About the conversion

Reads r11–r2018, writes DXF everything opens

DWG is Autodesk’s binary format; DXF is the open interchange format every CAD program reads. Converting DWG to DXF frees the drawing from version-lock — open it in CADdillo, LibreCAD, BricsCAD, DraftSight or any AutoCAD.

Answers

DWG to DXF, answered

How do I convert a DWG to DXF for free?

Drop your .dwg file on this page and CADdillo converts it to a clean modern DXF you can download. It reads DWG r11 through r2018 and returns a DXF that every version of AutoCAD, LibreCAD, BricsCAD and DraftSight opens. A single small file needs no software install.

What DWG versions can I convert?

The converter reads DWG from r11 all the way to r2018 and writes a modern DXF that every current CAD program opens. Older AutoCAD drawings, vendor files and archived plans all convert the same way.

Do I need an account, and is there a size limit?

No account for your first conversion — one free DWG to DXF per day, up to 10 MB, with a quick bot check. Create a free account (no card) to convert more files and up to 30 MB each. Very large drawings (tens of thousands of entities) are better opened in the free DWG/DXF viewer, which streams geometry client-side without a size ceiling.

What happens to my file after I convert it?

The conversion runs server-side to read the binary DWG format, and the uploaded file plus its converted output are deleted immediately after the response is returned — they are transient, not stored. For fully local, no-upload work, use the in-browser DWG/DXF viewer instead.

Why convert to DXF at all?

DXF is the open, text-based interchange format every CAD program reads and writes. Converting a DWG to DXF lets you open it in tools that do not read DWG natively — including CADdillo’s in-browser viewer and editor — and share it without version-lock headaches.

Can I edit the drawing after converting?

Yes. Once you have the DXF, open it in CADdillo and edit it with real drafting tools — or tell Dillo Bot what to change and let the engine draft it. Everything stays as editable CAD geometry on real layers.

Convert it, then change it.
