What is a DWF file?
DWF (Design Web Format) is a file format developed by Autodesk to share rich design data without giving access to the original DWG or CAD files. It offers a highly compressed and secure way to distribute 2D and 3D drawings.
DWF files are optimized for viewing and markup, making them suitable for collaboration among stakeholders who do not need to edit the original design. They can include metadata, layers, and hyperlinks, and are often used in construction and engineering workflows.
How to open DWF files
DWF files can be opened with Autodesk Design Review or Autodesk Viewer (web-based). Some CAD applications and browser plugins also support viewing DWF files.
AnyConv can convert DWF to PDF or other accessible formats if you just need to view or share the file.

What is a DWG file?
DWG is one of the most widely used file formats in the field of computer-aided design (CAD). Originally developed by Autodesk, it is the native format for AutoCAD and contains both 2D and 3D design data, including vector graphics and metadata.
DWG files are highly efficient for storing large and complex technical drawings and are used across various industries such as architecture, engineering, and manufacturing. Because of their widespread use, DWG files are supported by many CAD programs, although full compatibility is best with Autodesk products.
How to open DWG files
DWG files can be opened using AutoCAD, DraftSight, BricsCAD, or free viewers like Autodesk DWG TrueView. Many third-party CAD tools also support DWG to varying degrees.
Use AnyConv to convert DWG files to formats like PDF or DXF if you only need to view or share the content.
