Converted on our server and deleted right away. Nothing is stored.

How it works

SVG · up to 25 MB · Ctrl+V to paste

Turn an SVG into a DXF for lasers, CNC routers and CAD: every outline as a polyline in millimetres, at the size you set.

How to convert SVG to DXF

  1. 1

    Add your SVG file

    Drop it on the page or choose it. Text should already be converted to paths.

  2. 2

    Set the size

    The outlines keep their shapes and colours; set the size where the format needs one.

  3. 3

    Download the DXF

    The file is made on our server in a moment and nothing is kept.

About SVG to DXF

Many laser and CNC programs, and every CAD program, prefer DXF to SVG. This converter reads the paths, shapes and colours of your SVG and writes an R12 DXF: each outline becomes a polyline, curves are cut into short straight pieces and each colour gets its own layer.

You set the length of the longest side in millimetres and the drawing is scaled to it, so it arrives in LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, Glowforge, Inkscape or AutoCAD at the right size. Text must be converted to paths first.

Frequently asked questions

Which DXF version is it?

R12 (AC1009), the most widely read version: LightBurn, xTool, Glowforge, LaserGRBL, Fusion 360, AutoCAD and Inkscape all open it.

Why are there no outlines in my DXF?

The SVG probably holds text or an embedded picture. Convert text to paths in your editor, or trace the picture with PNG to SVG first.

Is SVG to DXF free?

Yes, with no account. The SVG is converted on our server and nothing is kept.
