# Additional Modules

Qt Add-On modules bring additional value for specific purposes. These modules may only be available on some development platform. Many add-on modules are either feature-complete and exist for backwards compatibility, or are only applicable to certain platforms. Each add-on module specifies its compatibility promise separately.

The Qt installers include the option of downloading the add-ons. For more information, visit the Getting Started with Qt page.

- Active Qt

  Classes for applications which use ActiveX and COM (Windows only).

- Qt Bluetooth

  Provides access to Bluetooth hardware.

- Qt GRPC

  Provides an ability to generate Qt-based classes from protobuf specifications used to communicate with gRPC® services.

- Qt Help

  Classes for integrating documentation into applications.

- Qt HTTP Server

  A framework for embedding an HTTP server into a Qt application.

- Qt Image Formats

  Plugins for additional image formats: TIFF, MNG, TGA, WBMP.

- Qt Labs Platform

  The experimental module that provides QML types for native platform extensions.
