What this conversion is for
Bring the supported geometry and source-defined connections of an XML Eagle board into KiCad. Supply the board, not only its companion schematic.
Eagle to KiCad project (board and schematic) converter
Convert supported Eagle files to KiCad project (board and schematic). Select more outputs to get them in the same job.

Shared editor engine for supported board and authored schematic profiles. Coverage and independent qualification are reported separately.
The contents of your file determine which information can be preserved. Each result includes its own conversion notes.
Frequently asked questions
Does this route accept Fusion Electronics boards?
Use an Eagle-compatible XML .brd export from Fusion Electronics. A Cadence Allegro .brd is a different format despite sharing the extension. Keep related project files together when uploading an archive.
Can I convert Eagle to KiCad project (board and schematic)?
Convert supported Eagle files to KiCad project (board and schematic). Select more outputs to get them in the same job. Shared editor engine for supported board and authored schematic profiles. Coverage and independent qualification are reported separately.
What will I receive?
A package for each successful output, plus conversion notes. If an output cannot preserve the required information, its result explains why.
Can I select several outputs?
Yes. Upload once, select the outputs you need, and follow the job using its private link. Free, no account.
What should I know about this conversion?
The contents of your file determine which information can be preserved. Each result includes its own conversion notes.
Advanced: request exact engine outputs
Prepare your Eagle files
Upload an XML .brd board from Eagle or Fusion Electronics. Keep its related design files together if uploading a project archive.
Check the KiCad project (board and schematic) result
Check package origins, mirrored footprints, layer mapping and net assignments. Recheck zones and source-specific policies in the destination application.
Compare board dimensions, footprint rotation, mirrored components and pin connections. A schematic-only archive cannot establish routed copper.
Planning this conversion
- PCB file extensions: identify BRD, PCB, Gerber and netlist files
Identify ambiguous .brd, .pcb and .dsn files before conversion. Learn which PCB files contain layout, manufacturing layers or electrical connections.
