Selection guide
How to choose
- Raster analysis such as slope, hillshade, zonal statistics and reprojection is built in through GDAL in the Processing Toolbox. Plugins add profiles, 3D views and data downloads.
- For elevation profiles along a line, Profile Tool is the standard choice. For interactive 3D scenes and web export, use Qgis2threejs.
- Very large rasters are better handled as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs or VRTs than through plugins that load everything into memory.
