The gerber file extension is commonly used in PCB industry for various PCB designs.

A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, or traces, etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate.

It is also referred to as printed wiring board (PWB) or etched wiring board. A PCB populated with electronic components is a printed circuit assembly (PCA), also known as a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).


How to open:

Such file types can be usually opened in various PCB editors.

How to convert:

Possibly can be exported to other Gerber/CAD formats.
