CKEditor 5 Plugins

For CKEditor 5 the default integration of pictures is still Jahia’s default .

In addition to that default one, the Bynder Picker for Jahia includes a dedicated CKEditor 5 plugin that brings Bynder asset management directly into rich text fields. Editors can insert Pictures, Videos, Audio, and Documents from their Bynder library without leaving the rich text editing experience.

Once a field is configured as rich text, the CKEditor 5 toolbar exposes a Bynder dropdown. Selecting it opens the same Bynder DAM asset picker (Universal Compact View) used across the rest of the module, so editors get a consistent experience whether they are filling a structured field or writing free-form content.

Supported asset types in rich text

Asset type	Supported in RTE	Notes
Picture	Yes	Insert and apply Dynamic Asset Transformation presets at insertion time
Video	Yes	Embeds a playable video reference sourced from Bynder
Audio	Yes	Embeds a native audio player (appearance can be customized on demand)
Document	Yes	Inserts a linked reference to the Bynder-hosted file

All inserted assets remain references to Bynder, not copies. Files continue to be served from the Bynder CDN, so nothing is duplicated into Jahia’s JCR storage, consistent with the module’s core architecture.

Applying transformations in rich text

When inserting a picture through the rich text picker, editors can still choose a Dynamic Asset Transformation preset or derivative before confirming the insertion, exactly as with the standalone Picture picker. This keeps brand-approved renditions consistent regardless of whether the asset lands in a structured field or inside a text block.

How to use it

1. Edit a component containing a rich text field in Jahia’s content editor.
2. Place the cursor where the asset should appear.
3. Select the Bynder button in the CKEditor 5 toolbar.
4. choose what type of asset you want to include.
5. Browse, search, or filter using the integrated Bynder picker, then choose the asset.
6. For pictures, optionally select a transformation preset before inserting.
7. Save the component.
