Download your DXF
Click download to save the converted .dxf file, or copy the output text. That's it — no account, no watermark, no limits.
Tip: Turn a list of survey points or assets with latitude/longitude columns into CAD points. Each point is drawn with its name as a text label, in UTM meters by default so distances measure correctly in CAD.
CSV (comma-separated values) is the universal spreadsheet and database interchange format, opened by Excel, Google Sheets, and every data tool. For mapping it carries one record per row with latitude and longitude columns (plus any attributes). It's the simplest way to get tabular location data onto a map, or to pull mapped data back into a spreadsheet for analysis.
Need the other direction instead? DXF is autoCAD's Drawing Exchange Format for CAD drawings. DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is the open, text-based CAD format Autodesk created so drawings can move between AutoCAD and other programs such as BricsCAD, LibreCAD, MicroStation and QGIS. Surveyors, civil engineers, architects and utilities use it for site plans, parcel boundaries, and road and pipe layouts. A DXF stores lines, polylines, arcs, circles, points and text on named layers, in the drawing's own units and coordinate system. That's often a projected grid such as UTM or State Plane rather than latitude and longitude.
CSV is row-based and point-centric: each row needs latitude/longitude columns. Lines and polygons are written to a geometry column as WKT rather than as drawn shapes.
The DXF is written as R12, the version every CAD program opens. Points, lines and polygons go on separate layers (or keep their source layer), and point names are added as text on a LABELS layer. Coordinates are in meters in the UTM zone that covers your data unless you pick latitude/longitude, Web Mercator or another EPSG code.

CSV to DXF — FAQ
- How do I convert CSV to DXF?
- Upload your .csv file using the converter above (drag & drop or click to browse). GeoMaps converts it to DXF instantly in your browser and gives you a .dxf file to download. No software to install and no signup required.
- Is the CSV to DXF converter free?
- Yes — it's completely free with no usage limits, watermarks or account needed. We offer it as a free tool from GeoMaps, the platform for turning your data into interactive maps.
- Is my data private? Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript — your file is never uploaded to any server. Because nothing leaves your device, it's safe for sensitive or confidential data and works even offline once the page has loaded.
- Can I convert DXF back to CSV?
- Yes. Use our DXF to CSV converter for the reverse conversion — every format on GeoMaps converts both ways.
- Anything to know about CSV input?
- CSV is row-based and point-centric: each row needs latitude/longitude columns. Lines and polygons are written to a geometry column as WKT rather than as drawn shapes.
- Anything to know about DXF output?
- The DXF is written as R12, the version every CAD program opens. Points, lines and polygons go on separate layers (or keep their source layer), and point names are added as text on a LABELS layer. Coordinates are in meters in the UTM zone that covers your data unless you pick latitude/longitude, Web Mercator or another EPSG code.
- How large a file can I convert?
- Because conversion happens in your browser, the limit is your device's memory rather than a server quota — files up to tens of megabytes convert comfortably on a typical laptop. Very large datasets may be slower depending on your machine.
