To streamline this process, we initiated the development of Gerber2PNG, a web-based tool that can convert Gerber files from any EDA software into monochrome PNG files, ready for milling. Now, this tool supports most of the popular EDA software, including KiCad, Fusion 360, Altium, EasyEDA, Eagle, Proteus, and more, making it a convenient solution for our fabrication needs.

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
#### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Output PNG is blank**: Ensure your Gerber files are correctly exported from KiCad.
|
|
|
|
- **File upload error**: Check the file format and size limitations.
|
|
|
|
- **Incorrect alignment for double-sided PCB**: Verify that the top and bottom layers are correctly aligned before conversion.
