📖 How to Use DWG Version Converter

  1. Upload your DWG file — Drag and drop it into the upload area, or click "Choose File".
  2. Wait for LibreDWG to load — First conversion loads the WASM engine (cached afterward).
  3. View the preview — Your drawing renders on the canvas so you can verify it.
  4. Pick your DXF version — Choose R12, R2000, R2013, or R2018.
  5. Download and open — The converted DXF downloads automatically. Open in any CAD software.

ℹī¸ About DWG Version Converter

DWG Version Converter is a free browser-based tool that converts DWG files to different DXF versions — R12 (AC1009), R2000 (AC1015), R2013 (AC1027), and R2018 (AC1032). Powered by LibreDWG WASM, entirely client-side.

Different CAD software supports different DXF versions. Older software needs R12; modern software handles R2018. This tool lets you export your DWG drawing in the exact DXF version your target software requires.

Ideal for engineers working across multiple CAD platforms, or anyone who needs to share DWG files with colleagues using older software.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is my DWG file uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using LibreDWG WASM. Your file never leaves your device.

Which DXF version should I choose?

Use R2000 (AC1015) for maximum compatibility. Choose R12 for very old software, or R2018 for the latest features.

Is the output DXF compatible with AutoCAD?

Yes. All output versions are spec-compliant and open in AutoCAD, FreeCAD, LibreCAD, and other CAD software.

Why is the first conversion slow?

The LibreDWG WASM engine is ~10 MB. It downloads once and is cached. Subsequent conversions are instant.

Can I batch convert multiple files?

Currently one file at a time. Batch conversion may be added in a future update.
