Layers, kept as properties
Every feature carries its CAD layer name, so you can style or filter by it immediately in QGIS.
Convert DXF to GeoJSON Online
Convert AutoCAD DXF linework to GeoJSON, layer by layer. Pick which layers you want, tell it which coordinate system the drawing was surveyed in, and the result lands correctly on the map.

How to convert DXF to GeoJSON
-
1
Choose your DXF file
Drag it onto the panel or browse for it. Several files at once is fine, and each is read straight from your disk rather than uploaded.
-
2
Check the preview
Features draw on a map with their attributes. A polygon that came through inside out, or a file that turns out to be empty, shows up here rather than later in QGIS.

Download the GeoJSON
Press download and the file is written straight to your downloads folder. Adjust precision or other settings first if you need to.
What comes across
DXF carries more than geometry, and most converters drop the rest. This one does not.
Curves approximated honestly
Circles and arcs become vertices at roughly two-degree steps, because GeoJSON has no curve primitive. The radius is kept as a property.
Georeferencing you control
The drawing has no coordinate system of its own, so you choose it. Nothing is guessed and nothing is silently placed at the wrong spot on the map.
Frequently asked questions
My DXF has no coordinate system. What do I do?
No DXF does — the format simply has no place to record one. If the numbers look like eastings and northings rather than degrees, choose the survey system under Input coordinate system, usually UTM zone 43N for Maharashtra, and the drawing will be reprojected onto the map.
Can I convert only some layers?
Yes. Every layer in the drawing is listed with its object count, and you tick the ones you want. Roads, plot boundaries and annotation usually sit on separate layers, so this is how you get a clean single-purpose file out of a busy drawing.
Which CAD objects are supported?
LINE, LWPOLYLINE, POLYLINE, POINT, CIRCLE, ARC, SOLID, 3DFACE, TEXT, MTEXT and INSERT. Closed polylines become polygons and open ones become lines. Circles and arcs are approximated as vertices, since GeoJSON has no curve type.
Does it read binary DXF?
No, only ASCII DXF, which is what every CAD program can save. If nothing is found, re-save the drawing as ASCII DXF and try again.
What happens to blocks and attributes?
A block reference is written as a point at its insertion location with the block name kept as a property. Text becomes a point carrying its label. Layer names are always preserved.
Is my drawing uploaded anywhere?
No. The DXF is parsed in your browser. For survey drawings under contract that matters, and you can confirm it in the network tab.
