Footprints
The KiCad footprint libraries are the individual .pretty directories. Each .pretty directory contains multiple .kicad_mod footprint files.
These footprints are best used in combination with the official symbol libs and 3d model libs.
Requirements
The files packaged here are intended for KiCad version 5 or nightly builds that support rounded rectangle and polygon pads.
Updating via Git
Users who wish to keep footprint libraries up to date can track the https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-footprints GitLab repository.
Contributing
Users who wish to contribute to the footprint libraries can submit a merge request at https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-footprints.
