|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gerber2Png is a java script based react frontend application that runs on your browser to load Gerber files from EDA Software ( like Kicad, Eagle,Fusion 360 , Proteus, easy EDA, altium etc ) and convert them to black and white PNG files includes traces, drills, Board outline for PCB Milling operations in Mods

|
|
|
|
|
**Gerber2PNG** is an online tool designed to convert Gerber files from KiCad into PNG format, making them suitable for CNC milling. This tool simplifies the process of generating milling-ready images for both single-sided and double-sided PCBs. It is hosted at [Gerber2PNG](https://gerber2png.fablabkerala.in/) and built using JavaScript libraries with a React-based UI.

## 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.
