App Stores and Chromebooks
You can download LibreOffice for free directly from our website, for Windows, macOS and Linux, and install it yourself. However, if you’d like to get it through the Microsoft Store or Mac App Store, you can do it here:
These versions are free software (as in open source) but there’s a small charge to cover the effort of putting software in the app stores, and to help develop the software (and build our communities).
Chromebooks
You can get a LibreOffice-based app for Chromebooks from our certified developers and ecosystem members:
Development versions
Release Candidates
These are pre-release versions and are not recommended for production use. Are you interested in helping out? Please read the release notes and visit our testing page.
- 7.6.7 RC builds are in release configuration and will replace your existing LibreOffice installation!
- 24.2.4 RC builds are in release configuration and will replace your existing LibreOffice installation!
You may want to use parallel installation to prevent that, and still be able to test and work with this version.

LibreOffice via Chocolatey
Download LibreOffice from Chocolatey.
LibreOffice in Flatpak format
Flatpak is a way of distributing images of Linux applications that run on a wide range of different distros, and run there in a secure way.
Flatpak builds of LibreOffice Latest are provided on Flathub (direct link to download org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.flatpakref).
A few items to note:
-
The LibreOffice Flatpak is using LibreOffice’s GTK3 backend, which should offer the most complete set of features in LibreOffice, including support for Wayland.
-
Localization data is offloaded to an org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.Locale extension. Installation of it should be handled transparently by the Flatpak infrastructure.
-
Help content is available as an org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.Help extension. You probably need to install it manually. (And, at least for now, it contains help content for all localizations, so is rather large.)
-
At this time, there is no Flatpak version of the LibreOffice Software Development Kit (SDK).
-
Bugs only appearing in the Flatpak version should be reported to Flathub.
LibreOffice as Snap
Snaps are fast to install, easy to create, safe to run, and they update automatically and transactionally so the application is always fresh and never broken. They aim to work on any distribution or device, from IoT devices to servers, desktops to mobile devices.
Installing LibreOffice from the store
Current versions of LibreOffice are available in the Snap store as 64-bit versions.
You can install the LibreOffice snap by visiting:
https://snapcraft.io/libreoffice
Or install from the command line:
sudo snap install libreoffice
If you are missing the snap command you might need to install snapd first.
Running the LibreOffice version installed as snap
After installing, the version of LibreOffice installed via snap can be found in the Application menu.
Alternatively, it can be started with the command:
/snap/bin/libreoffice
Omitting the full path likely starts the version of LibreOffice installed by the distribution instead, if there is one.
More details on snap and the LibreOffice snap package
More details on snap and the LibreOffice snap package are available on the snap homepage and on the linked blog entry.
Note that bugs only appearing in the Snap version should be reported to Ubuntu’s Launchpad.
LibreOffice as AppImage
AppImage is a portable application format for Linux that allows users to run applications on rolling (e.g. Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed) and stable (e.g. Ubuntu LTS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux) Linux distributions very easily, without the need for installation or worry of dependencies. AppImages bundle all the files needed for an application to run (e.g. libraries, translations, icons, fonts) that may not already be present on a user’s system.
LibreOffice AppImage is a portable version of LibreOffice for Linux that can be run from any location (e.g. local drive, USB, CD, network share) on all popular Linux distributions, including their live CDs. LibreOffice AppImage is available in three versions - Basic, Standard, and Full - which support a different set of languages.
The Basic version includes support for the default language, English (US).
The Standard version includes support for English (US and GB), Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian and Portugal), Russian, and Spanish.
The Full version includes all languages supported by LibreOffice.

Notes
-
LibreOffice AppImages repackage the same binary files found in the .tar.gz files that are distributed on the main download page, through a build script hosted on LibreItalia’s version control system.
-
LibreOffice AppImages will run on the distributions that will run an installed version of LibreOffice, but expect the user’s system to have some libraries that aren’t bundled with the AppImage, like Java (used in Base) and GStreamer (used in Impress).
-
LibreOffice AppImages were tested and run on these old versions of stable distributions and their newer versions - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Debian 6, Fedora 12, openSUSE 11.3, Mageia 2, PCLinuxOS 2013.07.15, Puppy 6, Salix 13.37 (Slackware), CentOS 6
-
LibreOffice AppImages were tested and run on these rolling distributions - Solus, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Arch Linux, Gentoo Linux, Tails
-
LibreOffice AppImages uses their own user profile folder, so they won’t conflict with the user profile of an installed version of LibreOffice on your system.
-
LibreOffice AppImages are currently only available as 64-bit executables, so they will only run on 64-bit Linux distributions.
-
AppImages require FUSE to run. If your system does not have a working FUSE setup, you can still extract the contents of the AppImages using the --appimage-extract option.
-
AppImages aren’t sandboxed, so if you’ll like to run them that way, please read this guide to sandbox with firejail.
LibreOffice Online
Note: The LibreOffice Online repository at TDF is temporarily frozen. Updates on this will be published on our blog and on our website.
What is it?
LibreOffice Online is a server service built from the main LibreOffice project code, which provides display and collaborative visual editing of a range of document types in a web browser. It does not include any form of file system. To be fully functional, it has to be integrated with file access and authentication provision from an underlying stack of software.
For anything more than casual use it also needs to be deployed with due consideration for load balancing and other scaling issues. As such, LibreOffice Online can be considered an enabling technology for the public cloud of ISPs or the private cloud of enterprises and large organizations, when integrated - for example - with an enterprise file sharing or a groupware solution.
Why not provide a hosted service?
The Document Foundation is not planning to develop and fund a cloud solution similar to existing products from Google and Microsoft, because this would require selection and integration of the other technologies needed for deployment - file sharing, authentication, load balancing and so on - which for desktop LibreOffice is part of the operating system provided by the user. This would be a significant growth of scope and not in line with the original mission of the project. The task is therefore left to large deployers, ISPs and providers of open source cloud solutions, and several options are already available on the market. TDF would welcome provision of a public LibreOffice Online offering by another charity.
Why is this un-supported?
TDF does not offer end-user support for any of the projects it hosts. End-user collaborative self-help is available at ask.libreoffice.org.
Since LibreOffice Online requires integration with many other technologies to allow deployment, The Document Foundation will not be maintaining binaries for enterprise use. Even if it were reasonable to pre-select all the elements of a deployment stack, providing enterprise production binaries would create expectations which could not be fulfilled by volunteer-based support.
However, builds of the latest code suitable for home users and for contributing to development - which is encouraged - are available. TDF is keen to avoid situations where an unsuitable version is deployed at scale, so when used in what would be likely to imply an enterprise situation - more than 10 concurrent documents and/or more than 20 connections - LibreOffice Online will display a prominent “not supported” warning and a link to this page, while continuing to function.
We encourage others providing un-supported binaries derived from LibreOffice to follow this pattern.
How can I get support and help fund development?
The Document Foundation suggests that all large-scale deployers of LibreOffice use certified developers either directly or via a commercial provider who employs them. This is especially important for LibreOffice Online where your business plays an important role paying for the further development of the software.
Please do not attempt a public or enterprise production deployment of LibreOffice Online without professional support. As explained above, it is not intended for direct production deployment.
Can I use this for free?
Absolutely, LibreOffice Online is Open Source Free software, just download and use it, inspect, study, share, modify and contribute back to the project. Just be aware that the version you have downloaded is designed for personal and/or development use so there is an un-supported notification displayed when you exceed to 10 concurrent documents and 20 connections.
How can I compile a version without this warning?
LibreOffice is Open Source Free software and you are entitled to make whatever changes you wish to the source code. Each version of LibreOffice Online has a Help/About page with the Git hash of the source code it is built from and a link to clone that source. Please bear in mind that if you remove such support statements from the code you may need to change the name of the project, especially if you intend to make it available outside your organisation - check out our trademark guidelines. This also serves to make it clear that you are committing to support the version you have created.
