Somebody emailed you a DWG and you do not own AutoCAD. Drop it here and get a print-ready PDF back — or DXF, PNG or SVG. Reads DWG r11 through r2018. No install, no account — five files a day free.

This usually takes a few seconds.
Just want to look at a drawing? The free browser viewer parses DXF entirely on your machine — nothing is uploaded at all.
Know the output you want? Go straight to DXF to PDF, DWG to SVG or DWG to DXF — or see all the free tools.
Black-on-white plot at 300 DPI — what you send a contractor, a client or a plan reviewer.
Open interchange format every CAD program reads and writes. Stays fully editable.
Drop into a report, an email, a slide deck or a work order.
Infinite zoom without pixelation — for the web, or for Illustrator and Figma.
Need DWG out? The CADdillo editor exports r2000 DWG, which every version of AutoCAD opens. Open the editor.
Most people who receive a DWG are not drafters. You are a contractor, a facilities manager, a shop owner, a project manager — and a vendor just sent you a file you cannot open. Converting it should take fifteen seconds and cost nothing.
Need to resize, crop or convert an image before you trace it? imageinseconds.com does that in the browser, free, with no upload — and turns a set of images into one multi-page PDF.
Drop your .dwg file on this page, choose PDF, and download the result. CADdillo reads DWG r11 through r2018 and plots the drawing to a print-ready PDF — black lines on white paper, the way a CAD sheet is supposed to print. You get five conversions a day with no account and no software install.
No. That is the whole point of this tool. AutoCAD costs roughly $2,030 a year and AutoCAD LT about $500, and you do not need either one just to turn a drawing someone emailed you into a PDF. CADdillo does the conversion in the browser with nothing to install.
Yes. The plot uses CAD plotting convention rather than screen convention: black geometry on a white background with the drawing’s own lineweights honored. It is a plot, not a screenshot of a dark CAD window — so it prints and reads correctly on paper.
From a DWG or DXF you can produce PDF (print-ready sheet), DXF (editable CAD), PNG (image for documents) and SVG (scalable vector). DWG output is available inside the CADdillo editor, written as r2000 so every version of AutoCAD opens it.
No, and it is worth knowing why. DWF is a published-plot format — a finished, view-only output, not a CAD drawing. It does not carry the editable geometry a DWG or DXF does. If someone sent you a DWF, ask them for the source DWG or DXF; you will get a far better result and a file you can actually edit.
Five free conversions a day with no account, up to 10 MB each. A free account (no card) lifts that to 30 MB and removes the daily limit. The uploaded file and its converted output are deleted immediately after the response is returned — they are transient artifacts, never stored.
Plotting to PDF, PNG or SVG renders every entity in the drawing, so time scales with drawing complexity — a 60,000-entity facility plan takes roughly a minute, while a small detail sheet is nearly instant. Converting to DXF is a format transcode rather than a plot, so it is much faster regardless of size.
Yes — convert to DXF and open it in CADdillo, where you get real drafting tools and Dillo Bot, an AI that drafts changes when you describe them in plain English. PDF, PNG and SVG are output formats, so those are for sharing and printing rather than editing.
The converter is free forever. The editor is where it gets interesting.
