Open the KiCad source you already have
Import .kicad_pcb boards directly or keep .kicad_pro and .kicad_sch files together in a project folder or archive. PCBAtlas stores the imported source in a revision-aware workspace.
KiCad viewer for Android
View KiCad projects on Android phones and tablets.
PCBAtlas opens supported KiCad project, schematic, and PCB files on Android. Bring in .kicad_pro, .kicad_sch, or .kicad_pcb data, keep related revisions together, and inspect the design from a touch-friendly review workspace.
PCBAtlas provides a practical KiCad viewing path on Android without trying to reproduce the full desktop editor.
Android
Check a board without carrying a laptop
Use an Android phone or tablet to pan and zoom, control visible layers, search objects, inspect selection details, and revisit the same board revision at the bench or on site.

Project-aware schematic review
Supported projects can expose schematic sheets, source documents, libraries, and settings instead of treating every file as an unrelated drawing.
Clear editing boundary
PCBAtlas is a viewer and review workspace rather than a replacement for desktop KiCad. Use the full KiCad application for complete schematic capture, routing, and layout authoring.

FAQ
The fastest way to reduce confusion is to say the boundaries and paid unlocks plainly.
Is there a KiCad viewer for Android?
Yes. PCBAtlas can open and review supported KiCad .kicad_pro, .kicad_sch, and .kicad_pcb data on Android phones and tablets.
Is PCBAtlas the full KiCad editor on Android?
No. PCBAtlas focuses on mobile viewing, inspection, revision organization, and delivery. Full KiCad authoring remains a desktop workflow.
Can Android open a complete KiCad project archive?
PCBAtlas supports ordinary KiCad project archives and project folders when their structure is recognized, along with standalone board and schematic files.
Does the Android KiCad viewer work without a browser upload?
Yes for normal import and review. The core PCBAtlas viewer path is local-first and does not require sending the board to an online viewer.
