[Qgis-user] QGIS Simplify polygons without creating gaps and overlaps

I polygonized a land use raster layer using GDAL – Raster Conversion – 
Polygonize (Raster to Vector). The borders of the polygons of course 
exactly follow the borders of the raster cell. In ArcPro, there was an 
option to create simplified polygons when polygonizing raster data. I 
tried to find a similar tool in QGIS or a way to simplify the polygons 
resulting from Polygonize, but did not find any solution that does not 
produce gaps or overlaps.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks!
