Do I need AutoCAD or design software to use FileCrank?

No. FileCrank is designed for users without AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or any other design software. Upload your file, choose your options, and download the result — all in your browser. No installation, no license, no subscription.

Are my files private and secure?

Yes. Your files are never stored on FileCrank servers. They are processed in real-time and deleted immediately after conversion, whether the conversion succeeds or fails. We do not track, log, or retain any file data. Privacy is built into FileCrank's core design.

What DWG versions does FileCrank support?

FileCrank supports DWG files from AutoCAD 2000 through the latest versions, including ASCII and binary formats. If you encounter errors with older DWG files (pre-2000), export them as DXF (the open exchange format) and use FileCrank's DXF to PDF converter.

Will layers and colors be preserved in the PDF?

Colors, line weights, and layer assignments are preserved in the PDF output. However, PDF is a flat format, so layers themselves are flattened into a single visual representation. If you need to edit layers or properties after export, use a dedicated CAD editor.
