footprints.buildwithtrace.com is a catalog, distribution hub, and community platform for EDA PCB footprints — ~24,690 footprints across ~214 libraries: 15,428 from buildwithtrace/trace-kicad-footprints-lib plus 9,262 from CERN. It is a thin client: browsing is served from a committed JSON index, and generation/persistence is proxied to the Trace backend. Footprint-only — there is no symbol code here.

Data model

Footprints have no categories. They are organized by library (the .pretty lib) and free-text tags. The home page and /browse/[library] group by library, and the homepage “Browse by Library” grid uses the top libraries by count.

​
Sources

Both Trace and CERN footprints are merged into one index. Each footprint records its source (trace | cern); on id collisions, Trace wins de-dupe. Raw downloads are only available for Trace footprints (CERN falls back to clipboard reconstruction) — see Clipboard & Download.
