovable), or a natural-language brief you can paste into a prompt. Import the same spec back into Camille on another page to apply identical typography. Round-trip works for CSS and JSON; the brief is export-only.

How do I insert images and videos?

The Media panel takes a URL — paste it, click Insert, and the media lands at your cursor. Videos auto-detect across YouTube, Vimeo, Rumble, HighLevel-hosted, and direct MP4/WebM. Once inserted, click any image to edit its alt text, alignment, width/height, link wrap, caption, drop shadow, and rounded corners. Click a video to edit its source URL, alignment, and size.

Will Camille round-trip my WordPress or Webflow page?

Not in a way the CMS would preserve. Camille is built for standalone, AI-generated HTML — clean, semantic, self-contained markup. CMS-instrumented markup (WordPress with Gutenberg block comments, HighLevel's data-* attribute scaffolding, Webflow's exported class soup) won't round-trip cleanly into the builder, even though Camille can open and visually edit the markup. By design, not a limitation. Use Camille on standalone HTML or on the Custom HTML block content that you copy in and out of those CMSes — not on the full CMS-managed pages themselves.

Open Camille and stop fighting your AI's HTML.
