Macron, who topped the first round of the election on April 10, is the first president to win re-election since Jacques Chirac in 2002.
Le Pen, who is projected to have won 41.8% of the vote, was making her third run for the presidency.
Some 48.7 million were registered to vote, but turnout was even lower than in the first round, when one in four abstained from voting.
