+pyside6-uic
+===========
+
+.. note:: This tool is automatically called by :ref:`pyside6-project`
+   so you don't need to call it manually. *Qt Creator* will take care
+   of this step as well while executing a project.
+
+``pyside6-uic`` is a command line tool for converting ``.ui`` files into ``.py``
+files, with the objective of using application designs as Python classes.
+
+The tool is a wrapper around the `uic`_ tool, which was originally
+designed to generate C++ code, but it also has Python support.
+
+Even though the equivalent of ``pyside6-uic`` is running ``uic -g python``
+we strongly recommend you to rely on ``pyside6-uic`` in order to avoid
+mismatches between versions for the generated code.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Once you have designed your application with :ref:`pyside6-designer`,
+you can transform your ``.ui`` file with the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    pyside6-uic your_file.ui -o ui_your_file.py
+
+It is important to use the ``-o`` option to generate the Python file with the
+conversion, otherwise you will receive all the output as stdout in your terminal.
+
+The structure of the generated Python file will be similar in all cases,
+and you will get one class called ``Ui_TheNameOfYourDesign(object)`` that
+is in charge of positioning all the elements like your design.
+
+To use this Python file, you should follow our tutorial in
+:ref:`using_ui_files`, but in summary, it is mainly importing the class
+from the generated file and setting it up in your code:
+
+.. code-block:: Python
+
+    self.ui = Ui_TheNameOfYourDesign()
+    self.ui.setupUi(self)
+
+For additional options, you can use ``pyside-uic -h`` in order to get
+more information related to relative imports, absolute imports, using resources,
+translations, etc.
+
+.. note:: Remember that you need to have a class corresponding to the base
+    form you selected in :ref:`pyside6-designer`, a ``QWidget``, or ``QDialog``,
+    or ``QMainWindow``, etc, in order for ``setupUi`` to work. Check
+    :ref:`using_ui_files` for more information.
+
+.. warning:: Do not modify the content of the generated Python file from your
+    ``.ui`` file, otherwise everything will be lost when you re-generate it.
