Browser / VS Code / Android

KiCad Online

Review linked schematics, PCB layouts and 3D assemblies, inspect nets and parts, work through a BoM and record findings against the saved design. Formerly KiView / KiCad Visual Review.

Independent of the KiCad project. Public-design screenshots; store versions may differ. Next preview: simpler Fast PI and review conversations →

Browser library / Beta

KiCad WebView

IRCA full assembly in the KiCad WebView demonstration

Put a read-only schematic, PCB, 3D board or fabrication viewer inside an engineering note or website. Explore IRCA’s 3D assembly tour and computed Fast PI study, with its linked PCB layout and schematic.

Open-source SDK under MPL-2.0. The advanced site demo uses a separately maintained bundle; check the license supplied with the copy you use.

Engineering utilities

Calculators & interface references

Circuit, power and RF calculations, solar generation and battery discharge models, with interface reference sheets.
