KiPNG - Export PNGs right from KiCads PCB-Editor

This KiCad Plugin uses KiCads built in SVG export functionality and combines it with cairosvg rasterized it into a .png-Image. So the output is visually similar to the SVGs, but converted hastle free in one click. Settings include

  • the resolution in dots per inch (DPI),
  • whether edges should have a clear cut or be smoothed over, creating a gradient,
  • flipping the PCB to look at it from behind and of course
  • which layers to export and in what order.

Since the SVG export targets the file, the output will only include saved changes.

Very large resolutions may currently overwhelm your RAM.

Tested on Linux and Windows. If you are able to provide feedback on macOS, please do so.
