Pinegrow is a desktop web editor that helps you build responsive websites faster through live multi-page editing, visual CSS styling, and smart components for Bootstrap, Foundation, AngularJS, and WordPress projects. It is designed for developers who want speed without sacrificing full control over their code.
Pinegrow Web Editor works directly with standard HTML files and includes advanced tools such as simultaneous multi-page editing, a complete set of Bootstrap and Foundation components, CSS styling with LESS support, and a built-in stylesheet manager. New and practical features continue to expand its capabilities over time.
The editor does not add abstraction layers on top of HTML or CSS. Instead, it helps you work more efficiently using visual tools or direct code editing. As a standalone desktop application, it integrates smoothly into professional web development workflows and avoids limitations often found in cloud-based editors.
You can edit page content visually, move elements freely, and double-click any element to update text instantly. Pinegrow can even function as a lightweight CMS for static HTML pages, making content updates simple and fast.
Pinegrow automatically restructures HTML code when you change element properties. For example, switching a form layout from standard to horizontal requires just one click, saving time while keeping code clean and readable.
You can experiment with layouts by opening mirrored page copies and testing design variations in real time. The stylesheet manager lets you duplicate, attach, or detach stylesheets while previewing changes across multiple screen sizes using CSS variables.
Pinegrow lets you open online template demos and customize them instantly with your own images and content. This makes it easy to evaluate templates quickly and decide whether they fit your project before committing to a final design.

Pinegrow Web Editor – Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| ✓ Combines visual editing with direct HTML and CSS code editing, keeping changes synchronized between the visual interface and source code. | ✗ The combination of visual controls, direct code editing, CSS management, responsive tools, frameworks, and WordPress features creates a relatively feature-dense workflow that may require familiarity with web development concepts. |
| ✓ Supports live, multi-page editing with mirrored pages, adjustable zoom levels, and different device sizes for responsive design work. | ✗ Several advanced capabilities are tied to specific technologies such as Bootstrap, Foundation, AngularJS, WordPress, PHP, and Tailwind, which may add setup considerations for projects outside those ecosystems. |
| ✓ Includes support for Bootstrap, Foundation, AngularJS, 960 Grid, and plain HTML components that can be customized through visual controls. | ✗ The PRO edition is required for features such as Projects, Master pages, Partials, and Smart components, so those tools are not part of the standard editor. |
| ✓ Provides dedicated responsive-development tools, including a Media Query Helper, custom breakpoints, CSS variables, and multi-device editing. | ✗ The editor works directly with local HTML files and can edit remote pages, but the documented workflow still relies on external code editors, source control, package managers, and deployment tools for broader development tasks. |
| ✓ Can build WordPress themes from HTML pages and supports PHP HTML templates, while also working alongside code editors, source control, package managers, and deployment tools. | ✗ The supplied downloads cover Windows 64-bit, macOS Intel/Apple Silicon, and Linux x64, while the separate 32-bit Windows download is an older release, limiting the documented availability of a current 32-bit build. |
