Line by line

The difference between free and paid

There is no feature locked behind the payment. Every difference between the two columns is about how many conversions you may run, not what comes out.

Nothing is locked behind the payment Layer names, arc fitting, millimetre or inch output, the full uncropped drawing — all of it is in the free tier. There is one conversion path in the code and both tiers run it, so the only thing a payment changes is the number on the counter.

The rules

How to use the daily allowance

The allowance is counted per conversion, not per page or per entity — a 29-page plan set with 68,000 entities costs the same one conversion as a single sheet.

It resets daily rather than monthly, because this is bursty work: a new project arrives, you convert a batch, then nothing for weeks. A monthly window would be no limit at all; a daily one is an honest ceiling.

Nothing is cropped, watermarked or simplified on the free tier. If the drawing converts, you get all of it.

The count lives on the server, tied to your account — but the drawing itself is never sent. Only the number of conversions leaves your browser.

Same file

Proof: the free file and the paid file are the same file

Paying does not switch on a better converter. There is one conversion path in the code, and the free tier and the paid tier both run it — the DXF is byte-for-byte identical.

ink-length ratio 1.0000 · recall 100.00% · precision 100.00% — measured on the demo drawing, on the free tier

Questions about paying

What do I get for free?

Three conversions per day, and every one of them is the complete drawing — nothing is cropped, watermarked or simplified. The free tier and the paid one produce byte-for-byte the same DXF. Paying only removes the daily limit.

Do I need an account?

Yes. The converter is behind Google sign-in, including the free tier. Sign-in is how your daily allowance and your purchase are recognised. Your drawings are never uploaded — only your account and a count of how many conversions you have run leave your browser.

Is this a subscription?

No. It is a single payment and it does not renew. This tool is for a task that comes in bursts — a new project, a set of drawings from a client — not something you run every day, so a monthly bill would not be honest.

Are my drawings uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is read and converted inside your browser tab, and the DXF is written there too. There is no server in the conversion path at all.

Will it convert a scanned drawing?

No, and it tells you so before you waste time on it. A scan is a picture of a drawing with no vector line work to convert. Tracing a picture produces closed outlines with no snappable lines, arcs or layers — not usable for engineering work — so this extension deliberately does not do it.

Do I get editable text and dimensions?

No. What you get is geometry: lines, arcs, polylines and splines on their original layers. In PDFs exported from CAD the text and dimension labels are already broken up into line work, so recreating them as editable text is not something any tool can do reliably.

Is my payment info safe?

Payments are handled by Stripe. Card details go to Stripe directly and are never stored by us.
