FAQ DXF to DWG converter
Common questions about our free online DXF to DWG converter tool.
- Why not download .dwg directly?
- Binary DWG write is not available in browser engines. The export is an AutoCAD-compatible R2013 DXF the standard path to native DWG without a desktop converter.
- Which AutoCAD version should I Save As?
- We export R2013-compatible DXF. AutoCAD 2013 and newer opens it reliably; Save As DWG for your target version.
- Does this work with legacy layout software?
- Many older panel and layout tools import DXF. Export here, verify blocks, then import into your downstream software.
- 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.
