What’s DXF?
AutoCAD’s exchange format for 2D drawings. Lines, arcs and text that CAD apps can edit.
Convert DXF drawings to SVG for laser cutters, vinyl cutters, websites and design apps like Inkscape, Illustrator and Figma. The DXF is read in your browser and written as clean vector paths, so drawings stay private.
What’s converted
- Lines, polylines (including arc segments), circles, arcs, ellipses and splines become SVG paths.
- Text and multiline text become SVG text you can edit.
- Blocks and their inserts, including arrays, and dimensions.
- Only model space, and only layers that are on and thawed, just as AutoCAD shows them.
Units and scale
One SVG unit is one DXF unit, and the SVG’s size is written in the drawing’s own unit, read from the DXF (millimetres when the file doesn’t say). A 100 mm part opens 100 mm wide in Inkscape or Illustrator. If a drawing comes in at the wrong size, it was saved without a unit and wasn’t in millimetres: scale it by 25.4 for inches.
Curves are written as many short straight segments that follow the curve closely, which every cutter accepts.
Settings
- Colours: keep each layer’s colour, or make everything black. Very light lines, normal on a black CAD screen, are made black so they stay visible.
- Line weight: the stroke width for every line, in points (0.5 pt by default).
Files that won’t open
- Binary DXF: save it again as ASCII DXF from your CAD program.
- DWG files: use Save As DXF in your CAD program first.
- Hatches, 3D solids and images aren’t drawn.

Questions
Are my files uploaded?
Never. DXF to SVG conversion runs in your browser, so your files stay on your device.
Can I convert many at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and download them all as one ZIP.
Is there a size limit?
Only your device’s memory. Long documents take a little longer.
Can I use the SVG on a laser cutter?
Yes. Lines become SVG paths, and the file opens at the drawing’s real size.
Does it convert DWG to SVG?
No. Save the DWG as DXF in your CAD program, then convert the DXF.
Are layers kept?
Layer colours are kept, but all lines go into one SVG group, not separate layers.
Can you convert SVG to DXF?
Not with this page, which only goes from DXF to SVG. One route is two steps: SVG to PDF keeps the drawing as vectors, then PDF to DXF (CAD) turns those paths into DXF lines. Curves come out as many short segments, and you should check one known dimension afterwards.
