Documentation for QGIS 3.40

Hint

Looking for documentation of versions newer than the 3.40 Long Term Release? Have a look at the testing docs.

Note

QGIS documentation is available in various languages and versions. Expand the QGIS Documentation menu at the bottom of the sidebar to see the list.

Note

This documentation is translated from the original English version by community members on Transifex.

Depending on the translation effort's completion level, you may find paragraphs or whole pages which are still in English. You can help the community by providing new translations or reviewing existing ones on Transifex.

For the time being, localized translations are only available for the Long Term releases branch, but should be suitable to learn how to use QGIS nevertheless.

Welcome to the official documentation of QGIS, the free and open source community-driven GIS software! If you are new to this documentation, the table of contents below and in the sidebar should let you easily access the documentation for your topic of interest. You can also use the search function in the top left corner.

Besides the online documentation, the QGIS project also provides materials that you can download for offline reading. They are accessible from the QGIS Documentation menu at the bottom of the sidebar, as:

  • HTML zipped files that you can extract and use as paths from within the software

  • PDF files

Note

QGIS is an open source project developed by a community of contributors. The documentation team can always use your feedback and help to improve the tutorials and features description.
