LibreOffice
A free, open-source office suite (Writer, Calc, Impress) that opens and saves Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, with no subscription.
What you can do with it
- Edit Word and Excel files without paying for Microsoft 365
- Turn a whole folder of Word files into PDFs with one command
- Keep a portable office suite on a USB stick or locked-down PC
Worth knowingNo live co-editing with Microsoft 365 users and limited Excel macro support. Simple files survived our test perfectly; heavily designed layouts may shift.
