In this PyQt6 article we want to learn How to Convert PyQt6 Designer UI to PY File, so we already have talked that Qt Designer is part of the Qt framework, which is widely used for developing cross platform applications with graphical user interfaces. Qt Designer provides a drag and drop interface for designing UI layouts and arranging widgets, and this makes it accessible to developers of all skill levels.
How to Convert PyQt6 Designer UI to PY File
To convert Qt Designer UI file to PY file, first you should design your PyQt6 GUI Application with Qt Designer, i already have a lesson on PyQt6 Qt Designer, you can check that.
Open your Qt Designer, we have created this simple design and we want to convert that to Python file, that we can execute and run the code.
First of all you need to save your file, the file extension will be .ui, i have saved the file at name of mywindow.ui.
Now you can use this command to convert your Qt Designer UI file to Python PY file.
