How it works

Upload a picture

Any picture works: one you shoot yourself, a reference from a client, or a sketch you already have.

pic2CAD draws the line art

The picture becomes a clean line drawing in a few seconds, ready to check before you spend a credit on it.

All three formats, every time. Downloading is always free, however many times you need the file.

How pic2CAD helps

A generic block from a library is never quite the right person, object or piece of furniture, and it always looks like it came from a library, because it did.

pic2CAD builds the block from your own picture instead: white fill inside, heavy outline outside, in millimetres, delivered as PNG, SVG and DXF so it drops straight into a plan, a board or a design file. Use it once or save it and reuse it as many times as you like.

Ideal for

Studios building their own block library from their own people and furniture
Sign makers who need one specific shape as a clean block
Laser cutters who want the same block ready in PNG, SVG and DXF at once
Anyone tired of a catalogue block that almost, but not quite, fits
