LibreCAD is a free, open-source, cross-platform 2D CAD application built on Qt, based on the QCAD community edition. It reads and writes DXF/DWG, exports PDF/SVG/PNG, supports standard 2D geometry primitives, and can also run as a DXF converter from the command line.
Use cases
- draw 2D technical plans and blueprints
- open and edit DXF or DWG files for free
- convert DXF files to PDF, PNG, or SVG
- import ESRI shapefiles into a CAD drawing
- free AutoCAD alternative for Windows, Mac, and Linux
- create 2D geometry with lines, circles, splines, and ellipses
When to choose
- you need a free, no-subscription 2D CAD tool
- you work with DXF/DWG files across Linux, macOS, and Windows
- you want scriptable DXF-to-PDF/SVG/PNG conversion
- you need a localized UI in one of 30+ languages
When to avoid
- you need 3D modeling or parametric feature-based CAD
- you require notarized macOS builds or commercial support
- you need Shapefile export (import is read-only)
