What is a DXF file?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is the drawing format AutoCAD created so other CAD programs could read its drawings. It is used for floor plans, machine parts and files for laser, CNC, plasma and vinyl cutting.
How to open a DXF file on a PC or phone
- Open justnodu.com in any browser (Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone) or the JUST NODU app.
- Choose the .dxf file. The drawing appears as a sharp vector preview.
- Zoom in to read text and dimensions.
Convert DXF to PDF
After opening the drawing, tap Save and choose PDF to share or print it, or PNG / JPG for a quick picture.
DWG files
DWG is not supported yet. In AutoCAD (or the free viewers from Autodesk) choose Save As → DXF, then open the DXF here.
Privacy
Your file is sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection to our server only to make the preview or the export you ask for, and it is deleted automatically when that is done. Opening files needs an internet connection. See the privacy policy.
