Intersection — Tool (QGIS)

In QGIS: Processing Toolbox › Vector overlay › Intersection (native:intersection); menu: Vector › Geoprocessing Tools › Intersection.

Realises:

• Intersection

Settings that matter

• Overlay fields to keep limits which attributes of B are carried over.

Watch out

• The result has the attributes of both layers. If you do not need B’s attributes, Clip (Tool - QGIS) gives the same shapes with a cleaner table.

Checked in QGIS 4.2.2, October 2026. Names and options can differ in other versions.
