CGM File

File extension .CGM
CategoryCAD File
DescriptionCGM is good for storing vector/bitmap (raster) data, mostly alternately. Contrary to a common false opinion, it is not intended for transmitting CAM/CAD data. Files can be built in CAD and other programs, and it is convenient to use them for exchanging CAM/CAD renderings. CGM was designed to ensure easy exchange of elements of both types, and it uses 3 encoding schemes: character-based, ensuring minimal file size and easy data sharing; binary, providing easy access via software utilities; clear-text encoding, enabling users to edit files by aid of text editing utilities.

FAQ ▼

What is a CGM file?

CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a vector graphics format used for technical illustrations, CAD drawings, and engineering documentation. It supports both 2D vector graphics and raster elements.

Why convert CGM to PDF?

PDF is a widely accepted format for viewing, sharing, and archiving documents. Converting CGM to PDF allows technical drawings to be viewed without special software and ensures consistent rendering across all devices.

Will vector quality be preserved in the PDF?

Yes. Our converter retains vector properties during conversion, ensuring that lines, curves, and shapes remain crisp and scalable in the resulting PDF.

Can I convert color CGM files to color PDF?

Yes. If your CGM contains color graphics, they will be preserved in the output PDF, maintaining the original appearance of the document.

Do I need special software to open CGM files?

Typically, yes. CGM files require specific CAD or illustration tools. Converting to PDF makes your content more accessible to users with standard PDF viewers.

Is batch conversion supported?

The online converter processes one file at a time. For batch conversion of multiple CGM files, we recommend using the desktop version of our tool.

Is my data safe during conversion?

Yes. All CGM files are securely transferred and automatically deleted from our servers shortly after the conversion process to protect your privacy.
