Did you convert png file to gerber ?
If so which software you are using for that ?

I draw pcb in Sprint Layout and then simply export it in gerber format.
I never heard that gerbers can be converted from png or any other similar formats?!
I posted earlier my .lay file which I draw in Sprint Layout. You missed it?
You can open it with Sprint Layout and export to gerber format as you wish.
Gerber format is standard.
If files are not corrupted in meantime; JLPCB simply MUST take them and process them further.

Ok, I think I know where the confusion is!
Yes, I used pcb draw from the magazine, resized it to real size and put it in Sprint Layout as background.
Then I draw the pcb by tracing the background. You can put any picture as background in Sprint Layout and make real layout file like that.
Then when all finished, I remove background, delete it from the Sprint Layout and only my drawings left as proper layout file.
And then I can export such layout in several other formats, for example as .BMP, or .JPG... BUT ALSO I can EXPORT the layout in gerber format.
In such case Sprint Layout is generating several gerber files, top copper layer, bottom copper layer, top silkscreen, bottom silkscreen, top solder mask, bottom solder mask ... etc
So it is not direct conversion from ".png" to gerber.
It is tedious job of drawing the same pcb again in some layout software.
And them exporting it in gerber format.
I think this is confusion and hopefully I cleared it up now?

Ok, the mistake was that I opened the file and was trying to upload extracted files, the proper way is downloaded file in zip format upload to JLCPCB.

Is there a free version of Sprint Layout available?

Hello Ivica, my name is Ireneusz, I am Polish, I have been interested in building detectors for over 34 years, I am currently 58 years old, I was interested in your adventure with the detector called Silver Star, how did this meeting end? I made Silver Star using coils such as Ma Polish HS3 in the form of two box during preliminary tests, it turned out to be a good device, I abandoned it for now, I will come back to it in some time, I am very curious about your observations.

Has anyone made it

Of course it worked, I changed the PCB, I used the HS3 coil because HS3 is also a Static and I know more about it than about Silver Star. now I'm busy building changes and testing changes in the ground of the new version of HS3, which blocked me from further work on changes and corrections of Silver Star, but I will be happy to read what others have done in the topic of Silver Star, because I am delighted with statics and their capabilities in searching for medium-sized deposits, as well as depths. Despite some inconveniences in use (Frequent reset), I am enchanted by this old but effective technique.
