Free DWG to DXF converter

Convert a DWG to a clean modern DXF that every copy of AutoCAD opens. Reads DWG r11 through r2018. Drop one file in — no install, no signup, no watermark, and your drawing is deleted the moment it converts.

Checking converter…

5 free conversions a day, no account needed. Create a free account for more and files up to 30 MB.

Need to view a drawing without converting or uploading it? Open it in the free browser viewer — it parses DXF entirely on your machine.

Cutting the part on a CNC? Once you have the DXF you can export GRBL G-code from it — free, with real cutter compensation.

About the conversion

Opens any DWG ever made — outputs a DXF anything can read

DWG is Autodesk’s binary format; DXF is the open interchange format every CAD program reads. Converting DWG to DXF frees the drawing from version-lock — open it in CADdillo, LibreCAD, BricsCAD, DraftSight or any AutoCAD.

Drawing arrived as a photo or scan instead of a DWG? Resize or convert the image first at imageinseconds.com — free, in the browser, nothing uploaded.

Answers

DWG to DXF, answered

How do I convert a DWG to DXF for free?

Drop your .dwg file on this page and CADdillo converts it to a clean modern DXF you can download. It reads DWG r11 through r2018 and returns a DXF that every version of AutoCAD, LibreCAD, BricsCAD and DraftSight opens. A single small file needs no software install.

What DWG versions can I convert?

The converter reads DWG from r11 all the way to r2018 and writes a modern DXF that every current CAD program opens. Older AutoCAD drawings, vendor files and archived plans all convert the same way.

Do I need an account, and is there a size limit?

No account needed — five free DWG to DXF conversions a day, up to 10 MB each, with a quick bot check. Create a free account (no card) to convert more files and up to 30 MB each. Very large drawings (tens of thousands of entities) are better opened in the free DWG/DXF viewer, which streams geometry client-side without a size ceiling.

What happens to my file after I convert it?

The conversion runs server-side to read the binary DWG format, and the uploaded file plus its converted output are deleted immediately after the response is returned — they are transient, not stored. For fully local, no-upload work, use the in-browser DWG/DXF viewer instead.

Why convert to DXF at all?

DXF is the open, text-based interchange format every CAD program reads and writes. Converting a DWG to DXF lets you open it in tools that do not read DWG natively — including CADdillo’s in-browser viewer and editor — and share it without version-lock headaches.

Can I edit the drawing after converting?

Yes. Once you have the DXF, open it in CADdillo and edit it with real drafting tools — or tell Dillo Bot what to change and let the engine draft it. Everything stays as editable CAD geometry on real layers.

Does the converter add a watermark or change my geometry?

No watermark, and no geometry changes. The conversion is a format transcode, not a redraw: entities, layers, blocks and text come across as they were, written into DXF instead of DWG. What you download is your drawing, not a stamped or degraded copy of it.

Is it really free, or is this a trial?

Genuinely free — not a trial and not a teaser. Five conversions a day need no account at all. A free account (no card) removes that daily limit and raises the per-file cap to 30 MB. The converter is not the thing we sell; the editor is, and only if you decide you want it.

Convert it, then change it.
