Shapefile Area & Length Calculator QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Shapefile Area & Length Calculator supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Select shapefiles from disk or from the current QGIS workspace, and calculate polygon area (m² / ha), line length (m / km), and part counts, in a professional cartographic-themed interface with a resizable results panel.
About
Pick one or more shapefiles from disk (they don't need to already be loaded into the project) and get per-file and total measurements: area in square metres and hectares for polygon shapefiles, or length in metres and kilometres for line shapefiles. Point shapefiles show a feature count. All measurements use ellipsoidal calculation, so results are correct regardless of whether the shapefile is in a geographic (lat/lon) or projected CRS. Results can be exported to CSV.
