Convert DWG to PDF online
To convert a DWG to PDF, drop the AutoCAD drawing below: it is read on our server and printed to a vector PDF, one page per layout, or the model space fitted to an A3 sheet when there is no layout. Colours and line weights are kept. Check the page, then download the PDF, free, 3 times a day, with no account and no AutoCAD.
Free conversion, 3 a day. Max AI names the layers and reads the title block — free to try, $10 to export.

How it works
- Drop your filePick what you have: a PDF from CAD, a scan, a photo of a sheet or a sketch. Up to 50 MB, no account.
- CompareSlide between your file and the CAD drawing, check the counts of lines, arcs and texts. Change the detail, the corners or the frame and run it again. Set the scale if you know it.

About the formats
- DWG
- AutoCAD's native format, also saved by BricsCAD, DraftSight and ZWCAD. Most versions are read; if yours is refused, save it as DXF from your software and drop that instead.
- A vector PDF: lines stay lines, so it prints sharp on any plotter and zooms without pixels. Anyone opens it in a PDF reader, no CAD software needed.

FAQ
Do I need AutoCAD to convert?
No. The DWG is read and printed on our server: you only need a browser, and the PDF opens in any PDF reader.
Which layout becomes the PDF?
Every paper space layout that holds something becomes one page, in tab order. A drawing without layouts gives one page: the model space fitted to an A3 sheet.
Are colours and line weights kept?
Yes: each object keeps its colour and line weight from the drawing. White lines (colour 7) print black on the white page.
What happens to my files?
Your files are deleted after 24 hours and never used for AI training. They are only used to make your conversion.
Who owns the converted drawing?
You do. You keep the ownership of your file and of the DXF and DWG made from it, commercial use included.
Do I need an account?
No. Drop a file, check the preview, download. The job page keeps your result for 24 hours.
What is in the download?
A zip with a DXF and a DWG (both R2000); a vector PDF from the DWG and DXF to PDF pages. Drawings over 50,000 objects come as the DXF only, with a note: save it as DWG in your software.
Is the drawing to scale?
Without a scale, a PDF comes in millimetres of paper and an image in pixels. On the preview, type the scale (1:100) or click two points and give the real distance between them.
Does it make 3D or BIM models?
No: you get a 2D drawing, lines, arcs, circles, fills and texts on layers. No 3D, no walls or rooms as BIM objects.
Are there limits on free conversions?
Free in every mode: 5 files and 3 downloads a day per visitor, files up to 50 MB, one PDF page per file. The counters reset at midnight UTC. Every example's DXF is free too.
What if the file doesn't open?
Write to us with the job page's address: we fix the conversion.
