Gerber Editor Online

The online Gerber editor ingests Gerber RS-274X and Excellon drill data to provide layer-aware editing and validation without desktop CAM software. It builds a layer model from uploaded files, enabling precise operations on copper, soldermask, and silkscreen features while preserving aperture references. Users can edit geometry, adjust coordinates, and verify that edits remain within manufacturing constraints. The tool emphasizes data integrity, with server-side parsing and robust export routines to ensure production-ready results.
Conceptually, the service separates data representation from UI concerns: a consistent data model represents each layer, and edits are applied to that model before re-serializing to Gerber and drill formats. This enables reliable cross-layer checks such as alignment between copper features and drill positions and detection of orphan apertures. The platform supports batch edits across multiple files and can generate a manifest describing the produced data set for fabrication houses.
Beneficiaries include designers needing quick fixes, freelancers providing small PCB edits, and contract manufacturers conducting minor revisions on supplied data. Unique value lies in strict Gerber parsing, multi-file layer management, and automated, export-ready data bundles that minimize re-spins. Core features include multi-file upload, layer mapping, geometry edits, aperture editing, and integrity validation with export to a zip bundle and a per-file manifest.
