Perfboard CAD Tool

Route perfboard wires and generate exact cut lengths before you solder.

PerfBoard is a free browser-based perfboard layout tool for electronics hobbyists, makers, and engineers. Place components on a virtual perfboard grid, route wires with Manhattan or diagonal paths, and export a cut sheet that shows wire lengths and cumulative bend points.

What PerfBoard does

  • Plan perfboard and protoboard layouts in the browser.
  • Place pin headers and common components on a drill-hole grid.
  • Route hookup wire with Manhattan and 45-degree diagonal segments.
  • Generate exact wire cut lengths and cumulative bend point distances.
  • Export solder-side guides, PDFs, CSVs, and clipboard-ready build data.

Who it is for

PerfBoard is built for people assembling one-off circuits, prototypes, and hobby electronics on perfboard. It is especially useful when you want cleaner wire routing, repeatable builds, and fewer bench-side mistakes.

Common use cases include synth modules, robotics control boards, test fixtures, educational electronics, and any perfboard build where wire length and bend accuracy matter.

Why builders use it

Stop guessing wire lengths

Measure wires before soldering instead of trimming by trial and error at the bench.

Route around real constraints

Plan around pin headers, spacing limits, and board geometry before touching the iron.

Build from a guide

Use solder-side and export views as a build reference when assembling or reviewing a layout.

Plain-text summary for crawlers and agents

PerfBoard is a free web app at perfboard.app. It helps users design perfboard layouts, route jumper wires, calculate exact cut lengths and bend points, and export build guides. The application runs in the browser and is intended for electronics makers, hobbyists, and engineers building circuits on perfboard or protoboard.
