Hello Hackers,

I’m looking for a complete list of PostgreSQL 17 extensions — both
open-source and proprietary. I found a link
<https://www.postgresql.org/download/products/6-postgresql-extensions/&gt;,
but it doesn’t seem to include all available extensions.

Is there an official or community-maintained source where I can find a
comprehensive list of supported extensions?

Thanks & Regards,

Zaid Shabbir

There is no "supported". Each extension has to support itself.
An exception are the "contrib" extensions shipped with PostgreSQL:
they are supported by the PGDG.

There is also no complete list of extensions that I am aware of.

In addition to the link you mention, you can search Github and
pgxn.org; that should cover a lot of them.

There is some info in the slides from David Wheeler's talk
at PGConf.dev earlier this month:

https://www.pgevents.ca/events/pgconfdev2025/sessions/session/331/slides/87/pgconf.dev-2025-adventures-extension-packaging.pdf

The fifth slide has this link:
https://gist.github.com/joelonsql/e5aa27f8cc9bd22b8999b7de8aee9d47

... which seems to include not quite 1200 extensions.
