winget install --id=SoftwareCompanions.GerbView -e

Gerbview is a powerful viewer and converter that will visualize your design, on the screen or in hardcopy. You no longer have to wait for a prototype circuit board to see your true design. GerbView supports both RS-274D and RS-274X Gerber formats, and you can use it to convert your older Gerber files to the new RS-274X extended format. The newer extended Gerber format contains embedded aperture information and minimizes the risk for errors during the manufacturing of the PCB. With GerbView you can export individual layers, or the whole workspace, to any of the supported raster formats, which includes TIFF, JPEG, PNG and BMP. The resolution and number of colors used for the conversion can be set by the user. In GerbView you work with a workspace that can contain one or more files (layers) of any of the supported file formats. The workspace can be saved for later use. The workspace will reference your design files, so only need to reload the workspace to see the whole design. You can set the size of this workspace to one of the preselected paper sizes, or to a custom size. Fully working 30-day evaluation versions. You can turn the evaluation into a full product by entering a serial number.

GerbView is a powerful viewer and converter designed to visualize and manipulate PCB designs with precision. It supports both RS-274D and RS-274X Gerber formats, enabling users to convert older Gerber files to the extended format for enhanced accuracy during manufacturing.

Key Features:

View, print, and convert Gerber, ODB++, PDF, and Excellon files with ease.
Export layers or entire workspaces to raster formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and BMP, with customizable resolution and color settings.
Work within a flexible workspace that supports multiple file types, saving and reloading designs for efficient project management.
Add annotations such as text, barcodes, images, and symbols, which can be burned into Gerber layers for permanent integration.
Measure distances, areas, and perimeters; highlight apertures; and query tool information for precise design analysis.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for PCB designers, manufacturers, and CAM engineers, GerbView streamlines workflows by providing accurate visualization and conversion tools. Its support for extended Gerber formats minimizes manufacturing errors, while its annotation and measurement features enhance collaboration and quality control.

GerbView is a reliable solution for anyone working with PCB designs, offering seamless integration into the design and production process.
