Frequently asked questions
Is KiCad free to download?
Yes. The Download button sends you to github.com, the developer's official site, where KiCad is available to download. Appimo doesn't host or modify any files.
Is KiCad safe?
KiCad downloads directly from the developer. As always, scan the installer with your antivirus and choose Custom setup to skip any bundled extras.
