Convert a file to GTL
To convert other file formats to the "PCB Manufacturing File" file type, you need software like Autodesk EAGLE or a similar tool.
About GTL files
A .GTL file contains 2D vector image data used by manufacturing machines to etch the top copper layer of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Based on the industry-standard Gerber format (specifically RS-274X or X2), it is exported by PCB design software like Autodesk EAGLE and EasyEDA. The primary problem with .GTL files is their highly specialized nature. They are practically useless to anyone without a dedicated Gerber viewer or heavy CAD software. If you need to share a PCB design for review with a client or mechanical engineer, they will not be able to open it natively on Windows or macOS. To fix this, you must convert the file into standard viewing formats. For easy sharing and document archiving, convert .GTL to PDF. If you need to embed the layer design into a web page or presentation, convert it to PNG or SVG. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.
Convert.Guru analyzes your GTL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert GTL file to DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT, X_T or X_B, you can use Autodesk EAGLE or similar software from the "PCB Top Copper Layer" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SLDASM, DGN, PRT, IAM, X_B, CATPRODUCT, SLDPRT, RVT, ASM, DWG, CATPART or DXF files to GTL, try Autodesk EAGLE or another comparable tool in the "PCB Top Copper Layer" category.
The GTL 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 GTL converter.
