LibreOffice 26.2 gives users a faster, more polished office suite

LibreOffice 26.2 is now available, making it easier for users to create, edit, and share documents. Designed for individuals and organizations alike, it continues to be a trusted alternative to proprietary office software, according to the company.

LibreOffice 26.2 brings better performance, smoother interaction with complex documents, and improved compatibility with files created in other office software.

LibreOffice 26.2 strengthens support for open document standards, and ensures long-term access to files, without subscriptions, license restrictions, or data collection.

Behind this release there is a global community of contributors. Developers, designers, translators, QA testers, and volunteers from around the world worked together to deliver hundreds of fixes and refinements, the company said. Their efforts resulted in a suite that not only adds features, but also improves quality, consistency, and stability, release after release.

The new features include:

• Improved performance and responsiveness across the suite, making large documents open, edit, and save more smoothly.
• Enhanced compatibility with documents created in proprietary and open core office software, reducing formatting issues and surprises.
• Refined user interface behavior for a cleaner, more consistent experience.
• Expanded support for open standards, reinforcing long-term access to documents
• Hundreds of bug fixes and stability improvements contributed by the global LibreOffice community.

"LibreOffice 26.2 shows what happens when software is built around users, not business models, and how open source software can deliver a modern, polished productivity suite without compromising user freedom," said Florian Effenberger, executive director of The Document Foundation. "This release is about speed, reliability, and giving people control over their documents."

LibreOffice 26.2 is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports over 120 languages out of the box.
