Do you have a DXF CAD file that will not open correctly? If so, our free-to-use DXF repair tool may be able to help. Our tool analyses the content of your DXF 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 DXF 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 DXF using our fast and free repair tool.
Yes! Our DXF 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 DXF repair tool.
We aim to process DXF 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 DXF 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 DXF, once repaired, is deleted 15 minutes after upload, and any download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our DXF repair tool will run on any system with a modern web browser.

A DXF file was created by Autodesk as a standardized format for storing complex 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings in a single, standard package that can be used for seamless exchanging of data between different CAD systems.
The DXF format is plain text and allows CAD elements such as points, lines, curves, and other elements to be represented in an efficient manner that is easy to read by other CAD applications. The use of plain text does, however, cause the files to grow in size quickly when storing large and complex CAD drawings.
As DXF files are designed from the start to be an open and standard format, there are many CAD and 2D drawing applications that offer support for importing and exporting to the DXF format.
CAD files such as DXF contain binary content, which includes a header section. Where a header is present, our DXF 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 DXF 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.
