about=QGIS plugin that streamlines your raster georeferencing workflow by wiring GDAL directly into the Georeferencer interface and utilising your system's available resources. It adds buttons for every step—from reading your GCPs through to generating Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs)—all without ever leaving QGIS. Features include off-thread background processing with a live progress bar, a Performance panel for thread/cache control, user-selectable CRS, GCP validation warnings, and persistent settings.

changelog-qgis4=
    2.5.1:
    - Now drives GDAL through the osgeo.gdal Python API instead of the gdal_translate/gdalwarp command-line tools: real progress bar, no PATH setup, no temp .vrt files, handles large GCP sets
    - Uses the whole machine by default (all CPUs, RAM-scaled block cache) with a new Performance panel to dial threads/cache down
    - Points->GeoTIFF output is now multithreaded and gets internal overviews
    - Fixed: WEBP quality slider was ignored for COG outputs; custom (non-EPSG) CRS now works
    - Qt6 compatibility checker and Bandit warnings cleared
    2.4.x:
    - QGIS4 menu / map-layer API fallbacks; transparency preserved for all compressions
