FreeOffice
A no-cost office suite built around Microsoft Office file formats.
FreeOffice is a downloadable office suite from SoftMaker with separate apps for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. It is aimed at users who want to create and edit Microsoft Office-style documents on Windows, macOS, or Linux without paying for an office package.
Why it stands out
- Covers the three core office tasks in one suite rather than offering only a writer or viewer.
- Explicitly targets Microsoft Office file compatibility across documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
- Available for all major desktop operating systems, including Linux.
- Free for both personal and business use, not just home use.
Good to know
- FreeOffice is free, but the page does not present it as open source software.
- It is primarily an installed desktop suite, not a web-based collaborative office service.
- The mobile offering is presented as SoftMaker Office for iOS and Android rather than the same FreeOffice desktop package.
Under the radar: If you are looking for phone or tablet versions, use the site’s iOS/Android download path; those apps are listed under SoftMaker Office rather than the FreeOffice desktop name.
