Image to DWG Converter

Any picture of a drawing — a scan, a photo of a sketch, an exported plan — into a native DWG you can draft on. Drop it below and the DWG is seconds away.

How to convert image to DWG

Upload your image

Drop your image on the converter, click to browse, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V.

We trace the lines

Every format is normalized to one clean black-and-white working image before tracing, so a WEBP and a TIFF of the same drawing converge on the same geometry.

Download a real DWG

You get a native 2018-format DWG with editable LWPOLYLINE geometry on its own A-SKETCH layer — editable geometry, ready to draft on, not a picture to trace again.

What you get: lines, not pictures

A floor plan with solid walls, furniture and text — and the CAD geometry this converter produces from it. Walls keep both faces, every thin line is a single editable polyline, and labels become real editable text.

Example floor plan image before conversion — Input: raster image (solid walls, thin furniture lines, text)

Editable DWG vector drawing produced by the converter — Output: editable DWG polylines (walls outlined, lines centerlined)

About image to DWG conversion

Most tools that claim to convert an image to DWG simply wrap your picture inside a DWG container: the file opens in your CAD, and what you see is still a photograph, with nothing to snap to and nothing to trim. This one produces geometry. The result is a 2018-format DWG whose contents are LWPOLYLINE entities on an A-SKETCH layer, with recognized labels as editable TEXT — the difference between a drawing you can work on and a picture you still have to trace by hand.

It is the drafting pipeline of the NASJI CAD program, pointed at a single job. Ink thickness decides how each mark is treated: a thin line becomes one polyline down its centre, while a solid filled region — a poché wall, an arrowhead — is traced along both of its real edges, so walls keep their two faces instead of collapsing into one line nobody drew. The saved view is written into the file as well, so the drawing is framed on screen the moment it opens rather than needing a zoom-to-extents first.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get real CAD lines or a picture inside a DWG?

Real geometry. Every traced stroke is an editable LWPOLYLINE you can trim, extend, offset and snap to, and recognized labels come through as CAD TEXT. Nothing in the output is a raster image.

Which image formats can I convert to DWG?

PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, AVIF, SVG and ICO. Each also has its own page with format-specific guidance, but this one accepts all of them.

Which CAD programs open the file?

The DWG is written in the 2018 format, which BricsCAD, ZWCAD, GstarCAD, DraftSight, NanoCAD and every other CAD released since 2018 open directly. Choose DXF instead if you need something older or more portable.

What happens to walls and other solid black areas?

They are traced by their edges rather than reduced to a single line. The tracer measures how thick each patch of ink is: pen work gets a centerline, and anything substantially thicker than the drawing's own pen is treated as a filled region and outlined, so both faces survive.

Will the text on my drawing stay text?

Labels are read with OCR before anything is traced, and their pixels are removed from the image so they are never drawn as squiggles. Each recognized label is placed as editable CAD text at the measured position and height. Anything unreadable stays as linework rather than being guessed at.

Is there a limit, and is it really free?

100 MB per file, no daily quota, no account and no watermark. Uploads and results are retained so failed conversions can be debugged and re-downloaded; they are never sold or shared.
