FreeOffice consists of TextMaker, PlanMaker and Presentations. You use it for letters, calculations and slideshows and can open and save widely used Microsoft Office files. You choose an interface with ribbons or classic menus, depending on your preference.

Compatibility remains something to assess per document. Complex formatting, fonts and advanced features can work differently than in Microsoft Office. The paid SoftMaker Office release offers additional possibilities and is a different product than this free package.

Compare FreeOffice with alternatives

With another office package, exchange is often more important than the number of functions. Check complex Word documents, spreadsheet formulas, macrophrases and fonts with your own files. A similar interface does not guarantee that formatting or automation in each package remains identical.

Our verdict

FreeOffice fits well with ordinary office work at home. You can write a letter, keep a budget and make a presentation without looking for three separate programs. The choice in control helps when you are used to older menus or on a ribbon.

The decisive test is your own document exchange. Open a few files that you receive regularly, change something and check the result as PDF. Especially complex templates and spreadsheets deserve attention. If they connect properly, you have a useful package for daily work. Base a switch less on the list supported extensions than on what you really do with those files.
