Turn drawings into editable CAD.
A raster image becomes a CAD drawing.
Not a picture embedded in a DXF — actual editable geometry with layers, scale, and clean endpoints.
Native line, arc, circle entities
A purpose-built contour engine traces the linework, then fits straight lines, arcs, and full circles with endpoint snapping and corner detection. Freeform remnants stay as polylines.
Calibrated real-world dimensions
Click any edge, type its real length in mm, cm, m, or inches, and every entity, measurement, and exported coordinate is scaled accordingly — the DXF lands in your units.
Four-point perspective correction
Shot a drawing at an angle? Drag four corners onto the sheet and the keystone is rectified before tracing, so sides come out horizontal and vertical.
Preview free, export when ready
Trace, tune, and inspect as many drawings as you like at no cost. A DXF/SVG export costs one of three monthly free credits — Pro is unlimited. No uploads, ever.
From paper or photo to CAD in three steps.
- 01
Add the drawing
Drag in a part photo, a phone picture of a whiteboard sketch, or a scanned plan. Pick the matching mode: sketch, scan, or photo.
- 02
Trace and tune
Linework is binarized, contoured, and fitted into CAD entities locally. Optionally fix perspective, then adjust simplification and arc recognition live.
- 03
Calibrate and export
Set one known dimension for true scale, toggle layers, then download DXF (R12/AC1009) for CAD software or SVG for vector apps.
