In a boost converter, the output voltage is always higher than the input voltage.
A boost converter (step-up converter) is a DC-to-DC power converter that steps up voltage (while stepping down current) from its input (supply) to its output (load).
Buck: A buck converter (step-down converter) is a DC-to-DC power converter that steps down voltage (while stepping up current) from its input (supply) to its output (load).
Buffer: A voltage buffer circuit is one where input and output voltages are the same, and a current buffer circuit is one where input and output currents are the same.
Example: Common Collector CC is used as a voltage buffer.
Buck-Boost: The buck-boost converter is a type of DC-to-DC converter that has an output voltage magnitude that is either greater than or less than the input voltage magnitude.
