These are the security vendors’ own labels, shown exactly as VirusTotal reports them. We do not edit or interpret them. A detection does not by itself mean a file is malicious. Read the full report and see our Security and Trust Center.

Everyversion security commitment

We host no installers. Every download link goes to the download location named in the package listing, normally the publisher’s own server. For this software we downloaded the files from that source ourselves, re-computed each checksum and checked the code signature where our tools could, as shown above. A passing check shows a file is the one that was published; it is not a guarantee it is free of problems. For more information, visit our Security and Trust Center.

Release notes

This is a new major version of Xournal++ with a lot of new features, improvements, and bug fixes thanks to almost two year's worth of contributions from the community. Most notably a PDF text selection tool for interacting with the background PDF, geometry tools (setsquare and compass) for geometric constructions and measurements, and custom color palette support have been added. The LaTeX editor has been reimplemented using the gtksourceview library, enabling multiline input, syntax highlighting, undo/redo, word wrap, and a resizable code editor. Moreover the eraser has been rewritten to be much faster and more reliable and the rendering system has been optimized heavily, too. The file size of documents with lots of stroke data has been reduced by up to 15%. MacOS users will notice a large performance boost when drawing/writing thanks to an updated Gtk version. See the changelog for a full list of the changes.

Xournal++ FAQ

Is Xournal++ safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the download location named in the package listing, and the checks below were run on those files.

On 2026-11-08 we downloaded the latest 2 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 2 of 2 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 0 valid, 2 not signed.

VirusTotal: one engine out of 63 flagged xournalpp-1.3.8-windows-setup-AMD64.exe. A single flag among that many engines is usually a false alarm. We still list it under Detections.

Reports exist for 2 of 3 files, so the rating does not cover the rest.

Our rating: Safe so far. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Xournal++’s official website.

Does Xournal++ update itself after I install an old version?

For Windows, we have no information on whether Xournal++ updates itself, and for Mac, we have no confirmation that the app updates itself, although many apps check for updates and offer to install them. Look for an update setting in Xournal++ (see Xournal++’s documentation) before you rely on an older version.

Does Xournal++ cost anything?

No. Xournal++ is free and open source (license: GPL-2.0).

Which versions of Xournal++ are listed here, and how far back?

For Windows, we list 20 versions, from 1.1.3 (2022-11-27) up to 1.3.8, and for Linux, we list 1 version, from 1.3.8 (2026-09-25) up to 1.3.8. This page shows all of the Windows versions.

Where do the download links go?

They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Linux, to dl.flathub.org. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Xournal++’s official website.
