Operating systems and processor architectures

LibreOffice is cross-platform software. The Document Foundation officially supports Linux, macOS and Windows.²³ ²⁴ Additional ports exist for other operating systems and processor architectures, maintained by commercial vendors such as Collabora or by community members, as is the case for BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD) and OpenIndiana.²⁵ ²⁶ ²⁷ ²⁸

Earlier versions of LibreOffice and its predecessors, including StarOffice, supported platforms such as Solaris on SPARC hardware, though these are no longer maintained.

LibreOffice development has also expanded to mobile platforms. TDF offers two mobile apps: Impress Remote for Android, iOS and iPadOS, which allows users to control presentations remotely, and a document viewer for Android.²⁹ ³⁰ Collabora provides officially supported mobile apps with editing capabilities for Android, iOS, and iPadOS, under the Collabora Office brand.³¹

Notes

LibreOffice Online

LibreOffice Online is the web-based version of the LibreOffice office suite, allowing users to view and edit documents through a web browser using the HTML5 <canvas> element.³⁵ Development began in 2011, with contributions from Collabora and IceWarp.³⁶ ³⁷ A preview of the software was demonstrated in 2015,³⁸ and in December 2015, Collabora and ownCloud released a technical preview called Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE).³⁹ The first source code release of LibreOffice Online occurred alongside LibreOffice version 5.3 in February 2017.⁴⁰ ⁴¹

The Document Foundation does not plan to offer a hosted cloud solution similar to commercial offerings like Google Docs or Microsoft 365, due to the prohibitively high cost of running the platform. Therefore the task has been left to third-party ecosystem partners and cloud providers, like Collabora and CIB. The first enterprise version, Collabora Online 1.0, was released in July 2016.⁴² In the same month, Nextcloud partnered with Collabora to integrate CODE for its users.⁴³ In 2019, CIB announced that it would offer a version, branded as "LibreOffice Online powered by CIB".⁴⁴ TDF has expressed openness to a public LibreOffice Online service provided by a charitable organization.⁴⁵ ⁴⁶

Supported file formats

LibreOffice uses the OpenDocument Format (ODF) as its default file format, an international standard developed by the ISO and IEC. It can also open and save files in other formats, including those used by Microsoft Office, through a variety of import and export filters.⁴⁷ LibreOffice also supports exporting to PDF, including "hybrid PDFs" that embed an editable ODF file within a standard PDF.⁴⁸

User interface and customization

The suite offers several user interface modes, including a traditional menu and toolbar layout as well as a "Notebookbar" option that mimics the ribbon interface found in Microsoft Office.¹⁰⁴ LibreOffice includes multiple icon themes to adapt its look and feel to that of its desktop environment, such as Colibre for Windows and Elementary for GNOME, and integrates with native UI frameworks like GTK on Linux for consistent appearance.¹⁰⁵

LibreOffice supports a range of advanced typographic features through its use of OpenType, Graphite, and Apple Advanced Typography font technologies.¹⁰⁶ Text rendering on Linux systems uses the Cairo graphics library, and complex text layout is handled by the HarfBuzz engine.¹⁰⁷ ¹⁰⁸ On Linux, support for multimedia in presentations, such as audio and video playback, is provided via the GStreamer framework.

LibreOffice supports several scripting and programming languages, including LibreOffice Basic, Python, Java, and C++, which can be used to create macros or integrate with external applications.¹⁰⁹ LibreOffice Basic, which is similar to Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), is used primarily for automating tasks within Writer, Calc, and Base.¹¹⁰

Licensing

LibreOffice is licensed under a dual LGPLv3 (or later) and MPL 2.0 model, which allows flexibility for future license upgrades.¹¹¹ The project continues efforts to rebase legacy code inherited from OpenOffice.org to ensure licensing compatibility.¹¹²

History

A timeline of major derivatives of StarOffice and OpenOffice.org with LibreOffice in green

Background

From the inception of the OpenOffice.org project in 2000, Sun Microsystems indicated that the project would eventually be managed by an independent foundation.¹¹³ ¹¹⁴ However community members frequently expressed concerns over the Sun's control of the project, especially as the company's involvement diminished over time,¹¹⁵ and was slow to accept patches or external contributions, even from corporate partners.¹¹⁶ ¹¹⁷

To address some of these challenges, Ximian, and later Novell, maintained a patch set called ooo-build, led by developer Michael Meeks. Its goal was to simplify building OpenOffice.org on Linux and to incorporate community-submitted improvements that had not been accepted upstream by Sun.¹¹⁸ Most Linux distributions used ooo-build as the default method for packaging OpenOffice.org,¹¹⁹ and some distributions contributed directly to its development.¹²⁰

In 2007, Novell released ooo-build as a separate product called Go-oo.¹²¹ Go-oo featured enhancements not present in the main OpenOffice.org distribution and adopted more inclusive contribution policies. These changes foreshadowed those later implemented by LibreOffice.¹²²

In early 2010, Sun was acquired by Oracle Corporation. This raised new concerns among contributors, who were wary of Oracle's broader stance on open source projects, including its lawsuit against Google over Java,¹²³ its apparent withdrawal of developers from OpenOffice.org,¹²⁴ ¹²⁵ and the restrictions it placed on another open source project from Sun, the OpenSolaris operating system.¹²⁶ ¹²⁷ ¹²⁸ ¹²⁹

This prompted growing discussions about forking the project.¹³⁰

The Document Foundation and LibreOffice

On 28 September 2010, members of the OpenOffice.org community announced the formation of The Document Foundation (TDF), an independent organization to continue the development of OpenOffice.org under a more open and inclusive governance model.¹³¹ Alongside the announcement, TDF introduced a fork of OpenOffice.org named LibreOffice.

TDF invited Oracle Corporation, then the steward of OpenOffice.org, to participate in the new foundation and donate the OpenOffice.org trademark. Oracle declined, leading TDF to adopt the LibreOffice name permanently.¹³² Major contributors to OpenOffice.org, including Novell, Red Hat, Canonical, and Google, shifted their support to the new project.¹³³

In April 2011, Oracle announced it would discontinue commercial development of OpenOffice.org and transition the project to a community-based model.¹³⁴ Two months later, Oracle donated the codebase and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), where the project was renamed Apache OpenOffice.¹³⁵

Meanwhile, LibreOffice continued to develop rapidly under the stewardship of TDF. It incorporated features from Go-oo and other community-maintained patches, and became the default office suite in many Linux distributions, while also expanding its presence on Windows and macOS.¹³⁶ LibreOffice receives regular updates, including new features and security fixes. According to TDF, most development is performed by ecosystem partners such as Collabora, who provide enterprise support and services around LibreOffice.¹³⁷

This commercial support model has contributed to higher development activity compared to Apache OpenOffice,¹³⁸ which has struggled since 2015 to attract and retain contributors, and to issue timely security updates.¹³⁹ ¹⁴⁰ ¹⁴¹

In a 2011 interview with LWN.net, Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth expressed criticism of TDF, asserting that its refusal to adopt Oracle's Contributor License Agreement had undermined the OpenOffice.org project.¹⁴² In response, former Sun Microsystems executive Simon Phipps argued that Oracle's decision to end development was a business move unrelated to LibreOffice's creation.¹⁴³ LibreOffice is now widely regarded as the most actively maintained and widely used successor to OpenOffice.org.¹⁴⁴ ¹⁴⁵

Versions

Since version 4.2.2, released in March 2014, LibreOffice has offered two concurrently maintained major versions in addition to development versions (such as release candidates and nightly builds).¹⁴⁶ These versions are intended to accommodate different user needs:¹⁴⁷

Fresh – the most recent major version, which includes the latest features and improvements. It may contain bugs that have not yet been addressed.
Still – the previous major version, which has received additional bug fixes and is recommended for users prioritizing stability. Was previously called the Stable version.

Since January 2024, beginning with version 24.2.0, LibreOffice adopted a calendar-based versioning scheme. Version numbers follow a three-part format (year.month.patch), with the year and month reflection the initial or future launch date.¹⁴⁸

Release schedule

LibreOffice follows a time-based release schedule, with major versions released approximately every six months, typically in February and August. These release months are synchronized with other free software projects (such as GNOME) and are scheduled at least one month ahead of major Linux distribution releases.¹⁴⁹

Minor "patch" updates are issued regularly for both the Fresh and Still versions to address bugs and security vulnerabilities. The Fresh version receives updates every four to six weeks until it transitions to the Still version with the release of a new Fresh version. Once designated as Still, it continues to receive updates every six to seven weeks. A version reaches its end of life roughly nine months after its initial release.¹⁵⁰

Enterprise and derivative versions

Commercial distributions of LibreOffice with service-level agreements are provided by partner organizations, the most significant of which is Collabora.¹⁵¹ ¹⁵² Since version 7.1, the standard open-source release has stated that it is intended for "home users, students and non-profits," to distinguish it from enterprise-targeted versions. The Document Foundation recommends that organizations use commercially supported versions to help sustain development and has expressed concern that enterprise use of the community edition can divert volunteer resources and limit project funding.¹⁵³

Several derivative or enterprise-focused versions of LibreOffice have been developed, including:

Collabora Office and Collabora Online are enterprise-focussed editions of LibreOffice supporting online, mobile and desktop devices. And providing long-term support, technical support, custom features, and Service Level Agreements (SLA)s.
EuroOffice – developed by MultiRacio, provides Hungarian language support and localized extensions.¹⁵⁴ ¹⁵⁵
NDC ODF Application Tools – provided by Taiwan's National Development Council (NDC), and used by government agencies to promote OpenDocument format (ODF) standards.¹⁵⁶
NeoOffice – macOS-focused derivative that incorporated LibreOffice code starting in 2017, having previously been based on OpenOffice.org. NeoOffice was discontinued in 2024.¹⁵⁷
OxOffice – developed to enhance support for the Chinese language and originally based on OpenOffice.org before transitioning to LibreOffice.¹⁵⁸ ¹⁵⁹
OffiDocs – developed by OffiDocs Group in Estonia, provides LibreOffice-based applications in a browser and as mobile apps.¹⁶⁰ ¹⁶¹
ZetaOffice – developed by Allotropia, is a paid enterprise version offered as both a desktop application with long-term support and a web-based version using WebAssembly.¹⁶² ¹⁶³

In the 2020s, the number of commercial partner organizations decreased. In June 2023, Red Hat announced it would no longer maintain LibreOffice packages in future releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.¹⁶⁴ Maintenance of LibreOffice packages for the related Fedora Linux was transitioned to the Fedora LibreOffice Special Interest Group.¹⁶⁵ ¹⁶⁶ In 2021, CIB spun off its LibreOffice development and support services into a new company, Allotropia.¹⁶⁷ In May 2025, Collabora announced the acquisition of Allotropia, intending to combine Allotropia's ZetaOffice and WebAssembly with its own Collabora Office and Collabora Online products.¹⁶⁸
