QField for QGIS
@qfield
I love to go out collecting spatial information, share it via QFieldCloud and process it in the office with my best friend @qgis
QFieldCloud's project creation flow has been overhauled with a clean new web interface, native XLSForm imports, and 1-click project cloning to get your field data campaigns off the ground faster. buff.ly/vGvzV9P
🏙️ QField's 3D support keeps growing. In the next version, highlighted polygons can be extruded by attribute (think building height), adding real depth when you explore 3D scenes. A first step toward bringing QGIS 3D vector styling into QField's 3D view.
🔖 Coming in the next QField: a bookmarks manager. Bookmarks just leveled up. Export all or a selected set to a GeoPackage, browse them without remembering titles, and delete in bulk. The groundwork for even more to come.
🔎 A nice quality-of-life fix coming to QField. Search in value map and value relation widgets is now accent-insensitive. Type "bez" and "Béziers" still shows up. Forgot an accent, or just want to type faster? Your items appear either way.
🥷 TEAM SPOTLIGHT: Meet Berit Mohr Our resident Vision Caster. She has a knack for cutting through the noise, spotting the 20% of the work that delivers 80% of the value, and making sure the right groundwork is in place before it counts.
Coming in the next QField: scan QR codes from your gallery 📷 Forwarded a QR code digitally? No need to point your camera at a screen. Pick the saved image and QField decodes it. Works everywhere QField reads QR codes.
📍 We were at FOSS4G Europe 2026 in Timișoara, Romania! 🇷🇴 Two QField talks 🎤 — covering what's new in QField 4 and QFieldCloud, and how it all comes together to solve real challenges in the field, offline and online. 🛰️ Thanks to everyone who joined us! 💚
⛰️ QField 4.2 lets you identify features by tapping the terrain directly in 3D map views.
🥷 TEAM SPOTLIGHT: Tobias König, our Zen Deployer 📍 Ireland He keeps QFieldCloud humming so your field data syncs without a hitch! "To automate is to be free from the tyranny of the urgent." #QField
🚨 QField feature alert 🚨 QField 4.2 polishes the precise view (stakeout) — a perfect companion to new NTRIP support. 🛰️ 🎯 Disable rotation of the precision target 🧭 Rotate by movement direction, not the device compass Plus UI fixes so key toggles stay on screen during stakeout ✨
💄 QField alert 💄 QField 4.2 now shows the currently opened project's title right in the side dashboard. Long-requested, finally here. ✨ Pairs perfectly with project cloning in QFieldCloud, one glance tells you which project you're viewing when configs look alike. 🎯
🚨 QField feature alert 🚨 New in QField 4.2: tap the (i) button by the project title for the open project's full title, description & author. ℹ️ Pulled from your QGIS project metadata and from QFieldCloud details if blank. A nice nudge to write good descriptions 🙂
💾 Now in QField 4.2: a storage meter showing your used and remaining QFieldCloud storage, right in the app. Running low? Tap to upgrade. #QField
📸 It's here in QField 4.2: a gallery editor widget that turns your parent/children project into a full media gallery — photos, video, audio, with zero extra configuration. 🎬 #QField
Over the years, QField has gained a number of ways through which authors can share their mapping projects. This post looks at the multiple ways this can be achieved and what scenarios fit each method best. buff.ly/Qm0Dl5D
✨ Now in QField 4.2 Wizard mode turns tabbed forms into a step-by-step survey: next/previous buttons, hard constraints, guidance widgets. Friendlier UX. Toggle on in QGIS, no extra config. Demo 👇 Funded by HOTOSM 💚
🆕 Now in QField 4.2: conditional row styling in the feature list. 🎨 Background color, text color, italic, underline, strikeout: all pulled straight from your QGIS project's rule-based styling. Already configured it? Then visual cues are waiting for you in the field. No setup required. 🙂
🚨 QField feature alert 🚨 QField 4.2 is here, and with it a brand-new search & filter panel on the QFieldCloud projects screen. 🔍 Filter by owner, jump straight to your org's projects, and search public projects — all in one place. The community tab? Gone 👋
