SketchDXF: AI DXF Converter

Turn 2D engineering drawings into CAD-ready DXF files with AI. Snap a sketch, get a DXF. Starter & Pro also get Human Review if the AI ever gets it wrong.

Convert any engineering sketch to a CAD-ready DXF file - in seconds.

SketchDXF: AI-Powered CAD Converter

The fastest way from paper sketch to machining. No CAD software. No training. Just snap a photo.

Built for the Workshop, Not the Design Studio

• Convert hand-drawn parts into CAD-ready DXF files • Create DXF files without CAD software • Perfect for CNC, laser cutting, and fabrication workflows

How It Works

Step 1 - Sketch It

Draw your part on white paper. Add dimensions such as width, height, diameter, radius (R), hole positions, slots, and bend lines.

Step 2 - Scan It

Take a photo or upload your drawing. SketchDXF detects geometry, dimensions, and engineering annotations.

Step 3 - Download DXF

Receive a CAD-compatible DXF file in seconds, ready for CAD software or CNC workflows.

Supported Drawing Types

SketchDXF converts 2D engineering drawings into CAD-ready DXF files.

Supported inputs: • Hand-drawn 2D engineering sketches • PDF engineering drawings • Technical 2D drawings of flat sheet metal parts

Important

SketchDXF is designed for 2D engineering drawings only.

It does not convert: • Photos of real-world objects • 3D parts or assemblies • Machines or equipment • Furniture or products • Random shop floor photographs

If you upload a photograph of a physical object, the AI cannot generate an accurate DXF because it is trained to interpret 2D engineering drawings, not 3D objects.

What the AI Understands

• Circles, holes, arcs, slots, rectangles, polygons and ellipses • Corner radii, chamfers and rotation angles • Fold/bend lines and bend angles • Countersinks (CSK), counterbores (CBORE) and thread specs (M6x1.0) • Bolt circle patterns • Tolerances and GD&T annotations

Professional DXF Output

• CAD-compatible DXF • Layers: CUT, HOLES, FOLD, CHAMFER and DETAIL • Optional dimension annotations • 1:1 scale output

In-App CAD Preview

• Preview generated drawings • Zoom and inspect details • Switch between Drawing, Details and Original Sketch

Human Review (Starter & Pro)

If the AI cannot generate the correct DXF, request a Human Review directly in the app.

• Manual DXF creation by our design team • Receive the corrected DXF back in the app • Available with Starter and Pro only • Not available on the Free plan

Cloud Sync & History

• Secure scan history • Access scans from any device • View original sketch and DXF together

Free to Start

• Free - 2 AI scans/month • Starter - 10 scans/month or 120/year • Pro - 25 scans/month or 300/year

Subscriptions are managed through your App Store account.
