Do you have a DWG CAD file that will not open correctly? If so, our free-to-use DWG repair tool may be able to help. Our tool analyses the content of your DWG CAD file and is able to determine if the file structure (lines, curves, solids, etc.) is valid. Our tool will let you know what is wrong with your DWG file and attempt to fix it.
Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.
Here are 3 simple steps to repair your DWG using our fast and free repair tool.
Yes! Our DWG repair tool is 100% free to use.
No, you can repair as many files as you wish. We do not have any limits when using our DWG repair tool.
We aim to process DWG repairs as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer depending on the file size and data needed to be repaired.
Once your DWG has been selected, it will undergo some initial checks to verify that the file has some basic information. If the initial checks pass, we then upload the file to our servers for more detailed analysis.
Yes, of course it is! Your DWG, once repaired, is deleted 15 minutes after upload, and any download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our DWG repair tool will run on any system with a modern web browser.

A DWG file (also known as a Drawing file) is one of the older Computer Aided Design (CAD) formats and is primarily associated with Autodesk's AutoCAD application. The format started out as a format for storing 2D CAD drawings but has evolved to store other CAD-related data, including full 3D CAD models.
The format stores the core CAD data, such as points, lines, elevations, and other 2D and, in more recent versions, 3D modelling data, along with other important metadata related to the drawing. The DWG format is proprietary and is intended for use with the AutoCAD application only.
Although designed for the AutoCAD application, there are other 3D CAD and modelling applications that can open DWG files. As the format is proprietary and has been updated many times over the years, opening a DWG file with any application other than AutoCAD will be met with varying degrees of success.
CAD files such as DWG contain binary content, which includes a header section. Where a header is present, our DWG repair tool will compare the header contents with what is actually present in the file data to work out the validation status of the file.
The building blocks of most DWG CAD files are the core elements: curves, surfaces, solids, and others. Our tool will parse the file, and if any issues are found with the containing elements, we will attempt to repair them.
