How to install Notepad++

1. Open the official publisher page using the button on this page.
2. Choose the installer that matches your operating system and processor where the publisher offers more than one option.
3. Review the current requirements and complete the publisher's normal installation steps. Avoid third-party download mirrors.
4. Launch the application and test a small, non-critical file before starting important work.

Your first useful task

Open a copy of a text or code file, enable the appropriate language highlighting, make a small edit and save under a new filename. Check encoding when working with older files.

Before you choose

Notepad++ is a Windows text editor, not a word processor. It does not provide page layout like an office suite, and installers should come only from its official website.

GetFree4U does not host, bundle or modify installers. Keep original files and review the result before replacing anything important.
