It can be opened and edited with Qt Creator, Qt's cross-platform integrated development environment.

Qt script files contain source code written for Qt Script, the scripting technology of the Qt application framework. The files are plain-text scripts rather than compiled applications.
Qt is developed by The Qt Company, and Qt Creator provides tools for working with Qt-based source code and projects. A .qs file may form part of a larger Qt application and normally requires a compatible application or Qt Script runtime to execute.
Qt Creator is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Qt Script is an older Qt technology, so newer Qt applications may use other scripting solutions instead.
Open the .qs file in Qt Creator to view or edit its script source. Qt Creator runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Opening the file does not necessarily run it. Execution requires a Qt application that supports the Qt Script code and its dependencies.
A Qt script file normally has no meaningful direct conversion format. Its source can be rewritten for another scripting language, but that is a manual programming task rather than a file conversion.
