Turn your own site pictures into CAD blocks you actually own

Skip the generic block library. Convert the people, furniture or equipment from your own pictures into a DXF, SVG and PNG at the scale you choose.

How it works

01

Upload a picture

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

02

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.

03

Download PNG, SVG and DXF

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

How pic2CAD helps

Generic block libraries rarely match a real project: the wrong pose, the wrong clothing, furniture that looks nothing like what's actually specified. Redrawing a person or a chair by hand for one plan is slow, and buying another library subscription for a single block is a waste.

pic2CAD turns a picture of a person, an object or a piece of furniture into a line block you own. Export it as a DXF in millimetres, at the height you set in Orthographic view or as a fixed reference block in Subject only, ready to drop into AutoCAD, Revit or ArchiCAD.

Ideal for

  • Studios building their own block library from their own site pictures
  • Renders and elevations where the people or furniture should look intentional
  • Engineering drawings that need a specific piece of equipment, not a stand-in
  • Competition boards where every figure should look like it belongs

Frequently asked questions

Millimetres, the unit AutoCAD, Revit and ArchiCAD expect. In Orthographic view you set the real height and the block scales to match; in Subject only it exports as a 1 metre reference block you scale yourself.
Yes, that's the point: turn the people and furniture you actually work with into blocks instead of a stock library. You confirm you have permission from anyone in the picture before it can be shared with others.
Yes. The same pipeline traces chairs, lamps, tables or any object in the picture into a line block: white fill inside, a heavy outline outside.
Yes. Generating a drawing spends a credit; downloading the PNG, SVG and DXF afterwards is always free, as many times as you need.
