Extract text from UI files
To convert your UI file to another format, you need Qt Designer or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "User Interface XML" file type, you need software like Qt Designer or a similar tool.
The .UI file extension primarily represents a User Interface Definition created by Qt Designer, a tool for designing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) within the Qt Framework. These files define the structure of application widgets, layouts, and forms using a structured XML format.
While .UI files are excellent for separating design from logic, they function as blueprints rather than executable applications. A common catch is that you cannot simply "double-click" a .UI file to run the interface; it must be compiled or dynamically loaded by a specific language binding. To integrate these designs into a working application, developers usually need to convert them into code formats like PY (for Python via PyQt or PySide) or H (C++ header files). For documentation or archiving, users may also seek to convert the visual representation into raster images like PNG or JPG, or the raw data into JSON for interoperability. Note that this extension is also used by game engines like Angelica 3D, Cocos2d-x, and Eternity Engine for layout definitions, which are proprietary and generally incompatible with standard text editors.
Convert.Guru analyzes your UI file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MAKE, TXT, XML, BTW, JPG, PDF, VERT, QML, QM, PY, MG, CODE and PYTHON files.
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 UI converter.
