AI PCB routing that respects your design rules
Let the AI lay down the copper. Describe the constraints — clearance, layer count, fab profile — and PCBEditor routes traces that pass DRC the first time.
Auto-routing has been a feature of EDA tools for decades, but until recently the results were rarely better than a careful human pass. AI changes the trade-off — instead of greedy shortest-path heuristics, the router reasons about the board the way an engineer would, and produces layouts you'd actually keep.
PCBEditor's auto-router runs in the browser, respects your DRC profile (JLCPCB, PCBWay, OSHPark, or custom), and surfaces any net it can't complete so you can step in manually.
What you get with AI PCB Routing
Fab-profile aware
Pick JLCPCB, PCBWay, OSHPark, or define your own min trace / clearance / via — the router never violates them.
Chat-refined
Don't like a routing decision? Ask in plain English. "Route VBUS on the top layer with thicker traces" and the router re-plans.
Multi-layer ready
Handles 2-layer and 4-layer boards. Vias placed where they make sense, not because the heuristic ran out of room.
Free in the browser
No license, no install. Open a board, click route, export Gerber.
How it works
- 1
Generate or import a schematic
Describe your circuit in plain English, or import an existing project.
- 2
Place components
Use AI-assisted placement, or arrange parts manually.
- 3
Set your design rules
Pick a fab profile (JLCPCB, PCBWay, OSHPark) or enter your own constraints.
- 4
Run the AI router
PCBEditor lays down copper traces respecting your rules.
- 5
Review and refine
Ask the AI to re-route specific nets, then export to Gerber or KiCad.
