# Designing UIs

> How to: Design UIs

To create intuitive, modern-looking, fluid user interfaces (UI), use Qt Quick and Qt Design Studio.

Converting UI Projects to Applications | Converting a project that has a .qmlproject file to one that has a .pro file.
Qt Quick Designer | A visual editor for QML files (.qml) and Qt Design Studio UI files (.ui.qml).
UI files | Limitations of Qt Design Studio UI files (.ui.qml).
Using QML modules with plugins | Using C++ plugins to expose custom components to Qt Quick applications.

Use the QML live preview to preview a QML file or an entire Qt Quick application on the desktop, as well as on Android and embedded Linux devices. The changes you make to the UI are instantly visible to you in the preview.

If you need a traditional user interface that has a clear structure and enforces a platform look and feel, use Qt Widgets and the integrated Qt Widgets Designer.

Adding Qt Widgets Designer Plugins | Adding widgets to Qt Widgets Designer by creating plugins that extend Qt applications.
Qt Widgets Designer | A visual editor for Qt Widgets.
