Free Online Gerber Viewer

Open the Gerber (RS-274X) and Excellon drill files from KiCad, Altium, Eagle, EasyEDA or any other PCB tool and see the board in 3D before you order it. Everything runs in your browser — the files are not uploaded.

Drop your Gerber ZIP, folder or files here
ZIP, RAR or 7z of the whole set · a folder · loose .gbr / .gtl / .drl … files
100% local — nothing leaves your computer

What it opens

  • The whole manufacturing set in one go — a ZIP, RAR or 7z archive, a folder, or the loose files
  • Gerber RS-274X, including X2 file attributes: draws, flashes, arcs, filled regions and aperture macros (the rounded-rectangle pads KiCad 6+ writes)
  • Excellon drill files, plated and non-plated, in inches or millimetres
  • Layers are recognised from KiCad, Altium/Protel, Eagle, EasyEDA and generic file names, or from the X2 attribute inside the file; a mapping dialog shows the result and lets you fix any layer it could not place

What you see

  • The board in 3D — copper, solder mask, silkscreen, drilled holes and the outline, top and bottom
  • Each layer on its own in a 2D view, the way the fab will image it
  • Nets inferred from the copper: Gerbers carry no net names, so connected traces, pads and vias are grouped and you can click one to highlight it
  • Measurements between any two points

Check it before you order

The same files can go straight through a manufacturability check against the published limits of JLCPCB, PCBWay, HQPCB 华秋, JiePei 捷配: trace width and spacing, drill size, annular ring, copper-to-edge clearance, silkscreen, and missing files such as no drill file or no outline. Checks that the files cannot answer are marked as not evaluated rather than passed.

Where the Gerbers come from

  • KiCad — PCB Editor: File → Fabrication Outputs → Gerbers, then Generate Drill Files in the same dialog
  • Altium Designer — File → Fabrication Outputs → Gerber Files, and NC Drill Files for the holes
  • Eagle / Fusion Electronics — the CAM Processor (your fab's CAM job, or the default one)
  • EasyEDA — Fabrication → PCB Fabrication File (Gerber); the downloaded ZIP already holds the drill files

FAQ

Are my Gerber files uploaded?

No. The files are read and drawn in your browser tab; nothing is sent to a server.

Do I need to unzip the files first?

No. Drop the ZIP (or RAR / 7z) your PCB tool or fab export made. A folder or a handful of loose files works too.

What if a layer is not recognised?

The layer mapping dialog opens with every file and the layer it was given. Set the ones marked unknown by hand and apply.

Can it open the design file instead of the Gerbers?

Yes. KiCad, Eagle, EasyEDA, Altium, PADS, P-CAD, Protel 99, Allegro boards open directly — the design file also brings components, net names and the BOM, which Gerbers do not carry.

Already have the design file?

KiCad, Eagle, EasyEDA, Altium, PADS, P-CAD, Protel 99, Allegro boards open directly, with components, nets and the BOM.
