    What actually changes

    DXF and SVG are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    DXF lines, arcs, polylines and splines become SVG path elements. Layers become groups, so styling and toggling by layer remains possible.

    Worth knowing first

    SVG has no arc primitive matching DXF's. Arcs and circles are converted into elliptical arc commands or approximated with Beziers, and a converter that approximates poorly leaves visible facets on large curves. Check circular geometry before cutting from it.

    Questions

    DXF to SVG, answered

    Is this suitable for a laser cutter?

    Usually yes, but verify the scale in the cutting software. Unit assumptions are the most common failure.

    What happens to text?

    It becomes SVG text if the font maps, or paths if it has been outlined. CAD SHX fonts have no web equivalent.

    How to convert DXF to SVG

    01

    Add your files

    Drop one DXF or two hundred. Batch conversion is not a paid feature here.

    02

    Choose your settings

    Scalable Vector Graphics is lossless, so nothing is thrown away in the conversion.
