How DWG to DXF Conversion Works

1

Upload DWG File

Upload your AutoCAD DWG file. Supports all AutoCAD versions and DWG variants.

2

Parse Drawing Data

The system reads the DWG binary format and extracts all drawing entities and metadata.

3

Convert to DXF

Drawing data is converted to the open DXF format while preserving all geometry and attributes.

4

Download DXF

Download your converted DXF file compatible with any CAD software that supports DXF format.

DWG vs DXF Format Comparison

DWG Format

  • • Proprietary: Owned and controlled by Autodesk
  • • Binary Format: Compact but not human-readable
  • • Version Dependent: Newer versions may not open in older software
  • • Advanced Features: Supports all AutoCAD-specific features
  • • Smaller Files: More compact than equivalent DXF files

DXF Format

  • • Open Standard: Publicly documented format
  • • ASCII/Binary: Can be human-readable or binary
  • • Cross-Compatible: Supported by virtually all CAD software
  • • Standard Features: Focuses on core CAD elements
  • • Future-Proof: More likely to remain accessible long-term

Compatible CAD Software
