What is a PCB Gerber File?

For any printed circuit board to be successfully manufactured, critical design data must be accurately translated from the schematic and layout design files into a format ready for the PCB fabrication process.

This special file type containing all relevant layer by layer graphical content is known as the Gerber file. As the standard interface file between PCB designers and manufacturers, getting the Gerber output correct is essential.
