Overview

LaTeX is still the gold standard for theses, dissertations and journal submissions, with typography that ordinary word processors cannot match. Yet the most convenient way to write it has moved online, often behind a subscription.

FreedomTex brings that convenience to your own computer. Write the source on one side and watch the finished PDF take shape on the other, with no internet connection needed. The Windows installer includes a complete TeX distribution, so you can install FreedomTex and compile your first document straight away.

Missing a package? FreedomTex recognises it, asks once, and installs it with everything it depends on. Bring in your bibliography straight from a Zotero library, including Better BibTeX collections, so your citations always match your reference manager.

Highlights

  • A live PDF preview, with two-way jumps between the source and the document
  • Missing LaTeX packages found and installed automatically
  • Templates for theses, IEEE and Elsevier articles, Beamer presentations, posters and more
  • References imported from Zotero, including Better BibTeX collections
  • Visual editing, spell checking, word count, version history and Git
  • Light and dark themes, and everything works offline
