# QMK Configurator
[![QMK Configurator Screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/anw9cOL.png)](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.
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.
!> **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.**
Please refer to [QMK Configurator: Step by Step](configurator_step_by_step.md).
