What this conversion does

Input

Gerber

Gerber (RS-274X) is the standard format for PCB copper, solder mask and silkscreen layers.

Output

PNG

PNG is a lossless raster image with an alpha channel. It suits sharp screenshots and line art that must not blur.

Use this converter when you have a Gerber file and the next step needs PNG, for example documents, the web and further image editing. The conversion is handled by a dedicated tool, so you do not have to install a desktop application to move a single file.

Limitations

  • Conversions run in the browser and share the memory your device gives the page. Very large files are better handled on a desktop or with a cloud task.
  • Raster output is fixed at the resolution you choose. Zooming in later will not reveal more detail.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gerber to PNG free?

Yes. This pair links to a converter that runs in your browser, and single-file conversions use a free daily allowance. No account is required to start, and you can register later for a larger allowance.

Do my files leave my device?

This pair links to a local browser converter, so the file is processed on your device and is not uploaded. Cloud processing, where a tool uses it, is labeled on the tool page and stores results only temporarily.

Can I convert several files at once?

Single-file conversion is available to everyone. Batch conversion is a paid capability, and cloud tasks have their own daily or monthly quotas. The pricing page lists the current limits.

What should I check after converting to PNG?

Check the resolution and background transparency at full zoom.
