Open DWG and DXF files, draft with the command-line shortcuts you already know, place sockets, lights and doors, and get a priced bill of quantities and a scaled PDF – without installing anything.
Works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari · Your drawings autosave to your account · Open source (GPL-3.0)
Anyone whose day is 2D plans, layouts, mark-ups and quotes. MemeCAD does the everyday drafting and counts what you draw, so the bill of quantities is ready when the drawing is.
Lay out sockets, switches, lights, data and smoke detectors on a client's floor plan. Get counts per room, cable lengths per circuit layer and a priced bill of quantities.
Open the architect's DWG, trace rooms and walls, hatch the floors and get areas, wall surfaces and volumes for your quote – then export CSV to your spreadsheet.
Draw plans to scale with doors, windows, sanitary ware and furniture symbols, dimension them and plot a clean PDF for the client.
Facility managers, landlords, surveyors, makers: view, mark up, measure and print DWG/DXF files without a licence. Export DXF for laser cutters and CNC.
Learn real CAD commands (L, TR, F, H, DLI…) and the drafting conventions used in practice – for free, in any browser.
Every drawing autosaves to your account with version history and tabs. Open it on another computer and carry on.
A complete professional 2D drafting toolset, running as a web page. See the full checklist →
Lines, polylines, rectangles, polygons, circles, arcs, ellipses, text and hatches. Trim, extend, fillet, chamfer, offset, array, stretch, join, break, mirror, match properties. Grips, osnaps, polar tracking, typed coordinates.
Reads DWG (R13–2018) and DXF in the browser; writes DXF that every major CAD package opens, DWG through the companion server, and vector PDF to scale on any paper size.
Every symbol you place is counted and priced. Lengths per layer for cables and pipes, wall surfaces and volumes, hatched areas for finishes, counts per room, CSV export or a schedule table in the drawing.
Aligned, linear, radius and diameter dimensions with configurable precision. Layers with colours, lock, hide, ISO linetypes and pen weights. Sheets with a scaled viewport and a title block, plotted to a multi-page PDF.
Drawings save themselves a couple of seconds after each edit, keep a version history you can restore from, and work offline until you're back online.
Cyrillic, Greek, CJK and other text survives the trip from old DWG files through the editor to the PDF, with the font embedded.
Type the short commands drafters use every day – they just work. Enter or Space runs them, Enter repeats the last one, Esc cancels.
Plus @dx,dy, @len<angle and direct distance entry, F3 osnap, F8 ortho, F10 polar, Ctrl+C/V between drawings.
While MemeCAD is in early access every feature is free, including cloud saving, DWG export and PDF plotting. Read what we promise →
Yes. During early access there is one plan, it costs nothing and it includes everything. We will tell every account holder well in advance if that changes, and exporting your drawings (DXF, PDF, CSV) will always stay free.
MemeCAD reads DWG R13 to 2018 and DXF R12 to 2018 directly in the browser. Lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses, splines, text, blocks with attributes, dimensions and hatches come through; 3D solids, images and tables are skipped and listed so you know what's missing.
Two-dimensional work: plans, layouts, mark-ups, dimensions, sheets with title blocks and quantities, all in a browser tab. It counts and prices what you draw. 3D modelling, external references and scripting are outside its scope. The features page has the complete checklist.
In your own account (Firebase), compressed and versioned. The editor also keeps a local backup in your browser so a crash or lost connection does not lose work. You can download DXF at any time.
Yes – GPL-3.0, because the DWG reader (LibreDWG) is GPL. You can self-host it; the repository has Docker, Railway and Vercel configurations.
