QGIS installers previously included all PROJ reprojection grids—large TIFF files totaling up to 800 MB, making the full package 1.3 GB. This caused issues for users and high server bandwidth.

Future installers will exclude these grids. QGIS can download missing grids on demand, while full offline installers remain available for those needing offline deployment.

We are looking for an administrative assistant to help us amplify our impact! The QGIS project is largely managed by volunteers who are experiencing increasing administrative workloads as the project grows. To address this, we want to hire an administrative assistant to support our work. Is that something that interests you or someone you know? See our blog for more details!

The 2026 QGIS User Conference is coming to Laax, Switzerland, and we'd love your support! 

For the first time, our annual QGIS Conference will be held in the Swiss Alps. This community-driven event brings together QGIS users, developers, and contributors from around the world. If your organisation benefits from QGIS and wants to give back, sponsoring the UC is a great way to do it.

Have a look at our sponsorship brochure for more detail.

QGIS 4.0 is out and we're raising funds to support what comes next. This year we're aiming to grow sustaining membership income by €100,000 to fund more bug fixing, faster pull request reviews, a project secretary for the PSC, expanded security work, and a larger grants programme.

Memberships start at €500/year. Every new member counts.

The Call for Papers for the 2026 QGIS User Conference is now open! We welcome talks and workshops of all levels, from end users to developers, from academia to industry. Topics can include QGIS use cases, new features, ecosystem tools, and more. Submit your proposal by 12 April 2026 at 23:59 (Europe/Zurich). See you in Laax! 🏔️
