What is an AI part generator?

An AI part generator creates the two library assets every PCB design needs for a new component: the schematic symbol and the PCB footprint. Instead of redrawing pins and pads by hand from a datasheet, you give the generator a part number, datasheet PDF, URL, or image, and the AI extracts the pinout, package, and land pattern to build both files for you, already linked together.

Making custom parts is one of the slowest jobs in electronics design. A 48-pin microcontroller symbol plus its QFN footprint can take an hour in a library editor; the generator turns that into a couple of minutes of review. It is free to use every day and works with the tools you already have: KiCad, EAGLE, Altium, and Allegro.

How it works

  1. Describe the part. Paste a manufacturer part number or datasheet link, or drop in the PDF or a photo of the pinout page.
  2. The AI reads the datasheet. Pin numbers, names, electrical types, package dimensions, and the recommended land pattern are extracted and cross-checked.
  3. Download your files. Get a linked schematic symbol and PCB footprint bundle for KiCad, EAGLE, Altium, or Allegro, with full pin and pad tables so you can verify everything before it touches a board.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI part generator free?

Yes. Signed-in accounts get 3 free part generations a day. Pro plans raise that to 10 a day and Max to 100. There is nothing to install, the generator runs in your browser.

What can I generate a part from?

A manufacturer part number (like STM32F103C8T6), a datasheet URL, an uploaded datasheet PDF, or an image such as a screenshot of the pinout page. The AI finds and reads the datasheet for you.

Which EDA tools can I export to?

Every generation exports as ready-to-import bundles for KiCad, EAGLE, Altium, and Allegro. The schematic symbol and PCB footprint stay linked, so pin 1 on the symbol is pad 1 on the board.

Can it create a footprint straight from a datasheet PDF?

Yes. The AI reads the package drawing and recommended land pattern from the PDF and builds the footprint from the documented pad dimensions, then shows you the full pad table to verify.

How accurate are the generated symbols and footprints?

Generations are AI-assisted and meant to be reviewed. You get the complete pin and pad tables plus any warnings, so you can check the output against the datasheet and run DRC in your EDA tool before production use.

How is this different from the ProtoFlow desktop app?

The web generator makes individual library parts. The free ProtoFlow desktop app goes further: it generates entire schematics from a plain-English description, imports real components from LCSC, DigiKey, and Mouser, runs DRC/ERC, and exports complete KiCad projects.

Need more than single parts? The free ProtoFlow desktop app generates complete schematics from plain English, and our AI schematic generator comparison covers how the wider tooling landscape fits together. The docs explain the full workflow from prompt to KiCad export.
