Android PCB viewer: View and review PCB data on Android devices.
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.

Mobile viewing first

The Android release is for people who need to open PCB data on a phone or tablet for engineering review, field communication, manufacturing checks, and issue discussion.

Design-side and manufacturing-side formats

PCBAtlas import paths cover KiCad, DSN, ODB++, IPC-2581 XML, and recognized manufacturing package folders.

Clear boundaries

PCBAtlas is not a PCB layout editor. It is positioned for viewing, organization, inspection, review, and delivery.
