How to convert DXF to CSV

  1. Drop your DXF file into the box above (or click to browse).
  2. The GDAL engine loads once and reads the file right in your browser.
  3. Pick CSV as the output, set a coordinate system if you need one, and click Convert, then download the result.

Why convert DXF to CSV?

DXF is a CAD/engineering format, so it isn't always the format the next tool expects. Converting it to CSV lets you open the attributes in Excel or a spreadsheet without redrawing or re-collecting anything. Because GISConverter runs a full GDAL engine in your browser, the geometry and attributes carry across faithfully, and the file never leaves your device.

About the formats

DXF (.dxf): DXF is Autodesk's open interchange format for CAD drawings and is supported by virtually every CAD and GIS package. It stores lines, polylines, arcs, text and layers, which makes it the usual bridge between engineering drawings and mapping software.

CSV (.csv): CSV is the universal spreadsheet exchange format: rows of plain-text values that open in Excel, Google Sheets or any text editor. For mapping, a CSV becomes spatial when it carries coordinate columns — typically latitude/longitude, or an X/Y pair — that a GIS can turn into points.
