These terms explain the rules for using opendwgfileonline.com (“the website”), including our free online DWG viewer and our articles. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the website.
Using the DWG viewer
The viewer lets you open and view DWG and DXF files in your web browser for free.
- Files are processed on your own device. We don’t upload or store them. See our Privacy Policy.
- You may use the viewer for personal and commercial purposes.

- You must not try to break, overload, copy, resell or misuse the viewer or the website.
- You must not use the website for anything illegal.
No guarantee of accuracy
We work hard to make the viewer display drawings correctly, but no viewer is perfect. Some drawings may display differently from how they appear in AutoCAD or other CAD software. Fonts may be substituted, some objects may not display, and measurements depend on how the drawing was created.
Do not rely on the viewer alone for construction, manufacturing, legal or safety decisions. Always check important information against the original drawing, written dimensions, a PDF issued by the designer, or the designer themselves.
Our articles
Our guides are for general information. Software changes over time, and steps that worked when we wrote an article may change in later versions. We try to keep content accurate and up to date, but we can’t promise that every detail is complete or current. Read our Disclaimer for more.
The website is provided “as is”
The website and viewer are provided free of charge, “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, we make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or uninterrupted availability.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, opendwgfileonline.com and the people behind it will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the website or viewer. This includes loss of data, profits, business or time, and any decisions made based on drawings viewed or measured with it.
Some places don’t allow certain limits on liability. In those places, our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law allows.

The viewer uses open source software, which remains under its own licenses.
