PcbDraw
Convert KiCAD board files into clean 2D SVG drawings for pinout diagrams and documentation.
What is PcbDraw?
PcbDraw is a tool that converts KiCAD printed circuit board (PCB) files into clean 2D SVG drawings, ideal for creating pinout diagrams and documentation. It automates the process of generating visual representations of PCBs, making designs easier to understand than labeled photos or raw KiCAD files. The tool also includes utilities for creating population manuals and generating 3D board previews.
Hardware engineers, electronics hobbyists, and open-source hardware developers who use KiCAD and need to create clear documentation or pinout diagrams for their projects.
Developers choose PcbDraw because it automates tedious manual drawing tasks, produces professional SVG outputs, and integrates seamlessly with KiCAD workflows. Its additional utilities for population manuals and 3D previews add extra value for documentation and CI pipelines.
