You may open your .brd file with other programs. However, this depends on the file type. The file type is always listed in the properties of the file. All you need to do is to right-click the file on your PCB. Then select “properties” and check for “Type of File.”

If you are using a MAC computer, just right-click the file, select “More Info,” then check under “Kind”.

However, this depends on the format. Also, some files may not work with these programs. Your .brd file will open in binary format if it isn’t compatible.
