Datasheet to Schematic Symbol Converter

The slowest part of schematic capture is the part that isn’t in your library. PartSpark converts the datasheet itself — PDF, URL, or photo — into a schematic symbol with every pin named, typed, and placed on the correct side, and generates the matching footprint in the same pass.

  • Reads the complete pin table, not a summary — MCUs and FPGAs included
  • Pins carry names, electrical types, and sides for ERC-friendly symbols
  • Matching IPC-7351B footprint generated in the same pass
  • Works from a PDF, a URL, or a photo of the page

Live generator

Convert a datasheet now

Attach the PDF or paste its URL. The AI reads the full pin table — hundreds of pins are fine — and builds the symbol plus footprint.

How to use it

Three steps, start to library.

  1. [01]

    Attach the datasheet

    Upload the PDF, paste its URL, or attach photos of the pin table and package pages. Up to six files, 20 MB each.

  2. [02]

    Check the extraction

    The pin map lists every pin the AI read from the pin table. Compare it with the datasheet, especially multi-function and power pins, and correct anything in the refine box.

  3. [03]

    Export

    Download the symbol for KiCad, EAGLE, Altium, or Allegro. The matching footprint comes with it in the same generation.

Limits to know

What it won’t do for you.

  • Scanned or image-only PDFs work less reliably than text PDFs. If pins are missing, attach a clear photo of the pin table page.
  • If the datasheet doesn’t dimension the package, the generator stops instead of guessing. Attach a clearer drawing or the vendor land-pattern note and try again.
  • Parts with several package options are generated for one package. Name the package (for example “TQFP-32”) when it matters.
  • Free accounts get the symbol and footprint. 3D STEP/WRL models are on paid plans.

The guide to checking a generated symbol and footprint before fabrication shows real cases where these limits mattered.

Example output

Real parts, checked against the datasheet.

These were generated from the part number alone, then every pin and pad was checked against the manufacturer datasheet. Download the files and open them in KiCad yourself.

FAQ

Common questions

What file types can I upload?
PDF datasheets and images (photos or screenshots of the relevant pages). Up to six files, 20 MB each, 22 MB combined per generation.
Does it only make the symbol?
No — every generation produces the schematic symbol and the PCB footprint together, pin-linked, with an optional 3D STEP model on paid plans. You export whichever pieces you need.
