About
GerbView is a software application primarily designed for viewing, printing, and converting PCB design files, particularly Gerber and ODB++ formats. It offers a comprehensive set of features for visualizing, analyzing, and manipulating these files, making it a valuable tool for PCB designers and manufacturers.
GerbView allows users to open and display Gerber (RS-274D and RS-274X), ODB++, Excellon, PDF, DXF, and HPGL/2 files. Both RS-274D and RS-274X Gerber formats are supported, and you can use GerbView to convert your older Gerber files to the new RS-274X extended format.
GerbView includes a comparison tool to highlight differences between design revisions, aiding in version control and quality assurance.

About
ProtoFlow is an AI-native desktop electronic design automation (EDA) tool for schematic capture and PCB design. Describe a circuit in plain language to create an editable first draft, search real electronic parts and footprints, inspect datasheets, clean up wiring, and continue manually in familiar schematic and board editors. ProtoFlow supports ERC/DRC review, 3D board inspection, Git-backed versioning and visual diffs, comments and collaboration, plus manufacturing outputs including Gerber, drill, BOM, and placement files. Designs remain normal editable geometry, and users should verify symbols, footprints, connections, and manufacturing data before production. ProtoFlow can read and write native KiCad files and export to established EDA workflows. A free plan is available without a credit card, with paid options for higher AI usage. It is built for hardware engineers, makers, students, educators, researchers, and electronics startups.
