Free Online EasyEDA Viewer — View PCB JSON Files in 3D
View EasyEDA Boards Outside the Editor
EasyEDA is a popular free PCB design tool, but sharing designs with others usually means exporting screenshots or PDFs. MakerSuite 3D lets you view exported EasyEDA JSON files in full 3D — directly in your browser, without any login.
How to View EasyEDA Files in 3D
- Open MakerSuite 3D — In EasyEDA, go to File → Export → EasyEDA JSON and save the .json file
- Open MakerSuite 3D — no signup needed
- Drag and drop the .json file onto the viewer
- Your board appears in 3D with components, tracks, and nets
See your EasyEDA board in 3D — just export and drop.

How to Export from EasyEDA
In EasyEDA Standard: File → Export → EasyEDA Source (JSON). In LCEDA (Pro): File → Export → EasyEDA format. Save the .json file, then drag it into MakerSuite 3D.
EasyEDA's Place in the JLCPCB Ecosystem
EasyEDA is a free in-browser EDA tool, but its real role is the front-end for JLCPCB's parts catalog and PCBA assembly service. When you place a part in EasyEDA, you can see its LCSC stock and JLCPCB assembly compatibility directly — pick from the LCSC "Basic Parts" library and the assembled PCB is dramatically cheaper than using "Extended" library parts. The JSON export captures that LCSC linkage in fields like jlcpcb_lcsc_id, which other PCB tools simply discard on import.
There are actually two EasyEDA branches: the original EasyEDA Standard, browser-based since 2014, and EasyEDA Pro (also called LCEDA Pro), a desktop and web app launched in 2022 with a different file schema. MakerSuite handles both. Standard exports use a tilde-separated string format wrapped in JSON, while Pro uses a fully structured JSON tree. Both come through with components, tracks, vias, pads, copper pours, and silk text intact, plus the LCSC ID metadata that lets the BOM panel pre-fill supplier results.
When sharing an EasyEDA board with someone outside the EasyEDA ecosystem, the right move is File → Export → JSON, then send the .json file. The recipient can view it in MakerSuite without registering for an EasyEDA account or installing a client. This matters for clients who want to review a design without onboarding into a Chinese-hosted SaaS — the JSON file is plain text, auditable, and works offline.
Migrating from EasyEDA
If you outgrow EasyEDA Standard's library limits and want to move to KiCad, the cleanest path is exporting the JSON, opening it in MakerSuite to verify the geometry, then using KiCad 7+'s built-in EasyEDA importer for the actual conversion. MakerSuite catches geometry corruption (rotated footprints, missing silk) before you commit to a one-way migration.
JLCPCB-specific note: when you order assembly through JLCPCB, the BOM and pick-and-place files they generate use LCSC IDs that match the EasyEDA component metadata. MakerSuite's BOM export preserves those LCSC IDs in the XLSX, so you can hand it back to JLCPCB for a re-quote without re-entering anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I export PCB files from EasyEDA?
In EasyEDA, go to File → Export → EasyEDA Source (JSON). Save the JSON file, then drag it onto MakerSuite 3D.
Does it support LCEDA Professional?
Yes. Both EasyEDA Standard and LCEDA Professional JSON exports are fully supported with the same features.
Can I search LCSC parts from EasyEDA boards?
Yes. The BOM table automatically searches LCSC, DigiKey, and Mouser simultaneously for real-time pricing and availability.
Is my EasyEDA design data kept private?
Yes. All parsing happens locally in your browser. Your JSON file is never uploaded to any server.
