About QField for QGIS
QField for QGIS transforms your smartphone into a professional mobile GIS data collection tool, enabling field teams to capture, edit, and manage spatial data with desktop-level precision—whether online or completely offline.
Work seamlessly in remote locations where connectivity is unreliable or unavailable. QField loads fully configured QGIS projects directly onto your device, letting you perform real-time GPS tracking, create custom forms, apply map themes, and edit vector data without waiting for an internet connection. Any changes you make offline are automatically saved and synced to your office systems the moment connectivity returns, eliminating data loss and keeping your entire team aligned.
Capture location data with professional-grade accuracy using your device's built-in GPS or by connecting external GNSS receivers via Bluetooth, TCP, UDP, or mock location sources. Record altitude, directional heading, and measurement precision alongside every data point you collect. Support for industry-standard formats—GeoPackage, SpatiaLite, GeoJSON, KML, GPX, Shapefiles, GeoTIFF, Geospatial PDF, WEBP, and JPEG2000—ensures seamless integration with your existing GIS workflows and data pipelines.
Sync projects and updates through QFieldCloud for the smoothest collaborative experience, or work through your preferred method: USB transfer, email, direct downloads, or SD card. Your choice of workflow means you're never constrained by a single approach. Customize forms, map layouts, and feature editing interfaces to match your organization's data collection standards, ensuring consistency and reducing errors in the field.
Whether you're conducting environmental surveys, infrastructure inspections, asset mapping, or emergency response fieldwork, QField for QGIS delivers the flexibility and power of desktop GIS in your pocket. Load projects in seconds, work offline indefinitely, and sync results instantly when you're ready. No complicated setup, no forced cloud dependencies—just professional GIS fieldwork on your terms.
