About GBR files

A .GBR file primarily functions as a Gerber format file, the global standard for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. Developed by Ucamco, it contains 2D vector image data detailing copper layers, solder masks, and drill data. Secondary uses include GIMP image brush files and CAD/CAM cutter patterns for textiles. You can open PCB .GBR files with KiCad, Autodesk EAGLE, or dedicated Gerber viewers. GIMP brushes open natively in GIMP. The raw PCB .GBR format is notoriously difficult for non-engineers to read. It requires specialized, often heavy EDA software to view. Sharing these files with clients, project managers, or procurement teams usually results in compatibility errors because web browsers and standard OS viewers cannot open them. For visual review or client approval, convert .GBR to PDF or SVG. For quick web sharing, convert to PNG. When sending to manufacturers, you typically bundle multiple .GBR files into a ZIP archive. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.

FAQ

If you want to convert GBR file to DXF, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT or DB, you can use KiCad or similar software from the "PCB Manufacturing Vector Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to GBR, try KiCad or another comparable tool in the "PCB Manufacturing Vector Data" category.



The GBR Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our GBR converter.
