Convert DXF to PDF online
To convert a DXF to PDF, drop the file below: each layout of the drawing becomes a PDF page, or the model space is fitted to an A3 sheet when there is none. Lines stay vectors with their colours and line weights, so the PDF prints sharp at any size. You see the page before you download it, free and with no account.
Free conversion, 3 a day. Max AI names the layers and reads the title block — free to try, $10 to export.
DWG or DXF · up to 50 MB · free, 3 downloads a day · Texts come as outlines, not selectable text.

- 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
- DXF
- The open exchange format of AutoCAD, written by almost every CAD, GIS and CNC program. Every version from R12 is read, and a slightly damaged file is repaired on the way when it can be. Binary DXF isn't: save it as ASCII DXF.
- The page as a plotter would print it, in vectors: sharp at any zoom, light to send, and readable by anyone without CAD software.

| Preview | Free | Every mode: the drawing next to your file, 5 files a day. |
|---|---|---|
| Vector plan | Free | Lines and texts taken exactly, the PDF's layers kept. Texts turned into outlines in the PDF stay lines. |
| Scanned plan | Free | One centre line per stroke, real lines, arcs and circles, a crooked page put straight, texts read (English, French, Spanish). Unreadable texts stay drawn as lines. |
| Photo of a plan | Free | The sheet put flat from its 4 corners, shadows removed, then traced like a scanned plan. The whole sheet must be in the photo. |
| Detail / sketch | Free | Strokes straightened to 0 / 45 / 90°, perfect circles, closed outlines. Texts stay drawn as lines. |
| DWG / DXF to PDF | Free | A vector PDF, colours and line weights kept: one page per layout, or the model space fitted to an A3 sheet. |
| Downloads | Free | 3 zips a day (DXF + DWG), files up to 50 MB. |
| Max AI | Free to run | Layers named by meaning, the title block read, the scale found: results on the page, the picture watermarked. Once per file, 3 drawings a day. |
| Max AI export | $10 | Per drawing: the drawing with the layers you kept renamed and the title block as CSV and JSON, no watermark. Once Max AI has run on a file, this is its download. |
| Examples | Free | The DXF of each mode's example, to open in your own software first. |
FAQ
What DXF versions can be converted?
All of them, from R12 to the latest, as ASCII DXF. A slightly damaged DXF is repaired on the way when possible.
Why are my white lines black?
The PDF page is white, so lines drawn in white (colour 7) print black, as on a plotter. Other colours stay as they are.
Can I convert a laser cutting DXF?
Yes: a DXF made for a laser, a CNC or a plotter prints the same way, its outlines as vector lines on the 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.
