In ArcGIS, when I want to Label my layer, there are a number of label styles I can choose from.

I would like to have that Feature in QGIS as well. For example, when I label my layer in a certain font, color, format and buffer, I would like to save my self-made label and just add it to another layer. Would that be possible?

    At the bottom left of the style window is the corresponding menu. Styles have to be in .qml-format.

  • You are right, thank you. I thought .qml-format represents only symbology but it does also store label styles.

  • .qml stores almost everything, sadly not layernames, but also predefined values etc.

To copy label style from one layer to another, right click on the layer name in the layer panel (the "table of contents" or "ToC" as Arc-users like to call it) > Styles > Copy/Paste Style > Labels

enter image description here

Note: In QGIS 2, it was only possible to copy/paste all the style settings at once. The ability to copy/paste parts of the style (like label settings) is a new feature in QGIS 3.
