Tabulate area — Tool (QGIS)

In QGIS: Processing Toolbox › Raster analysis › Tabulate area (legend labels) (semanticgis:tabulatearealegend); Processing Toolbox › SemanticGIS › Raster analysis › Tabulate area (legend labels) (SemanticGIS plugin 0.7.14 and later).

Realises:

Settings that matter

  • Labels come from the raster layer’s Paletted/Unique values style, or from a .qml file.
  • Report as: pixel count, area (m² in EPSG:25832), or percent of each zone’s classified pixels.
  • Values that share a label are added into one column; values without a label get a column value <n>.

Watch out

  • QGIS’s own Zonal histogram does the same counting but names the columns after the raster values (HISTO_211000).

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