DXF / SVG Converter
Convert CAD linework between DXF and SVG, both directions, right in your browser. Turn a DXF into a scalable SVG, or build a DXF from an SVG drawing — no upload, no sign-up.
Supported entities: LINE, LWPOLYLINE, POLYLINE, CIRCLE and ARC. The drawing's Y axis is flipped to match SVG's top-down coordinate system; text, splines and hatches are skipped.
Convert Between DXF and SVG in the Browser
DXF is the interchange format CAD programs read and write, while SVG is the vector format the web understands. This converter bridges the two: feed it a DXF and it reads the lines, polylines, circles and arcs, computes a bounding box, flips the Y axis and emits a clean, scalable SVG you can preview and embed anywhere. Going the other way, it parses an SVG's vector primitives and rewrites them as DXF entities for use in CAD.
Everything happens locally — your files never leave the browser. Because the two formats use opposite vertical axes (SVG counts down from the top, CAD counts up from the bottom), the tool flips the Y coordinate in both directions so geometry stays right-side up. Complex content such as text, dimensions, splines and Bézier curves is skipped, and the tool reports exactly how many entities were converted versus skipped.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a DXF to SVG?
Choose the “DXF → SVG” tab and upload your .dxf file. The tool reads the linework, builds a scalable SVG with the Y axis flipped to match the web, shows a live preview and lets you download the SVG — all without leaving your browser.
Can I convert SVG to DXF for CAD?
Yes. Switch to the “SVG → DXF” tab and upload an SVG. The tool converts lines, polylines, polygons, rectangles and straight-line paths into DXF entities, flips the axis back to a CAD-style coordinate system, and gives you a .dxf to download.
Which DXF entities are supported?
DXF → SVG handles lines, polylines (LWPOLYLINE and POLYLINE), circles and arcs. Text, dimensions, splines, hatches and blocks are skipped. The converter reports how many entities were converted and how many were skipped on each run.
