Power BI Layouts Have Evolved: Download PBIR Files from the Gallery
How do I download a Power BI layout as a PBIR file from the gallery?
TL;DR. Open the PowerBI.tips Layouts Gallery, pick a layout, and download the PBIR project. Open that project in Power BI Desktop and replace sample visuals with your data. PBIR is the Power BI Project format, not a blank canvas start.
What is a PBIR file?
A PBIR file is a Power BI Project. It stores the report as editable project files you open in Desktop instead of starting from an empty page.
Where do I get free layouts?
Use the PowerBI.tips Layouts Gallery. Browse layouts, preview the design, and download the PBIR without leaving the gallery. Use the Get Free Layouts buttons on this page.
Can I change the layout after I download it?
Yes. Use it as-is, swap visuals, adjust the theme, or rebuild around your own data. It is a starting point, not a locked template.
How is the gallery different from the old Layouts library?
The old library was report templates with placements prepared. The gallery is the dedicated place to discover and download ready-to-use PBIR report designs.

A New Home for Power BI Layouts
For years, PowerBI.tips Layouts have given report builders a head start on structure, visual design, and page composition. That idea has now evolved into a dedicated gallery built for modern Power BI projects.
The new PowerBI.tips Layouts Gallery is the official place to browse layouts and download a PBIR file directly from the site.
Download a PBIR File and Start Building
PBIR files use the Power BI Project format, which stores a report as editable project files. Instead of beginning from a blank report canvas, you can download a layout from the gallery, open the PBIR project in Power BI Desktop, and start shaping it around your own data and business questions.
Each gallery download gives you a practical design starting point. Use it as-is, replace the sample visuals with your own, adjust the theme, or make the layout completely your own.
From Layout Templates to a Living Gallery
The original Layouts library focused on report templates with visual placements already prepared. The dedicated gallery carries that forward with a better way to discover and distribute ready-to-use Power BI report designs.
You can browse a growing collection of report layouts, preview the design that fits your use case, and download the PBIR project without leaving the gallery. It is a faster path from an idea to a report that is organized, clear, and ready for your data.
