Why it's different

What engineers actually need in a PDF to DXF converter

⬡
Layer Preservation
AutoCAD layers from source PDF are mapped to DXF layers — not merged into Layer 0.
╱
True Vector Lines
Lines, arcs, polylines and circles are extracted as entities — not as a flat image.
T
Editable Text
Dimension values, notes and labels become DXF TEXT/MTEXT — fully selectable in AutoCAD.
⊟
Lineweight Mapping
0.18mm / 0.25mm / 0.35mm / 0.5mm ISO lineweights preserved in the output DXF.
⊕
Scale Correction
Set 1:50, 1:100, 1:200 at convert time — coordinates in DXF are already in real-world units.
⬚
Scanned PDF Support
Raster-to-vector engine for scanned drawings. Line detection + OCR for dimension text.

Industry Standards

PDF to DWG or DXF?

📂
Universal DXF
DXF is the open-standard alternative to DWG. It's compatible with 100% of AutoCAD versions and CNC software without "Non-Autodesk" binary errors.
✨
Better Compatibility
When you convert PDF to DWG via DXF, you ensure that vector entities like layers, blocks, and text stay editable across all platforms.
🏭
Factory Ready
Most CNC, Laser, and Plasma cutters prefer DXF over DWG for direct machine path generation. Convert once, use everywhere.
Specialized Use Cases

Built for CNC & Graphic Design

⚙️
CNC Metal Cutting
Convert blurry technical drawings into clean DXF files for laser, plasma, and waterjet. No self-intersecting loops, just pure paths.
🪵
Woodworking & Crafts
Perfect for CNC routers and CO2 lasers. Transform woodworking templates or scroll saw patterns from JPG to 1:1 scale DXF.
🎨
Logo to Vector
Vectorize logos and artwork for engraving. Clear outlines and optimized points make it easy to export from Image to DXF for branding.
Advanced Vectorization

JPG & PNG to DXF Online

📸
Image to CAD
Convert your sketches, scans, and blueprints from JPG or PNG to DXF in seconds. Our engine detects shapes and outlines with high precision.
📐
Raster to Vector
Using professional-grade R2V algorithms, we transform blurry pixels into sharp, editable vector lines ready for AutoCAD or SolidWorks.
⚡

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert PDF to DXF online for free?

Simply upload your file, choose your AutoCAD version and scale, and click "Convert". Free users get 5 conversions per day without needing an account.

Is the DXF output compatible with CNC machines?

Yes. We use polyline optimization and arc detection to ensure paths are clean for laser, plasma, and waterjet cutters. No "double lines" or overlapping geometry.

Can I import the DXF into SolidWorks?

Absolutely. Use our built-in Scale Factor tool to match your drawing units. Our DXF R2013 output is ideal for SolidWorks sketches.

Do you support scanned "Raster" PDFs?

Yes, Pro users have access to our advanced Raster-to-Vector (R2V) engine which uses OCR and line-thinning algorithms to convert pixels into editable CAD entities.
