Frequently Asked Questions About Supported Formats

What file formats can I open without installing desktop software?

You can open over 40 file formats including STEP (.step, .stp), IGES (.iges, .igs), STL, OBJ, GLTF, GLB, 2D DXF and DWG drawings, 3D PDF documents containing U3D or PRC data, Gerber RS-274X PCB manufacturing layers (.gtl, .gbl, .gts, .gbs), and Excellon drill files (.drl).

How to view Gerber .gtl, .gbl, and .drl PCB files online for free?

Simply drop your Gerber files or your complete manufacturing ZIP/RAR package directly into PDF & 3D Enterprise Tools. The app decompresses and visualizes all copper, solder mask, silkscreen, and drill layers in real time without sending your hardware IP to any server.

Can I open 3D PDF documents with U3D or PRC models on my phone?

Yes! Our application features a dedicated 3D stream parser that extracts embedded Universal 3D (ECMA-363) and Product Representation Compact (ISO 14739) geometry directly from PDF files and renders them in 60 FPS WebGL on Android, Windows, and modern web browsers.

Are confidential files uploaded to a cloud server during processing?

No. All file parsing, CAD tessellation, and OCR text editing execute 100% locally in your device's memory using client-side WebAssembly. Zero files are uploaded or stored remotely.
