FAQ markup CAD drawing online

Common questions about our free online markup CAD drawing online tool.

Does markup change my DWG file?
No. Markups are a separate review layer saved in your browser (and optional screenshot export). Your original file is not modified.
Is this the same as Bluebeam?
CadPeek offers lightweight browser markup — arrows, boxes, notes, and PNG export. It does not replace full redline/PDF workflows or collaborative issue tracking.
Do I need AutoCAD installed?
No. All tools run in your browser with WebAssembly CAD engines. Upload DWG or DXF and work immediately on Windows, Mac, Linux, or tablet.
Is my drawing uploaded to your servers?
By default, files parse locally in your browser. Upload only happens when you explicitly create a Share link or use cloud features.
What is the free file size limit?
Free accounts can open files up to 15MB. Starter ($8.8/mo) supports 50MB, Pro 100MB, and Team 200MB per drawing.
Which DWG versions are supported?
AutoCAD DWG R12 through 2024 and DXF (ASCII and binary). Most 2D shop drawings open cleanly.
Can I use these tools on iPad or Android?
Yes. The viewer and all tool pages work in modern mobile browsers — useful for field review with the measure tool.
