Gerber RS-274X, X2 and X3
Gerber viewer and editor for iPhone and iPad
Inspect a single Gerber layer or a complete PCB fabrication set with precise touch navigation, layer controls, measurements, component and net search, editing and professional exports.

A mobile workspace for real Gerber data
AGBoard reads Gerber RS-274X as well as X2 layer and object attributes. X3 component data can provide references, values, packages, mount types, rotations and net names directly from the Gerber set.
Open individual layers, a Gerber job file or a fabrication archive. Inner copper, solder mask, silkscreen, paste, profile and drill data stay separated so the board remains easy to inspect. A Gerber or drill file that stops before its end command is reported as possibly cut short — an interrupted download, usually — and what it holds is still shown.
What AGBoard reads
Layer identity
X2 file attributes identify copper, mask, silkscreen, profile and other manufacturing roles. Zuken photoplot sets are recognised through their .phl index, so each .phd film lands on the side of the board it belongs to. Zuken CR-8000 sets are read from their .fpl photo list, which names the copper and solder-paste films. A file with an unusual extension (OrCAD, VeriBest, gEDA…) is recognised by its content.
X3 intelligence
Search component references, packages and nets when the Gerber set contains X3 assembly data.
What you can do
- Show, hide, reorder, lock and recolor every layer
- Measure pad spacing, clearances, angles and board dimensions
- Trace physically connected copper without a separate netlist
- Move, duplicate, resize, rotate and panelize editable geometry
- Inspect the reconstructed board in an interactive 3D view
- Export Gerber, Excellon drill, .gbrjob, PNG, PDF and CSV results — or convert the set to ODB++, IPC-2581 or DXF
Inspect on iPhone and iPad
The same touch-first tools stay available from a phone or a larger iPad workspace.
Frequently asked questions
Can AGBoard open a complete Gerber set?
Yes. Open a .gbrjob file, a fabrication archive or the related layers together to build the complete board stack.
Are Gerber X2 and X3 attributes supported?
Yes. X2 attributes classify layers and objects; X3 data can add components and net names when present in the files.
Do my Gerber files leave the device?
No. Gerber parsing, rendering, editing and export are performed on your iPhone or iPad.
