Qt Features, Framework Essentials, Modules, Tools & Add-Ons
Explore the modules and tools of the latest Qt release and product offerings from The Qt Company. Discover which development platforms, operating systems, and coding languages are supported, as well as how The Qt Company products are licensed and packaged.
Please select a package, license model, platform, or programming language to see, what items are available for that selection.
Note that multiple selections are not supported.
Note that the open-source license does not restrict running the tools. For example, GPLv3 affirms unlimited permission to run unmodified software. The license sets conditions to create and distribute derivate works. Using GPL v3-licensed Qt Creator does not imply that your software becomes GPL v3-licensed unless your software modifies existing software, which you are going to distribute and which is licensed under GPL v3.
Design Tools
Everything you need for designing an amazing user interface and the ultimate user experience.
Qt Design Studio
A UI design and development environment for creating animated user interfaces.
Qt Widgets Designer
A tool for designing and building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using Qt Widgets. Integrated into Qt Creator.
Qt Shader Tools
Tools for the cross-platform Qt shader pipeline. These enable processing graphics and compute shaders to make them usable for Qt Quick and other components in the Qt ecosystem.

A cross-platform, complete integrated development environment (IDE) for application developers to create applications for multiple desktop, embedded, and mobile device platforms.
Qt Linguist
A set of tools for translating Qt C++ and Qt Quick applications into local languages.
qmake
Qt's build automation tool that simplifies the build process across different platforms. Although qmake is still supported, the official build tool for Qt is CMake and we recommend developers to use CMake in new projects.
CMake
CMake is a tool to simplify the build process for development projects across different platforms. CMake automatically generates build systems, such as Makefiles and Visual Studio project files.
makeqpf
A tool to generate pre-rendered fonts for embedded Linux.
Meta-Object Compiler (moc)
Generates meta-object information for QObject subclasses.
User Interface Compiler (uic)
Generates C++ code from user interface files.

A tool used by Qt Developers to generate documentation for software projects.
qmllint
A tool, verifying the syntax validity of QML files.
qmlformat
A tool, automatically formatting the QML files in accordance with the QML Coding Conventions.
QML Profiler
Enables you to get the necessary diagnostic information, allowing you to analyze the application code for performance issues.
Qt Configuration Tool (qtconfig-gui)
A tool, providing features and tools for creating and building smaller Qt binaries.
Python Shiboken Wizard
A binding generator tool, which can be used to expose C++ projects to Python.
Qt Quick Compiler
Lets you process QML and JavaScript code at compile time, rather than at run time. This allows faster application startup and faster evaluation of bindings and functions.
Qt Quick Ultralight Compiler
Compiles QML files and graphical resources into C++ classes optimized for resources-constrained target platforms such as MCUs.
Qt Quick Ultralight Project Exporter
Exports Qt Quick Ultralight projects to project files for embedded IDEs such as Green Hills MULTI or IAR Embedded Workbench.
Qt AI Assistant
Qt AI Assistant is a coding assistant extension for Qt Creator IDE. Qt AI Assistant generates expert advise, QML code, Qt Test cases, and code documentation.
