QGIS (64-bit) for Windows

QGIS (64-bit) is an open-source geographic information system used to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial data. It supports vector, raster, mesh, and point cloud layers that can be displayed and managed within a layered map canvas. The software excels at handling a variety of coordinate systems.

QGIS (64-bit) includes tools for geometry editing, attribute table management, spatial querying, coordinate reference system handling, and geoprocessing operations. It also offers map rendering and layout tools for symbology, labeling, styling, and map output. A built-in Python environment and plugin framework readily allow functional extension and task automation within the core application.

Spatial analysis and mapping tools

QGIS (64-bit) manages spatial data through layer-based structures that support editing, transformation, and analysis. Vector layers allow geometry creation and modification, while raster layers support classification, reprojection, and analysis using grid-based operations. Attribute tables are directly linked to spatial features and can be queried, filtered, and edited. Geoprocessing tools perform spatial operations such as buffering, intersection, union, dissolve, and spatial joins across compatible datasets.

Cartographic functionality is handled through symbology engines and layout composition tools. Layers can be styled using rule-based, categorized, or graduated renderers driven by attribute data. Labeling systems control placement, formatting, and collision handling. However, some advanced analyses require external plugins. The layout manager supports multiple map frames, legends, scale indicators, text elements, and images. Finished layouts can be exported to raster or vector formats suitable for printing or digital distribution.

The software includes automation and extension mechanisms through Python scripting and a modular plugin system. The integrated Python console provides access to application libraries for custom processing workflows and batch operations. Plugins can add new processing tools, data providers, interface panels, or specialized analysis functions. Database connectivity allows interaction with spatial databases using native providers, enabling direct editing, querying, and visualization without intermediate data conversion steps.

Your world, fully mapped

QGIS (64-bit) includes tools for spatial data editing, visualization, analysis, and map production within a single GIS environment. It supports multiple geospatial data types, coordinate systems, rendering methods, and layout outputs. Processing tools cover common vector and raster operations, while scripting and plugins extend functionality. Limitations include reliance on external plugins for certain specialized analyses and variability in available tools depending on data source and provider support.
