A cross-platform native runtime for web apps. Capacitor is an open-source native runtime for building web native apps. Create cross-platform iOS, Android, and progressive web apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Drop Capacitor into any existing web app. Install the native platforms you want to target. Capacitor’s native plugin APIs make it extremely easy to access and invoke common device functionality across multiple platforms. Ship cross-platform mobile apps 10X faster. We wrote a free guide on when and why to use Capacitor to build cross-platform apps. Access the full Native SDKs on each platform, and easily deploy to the app stores (and the web). Add custom native functionality with a simple Plugin API, or use existing Cordova plugins with our compatibility layer. Capture images, save photos, and configure hardware parameters like saturation and color balance. Save and read documents, assets, and other content your users need to access via native file systems.
