Questions

How big is the Boost Converter PCB?

It measures 50.3 × 39.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Boost Converter use?

20 parts, built around the MBRS340. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Boost Converter KiCad files?

From the omarothman2004/Boost-Converter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/Boost Converter.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/Boost Converter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Boost Converter design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
