View a DXF file online
Upload a DXF file to view it directly in your browser, zoom in, and pan around. The tool also detects which AutoCAD version created the file and which unit it uses.
Your file is processed entirely in your browser — it is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
Only .dxf files, up to 20 MB.
What is a DXF file?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an open, vendor-neutral 2D drawing format from Autodesk. It stores lines, circles, arcs, and text as exact vector geometry rather than a pixel image, which is why practically every CAD, laser, and CNC program can read it.
Frequently asked questions
Is my file uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. All processing happens in your browser. The file is never transmitted to or stored on a server.
Can I edit or export the file here?
No, this tool is for viewing only. For editing, cleanup, or a production-ready DXF file, we create one for you from your source file.
Why doesn't the detected unit match what I expected?
A DXF file only stores numbers, not a unit in the human sense — whether a 100 means one hundred millimeters or one hundred inches depends on the program that created the file. More on this in the DXF basics guide.
What exactly is a DXF file?
DXF stands for Drawing Exchange Format, an open 2D vector format from Autodesk. It stores geometric elements like lines, circles, and arcs as exact coordinates rather than a pixel image, and is read by practically every CAD, laser, and CNC program.
Which programs can open a DXF file?
DXF files open in almost any CAD software, including AutoCAD, LibreCAD, QCAD, Inkscape, or Fusion 360, as well as the control software of most laser and CNC machines. For a quick look without installing anything, this viewer is enough.
