No need for powerful computers. See how EasyEDA lets you design and build circuits in your browser and get them made with one click.
Most professional CAD software needs powerful hardware to run well. But this is changing. Many electronics CAD tools are moving to the cloud, making them easier to access from older systems and better suited for remote collaboration. EasyEDA (Latest updated on 8th April, 2025) is one such tool, along with platforms like flux.ai and Fusion 360.
EasyEDA runs directly in the browser or as a desktop app for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The Online Editor doesn’t require installation, and it allows engineers to store and share their work in the cloud. Teams can collaborate in real time, track changes, and access the same data securely from anywhere.
The software is available in three versions—Standard, Professional, and an offline client. For beginners, the Standard version is often a good starting point. One user said, “Most features can be picked up in just a few minutes showing how easy it is for new users to get started with PCB design using this tool.”
EasyEDA combines schematic capture, PCB layout, and simulation in a single web-based platform. Engineers working on embedded systems, hardware, or electrical circuits can move from concept to prototype without switching between tools.
A shared component library is one of its most useful features. As one user pointed out, “The value of the shared component library is that it includes many unique parts that may not be available elsewhere.” This community-built database helps users create schematics faster and reduce the time needed for manual part creation.
EasyEDA also supports one-click manufacturing through its integration with LCSC for components and JLCPCB for PCB production. Manufacturing files are automatically matched to the design, making it possible to go from schematic to delivery without handling files manually.
Another practical feature is its compatibility with other EDA tools. EasyEDA supports importing files from KiCad, Eagle, and others. One user shared, “EasyEDA works on Windows, Mac, and Linux highlighting its wide platform support.” The Online Editor adds further flexibility for those working across different operating systems or locations.
The tool includes built-in support for real-time collaboration and design data management. It integrates with PLM, ERP, OA, and PDM systems, helping teams manage BOMs and production files in sync. This makes it suitable for both individuals and hardware teams managing production workflows.
EasyEDA is free to use and allows commercial projects without restricting features. A paid version is available for engineers who need extra services like private storage or faster support, but the core editor stays the same. As one user mentioned, “The paid service does not change the editor itself and users can use both the Standard and Professional editions side by side.”You can design online or download the software for use.
