What this tool does

LTspice Viewer draws an LTspice .asc schematic in this browser and lists its parts, nets, simulation commands and SPICE netlist, ready to save as PNG, SVG, PDF or CSV.

How to use it

  1. Choose an .asc file, or drop it on the box. You can also choose a ZIP of the whole project folder. Nothing is uploaded.

  2. The schematic opens fitted to the screen. Drag to move around, scroll or pinch to zoom, and press Fit to see it all again.

  3. Tap a wire to light up every wire on that net and see which pins it joins. Tap a part to see its value and pins.

  4. Use Download PNG, SVG or PDF for a report, Netlist for a .net file, Parts CSV for a parts list in Excel, or Copy netlist.

Common uses

LTspice from Analog Devices is the free circuit simulator most electronics students, hobbyists and power supply engineers use. Its schematics are .asc files, and they travel everywhere: a lecturer shares the lab circuit, a forum answer attaches a fixed design, a colleague mails an op-amp filter, and Analog Devices publishes a ready-made demo circuit for many of its chips. The catch is that LTspice runs only on Windows and macOS. On a phone, a Chromebook, a Linux laptop or a locked office PC there is nothing to open the file with, and the .asc itself is just a list of coordinates. This page draws it in a few seconds anywhere.

The drawing follows the file exactly. Wires, junction dots, net labels, ground symbols, input and output ports, comments and SPICE directives sit where LTspice put them, and the common parts are drawn from their own outlines: resistors, capacitors, polarised capacitors, inductors, diodes, Zeners, Schottkys, LEDs, voltage and current sources, behavioural sources, controlled sources, switches, NPN and PNP transistors, MOSFETs, JFETs and op-amps, in every rotation and mirror. Reference names and values are printed next to each part, just as you see them in LTspice.

Tap any wire and the whole net lights up, with a line telling you its name and every pin on it, such as Q1.C, RC.B and Cout.B. That makes it quick to check how a circuit hangs together without tracing lines by eye. Below the drawing you get a parts list grouped by type and value (for example R1, R3, R4: Resistor, 10k), the simulation commands such as .tran, .ac or .step, the notes written on the sheet, and the full SPICE netlist with unnamed nets numbered N001, N002 like LTspice.

Parts from LTspice's own chip library, such as a switching regulator IC, keep their drawing in a separate .asy symbol file that is not inside the .asc. They show as a dashed box with the part name, and the page tells you which symbol files are missing. Add those .asy files with the schematic, or drop a ZIP of the project folder, and they are drawn properly and included in the netlist.

Private, and the limits

Your schematic never leaves your device. The .asc and .asy files are read by code running in this tab, and the images, PDF, netlist and CSV are made on your computer as well. There is no upload, no account and no AI model, so unreleased designs and coursework stay private. Closing the tab clears everything.

This is a viewer, not a simulator. It does not run the circuit or show waveforms, and you cannot edit the schematic. Text that LTspice shows rotated (such as labels on sideways parts) is drawn level so it stays readable, and fonts can differ slightly from LTspice. Hierarchical sheets open one at a time when you add their .asc files together.

FAQ

How do I open an .asc file without LTspice?
Choose the .asc file on this page. The schematic opens in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on Windows, Mac, Linux, a Chromebook, Android or iPhone, with nothing to install.
Is my circuit uploaded anywhere?
No. Your schematic is opened by this browser tab alone. TaskNinja never sees the circuit, and nothing is kept once the tab is closed.
Why is one part drawn as a dashed box?
Its symbol lives in a separate .asy file, usually from LTspice's lib/sym folder or the project folder. Add the .asy file with the schematic and the part is drawn and added to the netlist.
Can I save the schematic as an image or PDF?
Yes. Download PNG or SVG saves the whole schematic in black and white for a lab report or datasheet. The PDF adds the parts list, the simulation commands and the netlist.
Can this page run the simulation?
No. It shows the schematic and builds the SPICE netlist. Download the netlist and run it in LTspice or the free ngspice simulator.
Does it open LTspice XVII and LTspice 24 files?
Yes. Files saved as UTF-16 by LTspice XVII, and UTF-8 or ANSI files from LTspice IV, 24 and 26, all open.
