DWG to DXF
Free your drawings from the closed DWG format — get an open DXF that virtually every CAD, CAM and laser/plasma package can read. Processed and immediately deleted.
How well does this work? An honest answer
This converter is built on free, open technology, and its strength depends on the age of your file. Drawings saved as AutoCAD 2013 or older: very reliable — in our testing, real-world 2D production drawings converted with no visible difference. The 2018 format is hit-or-miss, especially with 3D solids and complex objects — check the result carefully. Anything newer than that: not recommended; save the drawing as an older DWG version first (or ask the sender to), then convert.
Also good to know: a conversion can take a few minutes for large drawings, and conversions run one at a time — at busy moments your file briefly waits in line. Leave the page open until your download appears.
Is my drawing uploaded and stored?
The conversion needs our EU-hosted server, but your file only exists there in a temporary folder that is deleted the moment the conversion finishes — succeed or fail. Nothing is stored, logged or inspected.
What DXF version comes out?
A standard ASCII DXF (R2000-era dialect) — deliberately chosen because virtually everything reads it: CAD packages, CAM software, laser and plasma cutters, and viewers.
Can I convert DXF back to DWG here?
Not yet — writing DWG files reliably is much harder than reading them, and we'd rather not offer it until it meets the same standard as this direction. Most CAD packages can save a DXF as DWG themselves.
