Qt Design Studio is a UI design and development environment that enables designers and developers to prototype and develop complex and scalable UI rapidly.

Qt Design Studio is a single tool used by both designers and developers. That alone makes collaboration between the two a lot simpler and more streamlined: Designers can look at the graphical view, while developers can look at the QML code. With this workflow, designers can have their Photoshop designs running on real devices in minutes!

Qt Design Studio features in more detail:

  • Qt Photoshop Bridge – Create your UI design and UI components in Photoshop and import them into Qt Design Studio. This is an advanced Photoshop plugin that exports your designs to Qt Design Studio, where it is translated into QML.
  • Qt Sketch Bridge – Create your UI design and UI components in Sketch and import them into Qt Design Studio. This is an advanced Sketch plugin that exports your designs to Qt Design Studio, where it is translated into QML. Since Qt Design Studio 1.3 it has support for symbols.
  • Timeline-based animations – Creating advanced animations was never simpler. The timeline-/keyframe-based editor lets designers create pixel-perfect animations of any type without having to write a single line of code.
  • QML Live Preview – Run and preview your application or UI directly on the desktop, Android, and Boot2Qt devices. See how your changes affect the UI live on your target device in minutes!
  • QML Visual Effects – Apply out-of-the-box visual effects to your designs, e.g. blur, colorize, glow, and more. You can even animate the effects with the Timeline editor.
  • QML Shape Items – Several out-of-the-box shapes, i.e. Pie, Arc, Triangle, etc., are ready for prototyping and building custom QML visual elements.
  • Manage and create custom re-usable components – Turn your Photoshop layers into reusable components for different projects with but a few clicks.
  • and many more… e.g. managing layouts and states with ease
