amazing GUIs
Visual TFT is going to transform the way you look at designing user interfaces. An intuitive environment and drag-and-drop components are the building blocks of your creativity. Focus on the functionality of your design, while the compiler generates the code in the background. Visual TFT software is merged with our compilers and ready to help you on your way.
It’s easy to love Visual TFT!

Our support team is always available – you can rely on our help while you are developing. The software license guarantees free product lifetime technical support.
17 Supported graphics controllers
The Visual TFT currently supports 17 graphics controllers from leading manufacturers. You can be a part of the process by letting us know what graphics controllers you wish to see supported next, by using our helpdesk and submitting a ticket.
Many display sizes and 2 touch screen types
Visual TFT supports a total of 17 TFT controllers and many different display sizes, from 131x131 to 800x600 pixels. The most popular ones are the 320x240 TFT displays running on ILI9341controller. This display is found in many embedded devices worldwide. All MikroElektronika multimedia boards have this display integrated, so you’ll have all the hardware you need to get started. You can also order TFT displays separately from MikroElektronika’s online store.
Support for powerful FTDI FT8x and FT81x
Visual TFT also supports FTDI chip™ - the latest EVE GUI Platform and FT8x and FT81x families of graphics controllers. These powerful devices allow for sophisticated forms of human-machine interaction and more satisfying user experiences, including video playback. EVE integrates display, audio and touch onto a low cost, easy-to-use, single-chip solution. The EVE family has an object-based structure (where objects can be images, fonts, etc). This offers you an easy way to design more effective GUIs for TFTs, with all the display, audio and touch functionality included. Visual TFT is the first software in the world to provide full support for many of EVE’s powerful features like sound, transparency and anti-aliasing fonts. There are many new components available for GUI design, which are natively supported in the controller itself.
Natively supports all MikroElektronika hardware
Visual TFT supports all our development and multimedia boards, so you will find all the hardware you could possibly need in one place. Each board has a hardware pattern, a configuration template with hardware connections for TFT and touch screen, and you can do all necessary settings with a single click.
As easy as drag-n-drop
The Visual TFT Drag-n-drop development environment helps you to spend less time programming, allowing you to focus on functionality and design.
Powerful Touch Input
Introducing touch screen input with Graphical GUI in your device, will open a whole new potential for user’s interactive participation.
Merged with our compilers
Three major compiler groups are currently supported: mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal for PIC, dsPIC, PIC32, AVR, ARM and FT90x. This means that no matter what compiler you will write your project in, source code generated by Visual TFT Tool will be integrated smoothly.
Intuitive interface
The Visual TFT Interface is really easy to use, and implements standard intuitive behavior, so you will feel like using any other vector graphic editors. But we have mixed functionalities from both worlds: world of design and world of programming. There are several palettes of most useful components that you can use in your application. Just drag a component onto a pixel grid display screen and it will be drawn instantly. Use Object Inspector to edit component properties and to assign desired events.
Unlimited memory with external resources
Do you need more space for your images and fonts? Do you want to create image slideshows, or to even play a video from MMC/SD Card? With new Resource file feature, Visual TFT software brings you all this and much more. If this option is selected, after code generation, Visual TFT will store all of your images and fonts in the resource file and will optimize them as much as possible for faster utilization. You just have to copy that file onto your MMC/SD card and you are ready to go.
Comprehensive documentation
The help file is the best place to start if you want to get to know the Visual TFT software. The easy-to-read format and detailed explanations of every functionality and feature will make you an expert in no time.
SingleClick settings
Nobody likes complicated settings and options at the beginning of each project. With new hardware templates, single click on a dropdown list item does all the work for you. Everything will be automatically set.
