PcbDraw is a Python CLI tool that converts KiCad PCB board files into attractive 2D SVG drawings suitable for pinout diagrams. It also includes a Populate utility for creating HTML/Markdown assembly manuals and can render 3D board previews programmatically.
Use cases
- generate pinout diagrams from kicad pcb files
- convert kicad board to svg drawing
- create pcb assembly instructions in markdown
- render 3d preview of pcb in ci pipeline
- make nice board illustrations instead of photos
- document hardware project pinouts automatically
When to choose
- you design boards in KiCad and need polished 2D visuals for documentation
- you want automated, repeatable board rendering in CI
- you maintain assembly or population guides for a hardware project
When to avoid
- you use EDA tools other than KiCad
- you need full ECAD editing or design-rule checking rather than rendering
- you cannot install Inkscape or librsvg dependencies
