Selection guide
How to choose
- Check the Processing Toolbox first: buffers, joins, dissolves and geometry fixes are built into QGIS. Vector plugins mostly bundle extra tools or speed up repetitive edits.
- For distances and shapes on the ellipsoid (geodesic circles, lines of bearing), use a geodesic tool rather than planar buffers in a geographic CRS.
- Plugins that edit features (CAD-style tools, numeric digitizing) are the ones most likely to break on QGIS 4, so check their status before you upgrade.
