LibreOffice (

databases; and composing mathematical formulae. It is available in 120 languages.[9] Although TDF does not provide support for LibreOffice, enterprise-focused editions are available from companies in the ecosystem.[12]

LibreOffice uses the OpenDocument standard as its native file format but supports formats of most other major office suites, including Microsoft Office, through a variety of import and export filters. It is available for a variety of computing platforms, with official support for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux,[13] and community builds for many other platforms. Ecosystem partner Collabora uses LibreOffice upstream code and provides apps for Android, iOS, iPadOS, and ChromeOS. LibreOffice is the default office suite of the most popular Linux distributions.[14]

LibreOffice Online is an online office suite that includes the applications Writer, Calc, and Impress, and provides an upstream for projects such as commercial Collabora Online. It is the most actively developed free and open-source office suite, with approximately 50 times the development activity of Apache OpenOffice, the other major descendant of OpenOffice.org, in 2015.[15]

The project was announced, and a beta was released on September 28, 2010. LibreOffice was downloaded about 7.5 million times between January 2011 (the first stable release) and October 2011.[16] The project claimed 120 million unique downloading addresses from May 2011 to May 2015 (excluding Linux distributions), with 55 million of those from May 2014 to May 2015.[17] The Document Foundation estimates that there are 200 million active LibreOffice users worldwide, about 25% of whom are students and 10% are Linux users.[18]

Features

Included applications in LibreOffice

Component Notes
Writer A word processor with functionality similar to Microsoft Office and file support for Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files. It has extensive WYSIWYG word processing capabilities, but can also be used as a basic text editor.[19] It can also create fillable forms via PDF or the Forms tab.
Calc A spreadsheet program, similar to Microsoft Excel or Lotus 1-2-3. It has several unique features, including a system which automatically defines series of graphs, based on information available to the user.[clarification needed][19][20]
Impress A presentation program resembling Microsoft PowerPoint. Impress has support for multiple file formats including PPTX, ODP, and SXI.[19][21]
Draw A vector graphics editor, raster graphics editor, and diagramming tool similar to Microsoft Visio, CorelDRAW, and Adobe Photoshop. It provides connectors between shapes, which are available in a range of line styles and facilitate building drawings such as flowcharts. It also includes features similar to desktop publishing software such as Scribus and Microsoft Publisher.[22] It can also act as a PDF file editor.
Math An application designed for creating and editing mathematical formulae. The application uses a variant of XML for creating formulas, as defined in the OpenDocument specification. These formulas can be incorporated into other documents in the LibreOffice suite, such as those created by Writer or Calc, by embedding the formulas into the document.[23]
Base A
JDBC data sources, and MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Microsoft Access.[19][24]
Impress and Math, version 7.1.2 (released in April 2021, running on Linux with default theme and icon set)

Operating systems and processor architectures

LibreOffice is

Mac OS X 10.5 PowerPC[29] receive support from contributors to those projects, respectively.[30][31][32] LibreOffice is also installable on OpenIndiana via SFE.[33]

Starting with LibreOffice 25.2, there will be no guarantee that LibreOffice will work on Windows 7 or 8/8.1 (since they are now deprecated platforms as of version 24.8).[34] Support for Windows 7 and 8/8.1 will be removed in version 25.8.[35]

Historically, predecessors of LibreOffice, dating back to StarOffice 3, have run on Solaris with SPARC CPUs that Sun Microsystems (and later Oracle) made. Unofficial ports of LibreOffice, whose versions are now obsolete, have supported SPARC. Current unofficial ports of LibreOffice 5.2.5 run only on Intel-compatible hardware, up to Solaris 11.

In 2011, developers announced plans to port LibreOffice both to Android and to iOS.[36] A beta version of a document viewer for Android 4.0 or newer was released in January 2015;[37] in May 2015, LibreOffice Viewer for Android was released with basic editing capabilities.[38] In February 2020, Collabora released its first officially supported version of LibreOffice (branded as Collabora Office) for Android and iOS.[39]

In July 2020, Collabora shipped an app, branded Collabora Office, for ChromeOS, as used on the popular Chromebook line of notebook computers as well as other form factors of computers. The LibreOffice Impress Remote application for various mobile operating systems allows for remote control of LibreOffice Impress presentations. In June 2023, Red Hat announced that it will no longer support LibreOffice on future editions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux in order to focus on Wayland support and other priorities towards workstation users. LibreOffice will still be available via distribution-neutral Flatpak.[40] Starting with LibreOffice 7.6 on Fedora 39, packaging and maintenance of LibreOffice on Fedora Linux will be managed by the Fedora LibreOffice Special Interest Group instead of Red Hat.[41][42]

LibreOffice Online

LibreOffice Online is the online office suite edition of LibreOffice. It allows for the use of LibreOffice through a web browser by using the canvas element of HTML5. Development was announced at the first LibreOffice Conference in October 2011, and is ongoing.[44] The Document Foundation, IceWarp, and Collabora announced a collaboration to work on its implementation.[45][46] A version of the software was shown in a September 2015 conference,[47] and the UK Crown Commercial Service announced an interest in using the software.[48][49] On 15 December 2015, Collabora, in partnership with ownCloud, released a technical preview of LibreOffice Online branded as Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE).[50]

In July 2016, the enterprise version Collabora Online 1.0 was released.[51] That same month, Nextcloud and Collabora partnered to bring CODE to Nextcloud users.[52][53] By October 2016, Collabora had released nine updates to CODE.[54] The first source code release of LibreOffice Online was done with LibreOffice version 5.3 in February 2017.[55][56] In June 2019, CIB software GmbH officially announced its contributions to LibreOffice Online and "LibreOffice Online powered by CIB".[57] In October 2020, Collabora announced the move of its work on Collabora Online from The Document Foundation infrastructure to GitHub.[58]

Comparison with OpenOffice

A detailed 60-page report in June 2015 compared the progress of the LibreOffice project with the related project Apache OpenOffice. It showed that "OpenOffice received about 10% of the improvements LibreOffice did in the period of time studied."[59]

Supported file formats

As its native file format to save documents for all of its applications, LibreOffice uses the Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF), or OpenDocument, an international standard developed jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). LibreOffice also supports the file formats of most other major office suites, including Microsoft Office, through a variety of import and export filters.[60][19]

Miscellaneous features

LibreOffice can use the GStreamer multimedia framework in Linux to render multimedia content such as videos in Impress and other programs. Visually, LibreOffice used the large "Tango style" icons that are used for the application shortcuts, quick launch icons, icons for associated files and for the icons found on the toolbar of the LibreOffice programs in the past,[83][84] and used on the toolbars and menus by default. They were later replaced by multiple icon themes to adapt the look and feel of specific desktop environment, such as Colibre for Windows, and Elementary for GNOME.[85]

LibreOffice also ships with a modified theme which looks native on GTK-based Linux distributions. It also renders fonts via Cairo on Linux distributions; this means that text in LibreOffice is rendered the same as the rest of the Linux desktop.[86] With version 6.2, LibreOffice includes a ribbon-style GUI, called Notebookbar, including three different views.[87] This feature has formerly been included as an experimental feature in LibreOffice 6 (experimental features must be enabled from LibreOffice settings to make the option available in the View menu).[88]

LibreOffice has a feature similar to

Portable Document Format (PDF) which can be read by any program supporting PDF, but also contains the source document in ODF format, editable in LibreOffice by dragging and dropping.[92]

Licensing

The LibreOffice project uses a dual

Apache Software Foundation, there is an ongoing effort to get all the code rebased to ease future license updates.[94]

Scripting and extensions

LibreOffice supports third-party extensions.

application programming interface for LibreOffice is called "UNO" and is extensively documented.[99]

LibreOffice Basic

StarOffice Basic. It is available in Writer, Calc and Base. It is used to write small programs known as "macros", with each macro performing a different task, such as counting the words in a paragraph.[100]

History

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

ooo-build, Go-oo and Oracle

Members of the OpenOffice.org community who were not Sun Microsystems employees had wanted a more egalitarian form for the OpenOffice.org project for many years; Sun had stated in the original OpenOffice.org announcement in 2000 that the project would eventually be run by a neutral foundation,[101] and put forward a more detailed proposal in 2001.[102] Ximian and then Novell had maintained the ooo-build patch set, a project led by Michael Meeks, to make the build easier on Linux and because it was difficult to get contributions accepted by Sun, even from corporate partners. It tracked the main line of development and was not intended to constitute a fork.[103] It was also the standard build mechanism for OpenOffice.org in most Linux distributions,[104] and was contributed to by said distributions.[105]

In 2007, ooo-build was made available by Novell as a software package called Go-oo (ooo-build had used the go-oo.org domain name as early as 2005),[106] which included many features not included in upstream OpenOffice.org. Go-oo also encouraged outside contributions, with rules similar to those later adopted for LibreOffice.[107] Sun's contributions to OpenOffice.org had been declining for some time.[108] They remained reluctant to accept contributions[109] and contributors were upset at Sun releasing OpenOffice.org code to IBM for IBM Lotus Symphony under a proprietary contract, rather than under an open source licence.[110]

Sun was purchased by Oracle Corporation in early 2010. OpenOffice.org community members were concerned by Oracle's behaviour towards open source software, specifically the Java lawsuit against Google[111] and Oracle's withdrawal of developers,[112] and lack of activity on or visible commitment to OpenOffice.org, as had been noted by industry observers;[113] as Meeks put it in early September 2010, "The news from the Oracle OpenOffice conference was that there was no news."[114] Discussion of a fork started soon after.[115]

The Document Foundation and LibreOffice

On 28 September 2010, The Document Foundation was announced as the host of LibreOffice, a new derivative of OpenOffice.org. The Document Foundation's initial announcement stated their concerns that Oracle would either discontinue OpenOffice.org, or place restrictions on it as an open source project, as it had on Sun's OpenSolaris.[116][117][118][119] LibreOffice 3.3 beta used the ooo-build build infrastructure and the OpenOffice.org 3.3 beta code from Oracle, then adding selected patches from Go-oo.[120] Go-oo was discontinued in favour of LibreOffice. Since the office suite that was branded "OpenOffice.org" in most Linux distributions was in fact Go-oo, most moved immediately to LibreOffice.[121] Oracle was invited to become a member of The Document Foundation; however, Oracle demanded that all members of the OpenOffice.org Community Council involved with The Document Foundation step down from the OOo Community Council, claiming a conflict of interest.[122]

Naming

The name "LibreOffice" was picked after research in trademark databases and social media and checks to ensure it could be used for URLs in various countries.[123] Oracle rejected requests to donate the OpenOffice.org brand to the project.[124] LibreOffice was initially named BrOffice in Brazil. OpenOffice.org had been distributed as BrOffice.org by the BrOffice Centre of Excellence for Free Software because of a trademark issue.[125]

End of OpenOffice.org and beginning of Apache OpenOffice

Oracle announced in April 2011 that it was ending its development of OpenOffice.org and would lay off the majority of its paid developers.

Apache Software Foundation,[127] where the project was accepted for a project incubation process within the foundation, thus becoming Apache OpenOffice. In an interview with LWN in May 2011, Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth blamed The Document Foundation for destroying OpenOffice.org because it did not license its code under Oracle's Contributor License Agreement.[128] In opposition to Shuttleworth's view, the former Sun executive Simon Phipps argued in an article for the same online magazine, that the lay-off was an inevitable business decision by Oracle, not impacted by existence of LibreOffice.[129] In March 2015, an LWN.net comparison of LibreOffice with its cousin project Apache OpenOffice concluded that "LibreOffice has won the battle for developer participation".[130]

Mascot competition

In late 2017 The Document Foundation held a competition for the new mascot of LibreOffice. The mascot was to be used primarily by the community, and was not intended to supersede existing logos for the project. Over 300 concepts were submitted before the first evaluation phase.[188] The mascot contest was cancelled soon after new submissions stopped being accepted. The Document Foundation cited their lack of clear rules and arguments among community members as their reasoning for cancelling the contest.[189]

Since March 2014 and version 4.2.2, two different major "released" versions of LibreOffice are available at any time in addition to development versions (numbered release candidates and dated nightly builds).[190] The versions are designated to signal their appropriateness for differing user requirements.[191] Releases are designated by three numbers separated by dots. The first two numbers represent the major version (branch) number, and the final number indicates the bugfix releases made in that series. LibreOffice designates the two release versions as:

  • "Fresh" – the most recent major version (branch), which contains the latest enhancements but which may have introduced bugs not present in the "still" release.
  • "Still" (formerly "Stable") – the prior major version, which, by the time it has become the "still" version, has had around six months of bug fixing. It is recommended for users for whom stability is more important than the latest enhancements.

Since January 2024 and version 24.2.0, LibreOffice use calendar-based release numbering scheme.[178]

Release schedule

LibreOffice uses a

time-based release schedule for predictability, rather than a "when it's ready" schedule. New major versions are released around every six months, in January or February and July or August of each year. The initial intention was to release in March and September, to align with the schedule of other free software projects.[192]
Minor bugfix versions of the "fresh" and "still" release branches are released frequently.

Enterprise support

Commercially supported distributions for LibreOffice with service-level agreements are available via partners such as Collabora (marketed as Collabora Office and Collabora Online), CIB (marketed as CIB Office on the Microsoft Store), and Red Hat.[193][194] The three vendors are major corporate contributors to the LibreOffice project.[194] As of version 7.1, the open source release of LibreOffice is officially branded as "LibreOffice Community", in order to emphasize that the releases are intended primarily for personal individual use, and are "not targeted at enterprises, and not optimized for their support needs". The Document Foundation states that usage of the community versions in such settings "has had a two-fold negative consequence for the project: a poor use of volunteers' time, as they have to spend their time to solve problems for business that provide nothing in return to the community, and a net loss for ecosystem companies."[194]

Users and deployments

LibreOffice weekly downloads since 2010

The figure shows the worldwide number of LibreOffice usersm 2011 to 2018 in millions. References are in the text.

2011
The Document Foundation estimated in September 2011, that there were 10 million users worldwide who had obtained LibreOffice via
International Data Corporation reckonings for new or updated Linux installations in 2011, The Document Foundation estimated a subtotal of 15 million Linux users. This gave a total estimated user base of 25 million users in 2011.[195] In 2011, the Document Foundation set a target of 200 million users worldwide before the end of 2020.[195]
2013
In September 2013, after two years, the estimated number of LibreOffice users was 75 million.[196] A million new unique IP addresses check for downloads each week.[197]
2015

2016
In August 2016, the number of LibreOffice users was estimated at 120 million.[199]
2018
The Document Foundation estimated in 2018 that there are 200 million active LibreOffice users worldwide. About 25% of them are students and 10% Linux users (who often automatically receive LibreOffice through their distribution).[200] In comparison, Microsoft Office was used in 2018 by 1.2 billion users.[201]
