Springer LNCS LaTeX Template
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Template for Springer LNCS, LNAI, and LNBI proceedings. Used by many computer science conferences.
About the Springer LNCS Template
The Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) template is used by a vast number of computer science conferences that publish their proceedings through Springer. This includes ECCV, MICCAI, and hundreds of other venues in the LNCS, LNAI (Artificial Intelligence), and LNBI (Bioinformatics) series.
The llncs document class produces a single-column layout on A4 paper. Page limits typically range from 12-15 pages depending on the specific conference. The template is maintained by Springer and available from their official conference proceedings guidelines page.
The current version (llncs.cls v2.24) is available on CTAN. For the best compatibility, use TeXLive 2025 or later. An enhanced community version on GitHub adds modern features like microtype and hyperref while maintaining full compatibility with the official template.
Turn your notes into a Springer LNCS-ready paper.
Upload notes, drafts, or a PDF — Underleaf converts them to clean LaTeX so you can focus on the research, not the formatting.
