Horizon EDA for Windows

Product snapshot

Horizon EDA is a no-cost Electronic Design Automation package built for Windows. It delivers a full PCB design workflow, allowing engineers and hobbyists to take projects from concept through to board layout within a single environment. The package is focused on simplifying common PCB tasks while remaining accessible to users of varying experience levels.

Primary capabilities

• Schematic capture and editing tools that let you draw, annotate, and validate circuit diagrams with ease.
• Component libraries and parts management to organize, search, and reuse device information across multiple projects.
• Integrated PCB layout features that connect schematic data to board routing, and support the end-to-end design cycle.

Advantages for designers

Horizon EDA brings multiple stages of PCB development under one roof, reducing the need to juggle separate applications. Its intuitive interface helps speed up routine operations such as placing parts, wiring nets, and generating manufacturing outputs. By centralizing parts and schematic data, the tool promotes a cleaner, more traceable design process and improves team collaboration.

Recommended alternative

If you need a simple, free option for transferring design files or collaborating outside the EDA environment, consider SHAREit (free). While it’s not a direct replacement for a PCB design suite, it can be helpful for quickly sharing project files between machines and team members.
