#All LibreSprite 1.3 files

These are every file on the 1.3 release page. We downloaded each app build on November 1, 2026 and computed its SHA-256 ourselves; the links go straight to GitHub.

The release has no Android APK and no web build. The newest official Android build is the 1.2 pre-release APK, and the browser version is covered on LibreSprite online.

#“Source code (zip)” is not the app

GitHub adds two archives to every release, Source code (zip) and Source code (tar.gz). They contain the C++ source, not a program, so there is no libresprite.exe inside. This is the most common download mistake in the project’s issues (#605 “no exe file”). The two SOURCE.CODE.+.submodules archives are also source, for building it yourself.

#Which version should I use?

#32-bit Windows, Windows 7 and old Macs

There is no 32-bit build of 1.3: both Windows files are x64. LibreSprite’s main branch now requires Windows 10 or later (raised in October 2026), and the official site still lists “Windows 7 or above” from older releases, which we could not verify for 1.3. The Mac builds are 64-bit only too, one for Apple Silicon and one for Intel. If your system is older, an older release or a Linux distribution’s package is the realistic route.

#Package managers

Versions from Repology and Flathub, checked November 1, 2026. Not packaged for Debian, Ubuntu, Homebrew or winget at that date.

We installed it ourselves from Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Void and Alpine edge (1.3), and Fedora Rawhide (1.2); Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13 and Fedora 44 have no package. Install on Linux has the commands. On Windows, Scoop’s extras bucket has 1.3 (scoop bucket add extras, then scoop install extras/libresprite); Chocolatey is still at 1.0.

#Unofficial download sites

Search results for LibreSprite include download portals (Softonic, SourceForge mirrors, Uptodown and others) and re-uploaded Mac builds on itch.io. Some are simply mirrors of the GitHub files, some are old, and you cannot easily tell which. There is also no reason to use them: GitHub is free, fast and official. The old domain libresprite.org no longer works. The project’s own website is libresprite.github.io; this site, libresprite.dev, is an independent guide and never hosts the program.

#How to check your download

Compare the SHA-256 of your file with the table above. If it matches, you have exactly the file GitHub serves.
