PCBAtlas
From loose PCB files to managed workspaces
PCBAtlas turns design and manufacturing data into reusable PCB workspaces with viewer surfaces, revision history, and delivery paths, instead of scattering every update across separate folders.
01
Open real project data
Open KiCad .kicad_pro projects, .kicad_sch schematics, .kicad_pcb boards, DSN, IPC-2581 XML, ODB++ archives or directories, and recognized manufacturing package folders on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Android.
02
Keep revisions in one context
Append revisions, branch, or duplicate from the same workspace without losing the project thread.
03
Review inside one workspace
Use 2D for the main inspection path, Data for document and status summaries, and board-level 3D only when it adds value.
04
Unlock Plus when delivery matters
Import and review for free. Unlock PCBAtlas Plus when you need unlimited PCB workspaces, captures, source delivery, and converted outputs.
PCBAtlas
Built for real PCB viewing and review work
PCBAtlas is more than a format-name list with a viewer label. It is a local workspace shaped around PCB viewing, review, delivery, and issue communication.
Library
Keep multiple revisions in one PCB workspace
Store project revisions inside the same managed workspace so you can return to history, preserve context, and avoid loose-file sprawl.
2D
2D PCB viewer tuned for dense boards
Designed around smooth zooming, panning, box select, object picking, and quick information lookup on real PCB data from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Android device.
Schematic
Project-aware schematic viewing
Open KiCad projects and schematics with sheet hierarchy, whole-project search, selection details, and canvas pick for symbols, pins, wires, and labels.
Plus
Reduce noise on complex boards
Use visibility controls, object filters, and search to narrow down nets, pads, vias, footprints, and rule-related objects.
Data
Document, revision, and status summaries
Inspect the current workspace, revision, stats, status summaries, and local Quick Estimate / Revision Quote information in one place.
board-level 3D
Go to 3D only when spatial context helps
Open 3D for documents that form a board session and use Top, Bottom, Isometric, and Fit viewpoints to understand board-level structure.
3D supports board-level display for documents that form a board session; renderable imported component models are preferred when available, with proxy bodies or issue records when model assets are missing or unsupported.
PCBAtlas Plus
Review for free, unlock the full workspace once
The free tier supports import, review, and up to three PCB workspaces. Unlock Plus for unlimited workspaces, PNG/PDF captures, original-source delivery, converted outputs, and share workflows.

Original source package delivery
Returns the managed project files for the current revision, including DSN, KiCad, IPC-2581, ODB++, and Gerber / Drill sources when present.
Converted output
Generates DSN or KiCad 8 outputs from the current workspace content.
Output and delivery paths require the PCBAtlas Plus unlock. Export starts from 2D in current releases.
PCBAtlas
Why a native local PCB viewer instead of a web viewer?
Web PCB viewers are useful when fast upload and casual sharing are enough. PCBAtlas is for workflows where board files should stay local, revisions need structure, and review needs to continue across mobile and desktop devices.
- Open PCB files on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android without uploading them to a browser-based viewer
- Keep design-side and manufacturing-side revisions in a local library
- Review dense boards with native 2D interaction
- Inspect object details and copy useful details
- Export captures, source packages, or converted deliverables when needed
- Carry one PCB viewer and review workflow across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android
The core review path is local-first. Optional AI-related capabilities still depend on your configured AI service, network access, and sharing settings.
PCBAtlas
Made for review, delivery, and field checks
PCBAtlas does not flatten every task into “just another viewer.” It maps to common PCB review goals with concrete working scenarios.
Design review
Open KiCad or DSN design data, inspect objects and layers in 2D, narrow the visible problem space with Plus controls, and keep multiple revisions together.
Manufacturing handoff
Import IPC-2581 or ODB++ manufacturing data, keep the original source package, and export the current managed revision when it is time to deliver it again.
QA and issue communication
Use Data summaries, object information, and review captures to discuss problems without asking every stakeholder to open a full EDA environment.
Field and meeting review
Use your iPhone or iPad as a PCB viewer during soldering, lab work, supplier calls, or meetings, then organize the workspace and complete delivery on Mac.

FAQ
The fastest way to reduce confusion is to say the boundaries and paid unlocks plainly.
Can I view PCB files on an iPhone or iPad?
Yes. PCBAtlas lets you open and review supported PCB design and manufacturing files on iPhone and iPad, including KiCad projects, schematics, boards, DSN, IPC-2581 XML, ODB++ archives or directories, and recognized manufacturing package folders.
Is PCBAtlas available as a PCB viewer for Mac?
Yes. PCBAtlas supports Mac as well as iPhone, iPad, and Android. Mac requires macOS 14 or later, and the same local workspace approach carries across supported devices.
Is PCBAtlas a PCB layout editor?
No. PCBAtlas is a PCB viewer and review workspace for organization, inspection, and delivery workflows; it does not replace a full PCB layout tool.
What is free, and what does Plus unlock?
The free tier lets you import, review, and keep up to three PCB workspaces. PCBAtlas Plus unlocks unlimited PCB workspaces, PNG/PDF captures, original-source package delivery, converted outputs, and share workflows. Appending a revision to an existing workspace stays inside that same workspace context.
Which platforms are supported?
PCBAtlas currently supports iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android. iPhone and iPad require iOS/iPadOS 17.0 or later; Mac requires macOS 14 or later. Android is available from Android APK.
Which files can I import today?
Current import paths include KiCad .kicad_pcb, DSN, IPC-2581 XML, ODB++ archives or directories, and recognized manufacturing package folders. SES is supported only when attached to an existing revision.
Is 3D available for every format?
No. 3D supports board-level display for documents that form a board session; renderable imported component models are preferred when available, with proxy bodies or issue records when model assets are missing or unsupported.
Does PCBAtlas upload board files to a web viewer?
No for the core viewer path. PCBAtlas is local-first and does not depend on browser upload for normal PCB viewing and review. Optional AI-related capabilities still depend on your AI service setup, network access, and your sharing settings.
Why does export open a purchase screen first?
Export and delivery paths are controlled by the PCBAtlas Plus unlock. If Plus is not unlocked on the device yet, the purchase center opens before export continues.
