About QML files

The .QML extension serves two distinct, high-value technical communities: developers using the Qt Framework and GIS professionals using QGIS.

  1. Qt Modeling Language (Developer): This is a declarative source code file used to design user interfaces for desktop and mobile applications. It defines elements like buttons, animations, and logic using a JSON-like syntax integrated with JavaScript.
  2. QGIS Layer Style (GIS): This is an XML-based settings file that stores symbology (colors, line widths, labels) for map layers in QGIS.

The Problem:
For Qt developers, .QML files are raw text. You cannot "double-click" them to see the final application interface without compiling the project in Qt Creator. Sharing the visual design requires converting the code logic into a static PDF or image representation.

For GIS users, a .QML style file is locked to the QGIS desktop environment. If you need to publish your map to a web server (like GeoServer) or transfer styles to ArcGIS, the native QML format will not work.

The Solution:

Convert.Guru analyzes your QML file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted QLR, SLD, LYR, QMLC, XML, QMD, QGZ, TXT, ZIP, QMBL, QM, QRC and QSS files.



The QML Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our QML converter.
