KiCad footprint collection This is a collection of all the KiCad footprints I know of. If you know of any more, please let me know! (Ideally by opening a pull-request or at least an issue on this repo.) These footprints are regularily checked with the Github Action workflow to make sure KiCad can load them.

Footprints - GitHub Pages

KiCad Libraries Footprints This page contains footprint libraries for KiCad version 5, which are very old. They are not appropriate for newer versions of KiCad. If you are using a modern KiCad version, see the library downloads available on the KiCad website. The KiCad version 5 footprint libraries are the individual .pretty directories. Each .pretty directory contains multiple .kicad_mod ...
