Convert GDS to GERBER

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert GDS to GERBER?
Yes - GDS converts to GERBER.

Gerber (.gbr) is the PCB-fabrication format; GDSII is for IC masks. A conversion only makes sense for specific MEMS/packaging steps and needs a dedicated tool - it is not a routine IC-design operation.
