DWG ⇄ DXF · ODA converter

DWG to DXF & DXF to DWG Converter

Upload a DWG to get a DXF, or a DXF to get a DWG (AutoCAD 2018). Layers and entities kept — free with a free account, no AutoCAD.

Drop a .dwg or .dxf file here — free with a free account, up to 25 MB.

Only have a PDF?

A PDF has no DWG inside it, but its lines and text can be rebuilt as one: the PDF to DWG converter does that for CAD-exported and scanned PDFs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert DWG to DXF?

Upload the .dwg and download the .dxf. The conversion runs on the ODA File Converter — the same engine many CAD programs license — so layers, blocks, text and dimensions carry over. Upload a .dxf instead and you get a .dwg.

Which DWG version do I get?

AutoCAD 2018 format (AC1032), which opens in AutoCAD 2018 and later, BricsCAD, DraftSight, ZWCAD and most current CAD tools.

Why convert DWG to DXF?

DXF is the open exchange format: laser and plasma cutters, CNC/CAM software, LibreCAD, Inkscape and many web tools read DXF but not DWG.

Is it free?

Yes, with a free account — files up to 25 MB, 10 files an hour.

Is my file stored?

No. The file is converted and returned to you; it is not saved to your projects or shared.

Need quantities, not just a model?

The free tools run on a single drawing. Aginera's takeoff product reads a whole plan set and produces priced, sheet-referenced quantities.
