Why we recommend it
Sharing a KiCad design with someone who doesn't have KiCad installed usually means exporting static PDFs that lose all interactivity. KiCanvas keeps the schematic and board interactive in a browser tab.
Strengths
- Free and open source under MIT. Interactive pan/zoom on real schematics and PCB layouts, no account or install, easy to embed for sharing a design.
Keep in mind
- Viewer only — it doesn't edit KiCad files, so it's for reviewing and sharing a design, not designing one. Limited to KiCad's file formats; doesn't read other ECAD tools' native files.
