A real drafting tool
Command line, object snap, grips, layers, blocks, dimensions and hatch. If you know AutoCAD, you already know this.
2D CAD in the browser Draw, measure and hand over without installing anything
Cadlite is a 2D CAD editor that opens in a tab. It reads DWG and DXF, draws the way a drafting tool should, and has an assistant that can trace a plan or price a take-off for you.
Free to start. No card.
Everything a drawing needs
An online CAD editor with the commands you already use, in a tab that opens in a second.
DWG and DXF, both ways
Open what the office sent you and send back something it can open. No install, no licence server, no seat to free up.
An assistant that draws
Trace a plan from a photo, price a take-off, or ask what is in the drawing. It uses the same operations you do, one undo step at a time.
Your drawings, everywhere
Projects live with your account, so the tab you had open on one machine is the tab that opens on the next. With an organization account, share them in the cloud with everyone on your team.
Blocks that stay yours
A standard door and window library, plus anything you save. Drawn in millimetres and scaled into whatever the drawing uses.
A plan that fits the work
Start free and draft as much as you like. When the assistant and DWG conversion become part of your day, pick a monthly plan, or top up with a credit pack that never expires.
The editor is free. AI is usage-based.
Draft without a meter. Spend tokens only when the assistant does work for you.

FAQ
The short version of how Cadlite works before you open your first drawing.
Is the editor really free?
Yes. Drawing, editing, layers, blocks, dimensions, saving, autosave and exporting to DXF, JSON or PDF are free, with no time limit or card. Tokens are only used for AI work and DWG conversion; the Usage page shows exactly what uses them.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Cadlite runs in a modern browser, with no download, plug-in or licence server.
Can I open DWG and DXF files?
Yes, both. DXF files are read right in your browser. DWG files are converted on our servers, which uses tokens based on the file's size - and so does exporting as DWG. Exporting to DXF is always free.
Will it feel familiar if I use AutoCAD?
If you use AutoCAD, the workflow will feel familiar: command aliases, object snap, grips, layers, blocks, dimensions and hatch. Cadlite is an independent product and is not affiliated with Autodesk.
What uses tokens?
AI work - tracing a plan, analysing a drawing, preparing a take-off or making changes for you - and DWG conversion. AI costs depend on the task and model, and the model picker shows each model's rate before you start. DWG conversion costs depend on file size.
Do tokens expire?
A monthly plan's tokens are for that month. Whatever is left when the month ends does not carry over, and the next month starts again with the plan's full allowance. Tokens from a one-off pack stay in your balance until you use them.
Can my team work on the same drawings?
Yes, with an organization account. The organization has its own workspace in the cloud: every member opens its drawings and saves their changes, and a member can move one of their own drawings into it. Only the organization's owner deletes its drawings.
What happens when tokens run out or my plan ends?
If tokens run out, the assistant and DWG conversion wait until you add more; drafting, saving and exporting remain free. If a plan ends and your drawings no longer fit the storage available, Cadlite gives you 14 days' notice in the app and by e-mail to download, tidy up or renew before the oldest over-limit drawings are removed.
