About

Convert DWG and DXF drawings online

RunConvert's CAD converter changes AutoCAD drawings between DWG and DXF, and turns them into PDF, SVG, PNG, JPG and other formats. Upload a drawing, choose the output and download it - no AutoCAD licence required.

Use DWG to PDF to share a drawing with someone who doesn't have CAD software, DWG to DXF to open it in another CAD program, and DXF or DWG to SVG for laser cutters, plotters and websites. PNG and JPG are handy for quick previews in emails and documents.

Lines, layers and dimensions are kept as closely as the target format allows. Complex drawings with custom fonts or external references may look slightly different after conversion.

Which CAD format should you choose?

dwg
AutoCAD's own format, for editing in AutoCAD and compatible software.
dxf
The exchange format that almost every CAD, CNC and laser program can read.
