How to convert DWG to PDF free (no AutoCAD, no upload)
DWG is AutoCAD's native drawing format, and almost nobody outside engineering has software that opens it. Converting to PDF (or SVG for editing, PNG/JPG for a quick picture) makes a plan viewable by anyone — and it can be done entirely inside a browser tab.
Convert DWG in four steps
- Open the DWG converter.
- Drop a .dwg or .dxf file. A WebAssembly CAD engine loads and parses the geometry locally.
- Pick the output: PDF for sharing and printing, SVG to keep vectors editable, PNG or JPG for a plain image.
- Check the on-screen preview, then download.
Which format should you pick?
- PDF — best for clients, approvals and printing. Opens everywhere.
- SVG — stays fully vector, so you can restyle it in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma.
- PNG — a clean image with a transparent background for slides and documents.
- JPG — smallest file, white background, fine for a quick visual reference.
What is supported
Model-space geometry converts reliably: lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses, splines, blocks and single-line text, across DWG R13–2018 and plain DXF. Complex hatches, dimension styling, paper-space layouts and external references are simplified or skipped. To inspect a drawing and toggle layers before exporting, use the DWG viewer.
FAQ
Do I need AutoCAD?
No. The drawing is decoded by a CAD engine compiled to WebAssembly that runs inside your browser.
Is my drawing uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read from your device and converted in the tab, so confidential plans never leave your computer.
Is there a watermark or a page limit?
Neither. The tool is free with no signup, no watermark and no daily cap.
Can I convert DXF as well?
Yes — drop a .dxf file and the same conversion options apply.
