PCB Editor Online

This tool provides a web-based PCB editor that supports schematic import or creation, footprint management, and multi-layer board definitions. Users design, route, and verify nets within a browser, benefiting from versioned projects and collaborative features. The system maintains strict alignment between schematic intents and physical layout, ensuring manufacturing-readiness. It outputs standard fabrication data and BOM for downstream fabrication processes.

Conceptually, a project combines board geometry, layer stack, footprints, and electrical constraints. It performs netlist processing, routing (auto or manual), and real-time design-rule checks to prevent spacing, clearance, or copper-pour violations. It then generates fabrication artifacts such as Gerber, drill files, and assembly data, with optional IPC-2581 or ODB++ formats for formal exchanges. Advanced capabilities support impedance-controlled routing, differential pairs, and stack-aware routing. Validation steps confirm nets and hints to improve manufacturability.

Use cases span education, freelance hardware development, and small teams delivering prototypes. The tool differentiates itself with integrated design-rule templates, project versioning, and a straightforward export pipeline that reduces hand-offs to manufacturers while preserving design intent and traceability.
