  • High-performance PHP template engine
  • Powerful chainable PHP API
  • Combine data from everywhere on your site
  • Built-in image manipulation
  • Replaceable template engine (bring your own engine)

  • Any content you like

    Organize content your way. Every page type or data entry can have the completely unique data structure that your project demands.

  • Internationalization

    Multi-language support is baked right into the core, so you don’t depend on plugins or frameworks to translate your site.

  • Asset management

    Kirby stores media files in the same folder as the page content, not in a giant media library. Never lose track of pictures or other items again.

  • Markdown & KirbyText

    Enjoy a fast and effective editing experience with Markdown. KirbyText extends Markdown and makes it even easier to add links, images, videos and more to your text.

  • Built-in REST API

    Use Kirby as a headless CMS with the full power of the Panel in the background. This makes Kirby the perfect companion for your SPAs or mobile applications.

  • Version control

    As Kirby is a file-based CMS, you can version control all content with Git or any other VCS. Deployments, backups and synchronization of multiple stages are a breeze.

  • Bring your own data sources

    While files and folders are Kirby’s primary data source, you can generate pages from databases, REST APIs or even Excel sheets if that’s your thing.

  • Custom publishing workflows

    Customizable page states give you maximum control over your workflow, from drafts over unreviewed to published pages. Choose what you need and start creating.

  • Vue UI Kit

    Kirby’s Panel is powered by Vue. Use the full power of Vue or our Vue UI component kit to make the admin interface truly yours.
