Documentation ¶

QGIS has a lot of documentation. All of the core documentation (user manual, developer handbooks etc.) is available in English. Some documents such as the user guide are also available in other languages.

You will find documentation for every QGIS Long Term Release (LTR) on the respective documentation website.

Get involved and help us write a better documentation.
