Keep the drawing.
Recover the editable data.

We trace circuit schematics from paper, PDFs and images into editable KiCad documents for maintenance, repair, revision and future engineering work.

SCHEMATIC DIGITIZATION

Careful tracing, with uncertainties kept visible.

We recreate circuit symbols, wiring, reference designators, signal names and cross-page connections from the source drawing. Handwritten revisions can be included in the agreed scope.

Faded or missing information is marked for confirmation rather than silently treated as certain. Checking against a physical board is a separate service.

PUBLISHED WORK EXAMPLE

Source drawing → editable schematic.

Anonymized paper schematic before CAD tracing
Original paper/PDF schematic, anonymized.
Anonymized circuit schematic traced in CAD
Traced CAD schematic, anonymized.

Published images are redacted to protect customer, product, drawing and circuit information.

Start with a sample.

  1. Review the source

    Page count, size, legibility and handwritten changes.

  2. Agree scope and price

    Formats, checking requirements and treatment of unclear sections.

  3. Trace and review

    Review the PDF, resolve queries and receive the agreed editable files.

Discuss your drawings →

If no schematic remains, PCB reverse engineering may be the appropriate starting point.
