About Gerbv

Gerbv opens the files used to manufacture printed circuit boards: Gerber RS-274X layers, Excellon drill files and CSV pick-and-place files. It is a native Linux application that runs on many Unix platforms, and a Windows version is available.

It started as one of the utilities of the gEDA electronic design project. The core is a separate library, libgerbv, which other programs can use to parse, render and export Gerber data. Official releases are on GitHub, with recent automated builds on the homepage.

  • Reads Gerber, Excellon drill and pick-and-place files
  • Core library usable from other programs
