Texmaker is a free editor for writing documents in LaTeX, the typesetting system used for papers, theses, books and technical reports. It brings the source editor, a document structure view and a PDF viewer together in one window, so you can write code, compile with a click, and check the finished pages. Updated Aug 20, 2026.

Key Features

  • A Unicode editor with syntax highlighting and code folding for LaTeX
  • An integrated PDF viewer with SyncTeX support for jumping between source and output
  • Quick build commands that run your chosen tools in one step
  • A structure view, symbol panels and wizards for tables and common parts
  • Spell checking while you type and helpful error messages after a build
  • Free and open to all users on Mac, Windows and Linux systems

How to Download

  1. Make sure a LaTeX distribution such as MacTeX is installed on your Mac.
  2. Use this link to get the installer: Download from the official site and save the file to your Mac.
  3. Open the Mac package for your chip type and install the app.
  4. Launch Texmaker, open a sample document and run Quick Build to test it.

System Requirements

Texmaker needs a Mac running a recent version of macOS. Current Mac builds are made for Apple silicon, with an older build kept for Intel machines. You also need a LaTeX distribution installed, since Texmaker is the editor and not the typesetting engine itself.

FAQs

Is Texmaker free?

Yes. Texmaker is free software. You can use it for study, work and publishing without paying for a licence.

Why will my document not compile?

Most often the LaTeX distribution is missing or a package is absent. Install MacTeX, reopen Texmaker, and check the log panel, which points to the exact line with the error.
