About

DGN

DGN (Design) is the native design file format of Bentley Systems Microstation, widely used in infrastructure engineering (roads, bridges, pipelines) and architectural design. DGN files contain rich vector graphics, annotations, and reference information. Vector features from DGN can be extracted to standard GIS formats through the GDAL library.

DXF

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data exchange format developed by Autodesk, the native interchange format for AutoCAD. DXF stores vector graphic data in text format, including points, lines, polygons, text annotations, and layer information. In GIS, DXF is commonly used for data exchange with CAD systems, and many survey and engineering data are provided in DXF format.

Conversion trade-offs

DGN: limitations to know

  • Proprietary format, parsing relies on third-party libraries like GDAL
  • Complex coordinate reference system handling

DXF: what you gain

  • Supported by virtually all CAD software and many GIS applications
  • Suitable for exchanging data with engineering surveys

Why convert DGN to DXF?

Converting DGN to DXF is one of the most common workflows in GIS. DGN data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while DXF is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your DGN files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean DXF output — entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device.

Is the DGN to DXF converter free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting DGN to DXF?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your DGN file uses a projected CRS (like UTM), you can search any EPSG coordinate system by keyword or code and reproject in one step. Note: output formats that require WGS84 by specification (KML, KMZ, GPX) always reproject to WGS84 automatically.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes — drop several DGN files at once and each one produces its own DXF output.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your DGN file — drag and drop it onto the page, or browse from your device. You can add several files at once for batch conversion.

  2. 2

    The conversion runs automatically in your browser. No upload, no server — your data stays on your device the entire time.

  3. 3

    Download the DXF file. Each input produces its own output, ready to use in your GIS, web map, or archive.
