| # QMK Configurator
 | |
| 
 | |
| [](https://config.qmk.fm/)
 | |
| 
 | |
| The [QMK Configurator](https://config.qmk.fm) is an online graphical user interface that generates QMK Firmware `.hex` or `.bin` files.
 | |
| 
 | |
| It should be noted that Configurator cannot produce firmwares for keyboards using a different controller than they were designed for, i.e. an RP2040 controller on a board designed for pro micro. You will have to use the command line [converters](feature_converters#supported-converters) for this.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Watch the [Video Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-imgglzDMdY). Many people find that is enough information to start programming their own keyboard.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The QMK Configurator works best with Chrome or Firefox.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::: warning
 | |
| **Note: Files from other tools such as Keyboard Layout Editor (KLE), or kbfirmware will not be compatible with QMK Configurator. Do not load them, do not import them. QMK Configurator is a DIFFERENT tool.**
