  description

  EasyEDA Downloader is a Chrome extension for electronics and PCB designers who use EasyEDA, JLCPCB, and LCSC to source components for KiCad projects.
  
  The extension lets you download component data directly from EasyEDA, JLCPCB, and LCSC product pages and export it as KiCad-compatible schematic symbols, PCB footprints, 3D models, and datasheets when available.
  
  Derived from easyeda2kicad.
  
  It helps reduce manual library work and speeds up PCB design workflows when working with JLCPCB or LCSC parts.
  
  Key Features:
  • Download components from EasyEDA, JLCPCB, and LCSC
  • Export KiCad schematic symbols
  • Export KiCad PCB footprints
  • Export 3D models for mechanical verification
  • Download datasheets when available
  • Reduce manual work when building KiCad libraries
  
  Disclaimer:
  Generated library files may require manual review. Always double-check symbols, footprints, 3D models, and datasheets before use.
  
  Perfect for:
  • KiCad users
  • PCB designers
  • Electronics engineers
  • Hobbyists and makers
  • Open-source hardware developers

  Easy ECAD Downloader helps electronics engineers, PCB designers, makers, and KiCad users download ready-to-review ECAD assets from supported component distributor pages.
  
  Use the extension on supported JLCPCB, LCSC, Mouser, Farnell, element14, and Newark product pages to export available KiCad-compatible schematic symbols, PCB footprints, 3D models, and datasheets. It is designed to reduce repetitive library work, speed up component sourcing, and make it easier to build KiCad libraries from distributor and manufacturer part data.
  
  Instead of manually searching for CAD downloads, converting files, or redrawing footprints from scratch, open a supported component page, click the extension icon, review the detected part details, choose the assets you need, and download the generated KiCad output.
  
  Key features:
  
  • Export KiCad schematic symbols
  • Export KiCad PCB footprints
  • Download 3D models when available
  • Download datasheets when available
  • Supports EasyEDA-backed JLCPCB and LCSC part pages
  • Supports SamacSys-backed Mouser, Farnell, element14, and Newark CAD downloads
  • Organises output into KiCad-style library folders
  • Optionally saves selected files as separate downloads
  • Helps reduce manual KiCad library creation work
  • Useful for PCB design, electronics prototyping, open-source hardware, and component library management
  
  Common output files include KiCad symbol libraries, footprint files, `.pretty` footprint folders, STEP/WRL 3D model files, and PDF datasheets, depending on the source data available for the selected component.
  
  Easy ECAD Downloader is useful for:
  
  • KiCad users
  • PCB designers
  • Electronics engineers
  • Embedded hardware developers
  • Hobbyists and makers
  • Open-source hardware maintainers
  • Anyone sourcing components from JLCPCB, LCSC, Mouser, Farnell, element14, or Newark
  
  Important: exported library files should always be reviewed before use in production designs. Check pin mapping, pad numbering, footprint dimensions, polarity, orientation, courtyard and clearance assumptions, 3D model alignment, and datasheet accuracy before ordering PCBs or manufacturing hardware.
  
  This project includes work derived from easyeda2kicad and is maintained as an open-source browser extension.
