How do I open a .PcbLib file?

Drop a .PcbLib file onto Analyser at https://lab.valjdakosta.com/ and it opens directly in your browser - no upload, no account and no software to install. Open Altium Designer schematics, circuit boards and projects in the browser. Analyser reads the OLE compound-file streams of schematic documents (.SchDoc) and symbol libraries (.SchLib), and PCB documents (.PcbDoc) and footprint libraries (.PcbLib), and rebuilds the geometry as an interactive vector view: schematic symbols, wires and pins, or the board outline, copper, pads, tracks and arcs - with pan, zoom and per-layer visibility toggles. It surfaces the component part numbers, datasheet and supplier links, the pad table and the layers used, reads the project manifest (.PrjPcb) with its member documents, and decodes the SamacSys ECAD Model wrapper (.epw). Nothing is uploaded.

Can I open a .PcbLib file online for free?

Yes. Analyser is a free online .PcbLib opener and viewer that runs entirely in your browser - your .PcbLib file never leaves your device, so there is nothing to upload and no software to install. It even works offline once installed.

What is a .PcbLib file?

A .PcbLib is an Altium Designer PCB footprint library - the land patterns (pads, courtyard and silkscreen) that components solder to. Created and opened by Altium Designer.

Did you know: A footprint’s pads store their size, shape and drill on every layer, so the same .PcbLib serves SMD and through-hole parts.
Analyser handles .PcbLib alongside related formats such as .SchDoc, .SchLib, .PcbDoc and more.
In Analyser's format library, .PcbLib sits in the 3D / CAD / engineering category.
