CircuitRecover

Recover legacy circuit data.
Eliminate manual redraw.

Convert schematics, PDFs, PCB imagery, and electronics artifacts into machine-readable circuits and netlists.

Recover usable design data from legacy or non-digital sources, then move it into modern engineering workflows for simulation, analysis, and redesign.

The Problem

Legacy circuit data is not usable

Critical electronics designs are often locked in scanned schematics, PDFs, paper documentation, or partially reconstructed teardown notes. These formats cannot be simulated directly, imported cleanly into EDA tools, or analyzed programmatically. Engineers are forced to recreate circuits that already exist.

This work is slow, error-prone, and expensive.

Manual recreation

Engineers redraw circuits by hand into CAD tools, spending hours on work that already exists in analog form.

Error-prone re-entry

Manual transcription introduces connectivity errors that propagate into simulation and downstream analysis.

Archive shelves of aging technical binders and rolled blueprints

Stranded design assets

Archived schematics and documentation sit unused because they cannot feed modern engineering workflows.

The Solution

Recover circuits from any source

CircuitRecover converts visual and physical circuit artifacts into structured, usable circuit data. It recovers connectivity, components, and circuit structure from sources that were never meant for modern analysis pipelines.

Recover circuit data, then use it in the tools your team already trusts.
