PCBAtlas
Large boards. A closer look.
From dense routing to whole-board layers and 3D context. See real PCBAtlas workspaces on iPad, Mac, and iPhone.
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 inspection, Info for board and revision details, Estimate for local quotes, and 3D for spatial review on Apple platforms.
04
Unlock Plus when delivery matters
Apple App Store export/share actions may require Plus; use the purchase center to buy or restore the entitlement. The official Android Public Beta has no billing or purchase screen.
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.
2D
Reduce noise on complex boards
Use visibility controls, object filters, and search to narrow down nets, pads, vias, footprints, and rule-related objects.
Board and revision information
Document, revision, and status summaries
On Apple platforms, Info holds board, document, revision, and diagnostic information; Estimate holds the current revision’s local manufacturing estimate.
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 requires valid board geometry. Component bodies are generated from footprint facts, with source and approximation details in Info. Missing optional model files remain source records; actual parsing failures and invalid stackups are reported. Estimated shapes are not mechanical certification.
PCBAtlas Plus
Review for free, unlock the full workspace once
Apple App Store builds include free review and up to three user documents; Plus unlocks unlimited documents and licensed export/share features. The official Android Public Beta APK is fully unlocked and has no purchase flow.
PCBAtlas
Current format coverage
This page summarizes the import, view, and delivery paths available in the current product.
Input / Import
Import paths available now.
KiCad .kicad_pcb
Create a PCB document or append a revision; review in 2D and open 3D when the source provides the required board geometry.
KiCad .kicad_pro / .kicad_sch
Open supported schematics or complete KiCad projects with sheet navigation, object search, details, and canvas picking; linked sheets require their dependencies.
DSN
Supported as a design-side import; can create a workspace or append a revision.
IPC-2581 XML
Supports design-side and manufacturing-side input; import asks you to choose intent.
ODB++
Supports manufacturing archives and directories.
Manufacturing package directories
Supported when the app recognizes the package structure.
SES
SES is not a regular new-library import. Session or comparison operations require a verified base design; an advertised comparison capability does not imply a standalone import button.
View coverage
Review surfaces available now.
2D
Use 2D Export for board and manufacturing outputs. The 3D controls offer PNG capture and GLB export of visible meshes; GLB is not a manufacturing format.
Board and revision information
On Apple platforms, Info holds board, document, revision, and diagnostic information; Estimate holds the current revision’s local manufacturing estimate.
3D
3D requires valid board geometry. Component bodies are generated from footprint facts, with source and approximation details in Info. Missing optional model files remain source records; actual parsing failures and invalid stackups are reported. Estimated shapes are not mechanical certification.
Output / Delivery
Output paths available now.
PNG
2D review capture export.
PDF
2D review capture export.
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 outputs from the current workspace content.
Apple App Store export/share actions may require Plus; use the purchase center to buy or restore the entitlement. The official Android Public Beta has no billing or purchase screen.
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
Use 2D for inspection, Info for board and revision details, Estimate for local quotes, and 3D for spatial review on Apple platforms.
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
Discuss issues using board and revision information, object details, and captures, without requiring every reviewer 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?
Use File for supported PCB/schematic files, IPC-2581 XML/ZIP, ODB++ archives, and recognized Gerber/Drill packages. Folder creates a document from a valid KiCad project; manufacturing-directory revision actions depend on an existing document’s capabilities. Format support does not guarantee every file or conversion.
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?
PCBAtlas focuses on review and delivery and also offers supported local PCB and schematic edits. Editability depends on the source, object, and save validation; it does not replace a complete PCB layout tool.
What is free, and what does Plus unlock?
Apple App Store builds include free review and up to three user documents; Plus unlocks unlimited documents and licensed export/share features. The official Android Public Beta APK is fully unlocked and has no purchase flow.
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 as a direct APK download.
Which files can I import today?
Use File for supported PCB/schematic files, IPC-2581 XML/ZIP, ODB++ archives, and recognized Gerber/Drill packages. Folder creates a document from a valid KiCad project; manufacturing-directory revision actions depend on an existing document’s capabilities. Format support does not guarantee every file or conversion.
Is 3D available for every format?
3D requires valid board geometry. Component bodies are generated from footprint facts, with source and approximation details in Info. Missing optional model files remain source records; actual parsing failures and invalid stackups are reported. Estimated shapes are not mechanical certification.
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?
Apple App Store export/share actions may require Plus; use the purchase center to buy or restore the entitlement. The official Android Public Beta has no billing or purchase screen.
