Convert DXF to SVG

DXF is the interchange format CAD and CNC software agreed on decades ago. SVG is the web's vector format, and what most craft machines and design tools prefer. Both describe lines and curves, so the conversion is direct.

Curves are flattened, carefully

Arcs, circles, ellipses and polyline bulges are converted to line segments at a tolerance based on their radius, rather than a fixed segment count. A 200 mm arc and a 2 mm arc need very different resolutions, and treating them the same is how filleted corners turn into visible facets.

The axis flip that catches people out

SVG's y axis points down; CAD's points up. Get this wrong and the part comes out mirrored — which you only discover after cutting it. The flip is handled in both directions.

What is not carried over

Text, dimensions, hatches and block references are not converted. This handles the geometry: lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses and splines.

Common questions

Can I convert DXF to SVG for a laser cutter?

Yes. Lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses and splines are converted, and curves are flattened at a tolerance based on their radius so filleted corners stay smooth.

Will my drawing come out mirrored?

No. SVG measures y downward and CAD measures it upward, and the flip is handled in both directions. Getting this wrong is the usual reason a cut part comes out backwards.

Does it convert text and dimensions?

No. Text, dimensions, hatches and block references are not converted. This handles the drawing geometry.

Something wrong? Tell me

If a file will not convert, or the result looks wrong, I would rather hear about it. Include the format and roughly what you were doing — that is usually enough to reproduce it.

This form is the only thing on this site that contacts a server. It sends what you type above, plus your browser version and which page you were on — those two make bugs far easier to reproduce. Your files are never included and never leave your device. Please do not paste anything confidential.
