DWG File

File extension	.DWG
Category	CAD File
Description	DWG is a Windows-based binary file format created by AutoDesk. It stores 2D and 3D design data created in CAD-package programs (AutoCAD, IntelliCAD, etc.) DWG files comprise vector image elements and metadata. The format is native to the CAD package, although there are non-native CAD applications, by aid of which you can open a DWG file. Since its introduction in 2000, several variations of the DWG format have been developed, and not all of them can be opened using a non-native application.

TIFF File

File extension	.TIFF, .TIF
Category	Image File
Description	The TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a widely-used file format for storing digital images, developed by Aldus Corporation (now owned by Adobe Systems). It is a versatile format that supports a wide range of color depths, resolutions, and image types, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications. TIFF files can contain multiple images, each with their own characteristics such as resolution, compression, and color depth. They can also be uncompressed or compressed using a variety of methods, such as LZW, ZIP, and JPEG compression. Additionally, TIFF files can store metadata such as keywords, descriptions, and copyright information. One of the key benefits of the TIFF format is its support for high-quality, lossless image compression. This makes it a popular choice for archiving and sharing images, especially in fields such as graphic design, printing, and photography. TIFF files can also support transparent backgrounds, making them ideal for use in web graphics and other applications where transparency is important. TIFF files can be opened and edited using a wide variety of software programs, including Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and Microsoft Paint. They are also supported by many operating systems and web browsers. Overall, the TIFF format is a robust and versatile format for storing digital images. Its ability to support multiple images, high-quality compression, and metadata make it a popular choice for a variety of applications, especially those requiring high-quality images.

Converted architectural DWG files to high-resolution TIFF for print archiving. The 600 DPI output was sharp enough for large-format printing.

Batch converted an entire project folder of DWG drawings to TIFF. A few complex hatches rendered slightly differently, but all critical dimensions were accurate.

Convert DWG to TIFF — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

What resolution is the DWG to TIFF output?

The online converter produces standard resolution output. For 300 DPI or 600 DPI print-quality TIFF required by large-format print services and archiving standards, use Total CAD Converter desktop software.

Does the TIFF output include all drawing layers?

The converter renders all visible layers. Frozen or turned-off layers are excluded. For control over which layers are included in the output, use Total CAD Converter desktop.

Can I use the TIFF output with a document management system?

Yes. TIFF is the standard document image format for DMS platforms including SharePoint, Laserfiche, OpenText, and M-Files. The converted TIFF indexes alongside scanned paper documents.

Is TIFF accepted by large-format reprographic services?

Yes. Large-format printing services (Staples, local reprographic shops) commonly accept TIFF at 300 DPI for plot printing. Submit your TIFF at the correct DPI for the required print scale.

What DWG file versions are supported?

The converter supports AutoCAD DWG files from R14 through current versions. Total CAD Converter desktop covers the complete version range.

What is the maximum file size the online converter accepts?

The online converter accepts DWG files up to 50 MB. For batch conversion of entire project drawing archives, Total CAD Converter desktop processes folders without size limits.

Does converting DWG to TIFF remove the ability to edit the drawing?

Yes. TIFF is a raster image format — the drawing geometry is rasterized into pixels. The TIFF output is a fixed image and cannot be edited as a CAD drawing. Keep your original DWG files.

Convert DWG to TIFF Online

Architects, engineers, and document archivists convert DWG drawings to TIFF to produce high-resolution raster images of CAD files for print production, legal archiving, and document management systems.

High-resolution output — rasterize at 300+ DPI for professional-quality print and archive
Lossless compression — TIFF preserves every line and dimension with LZW compression
DMS compatible — document management systems index drawings as TIFF images alongside scanned files
Fax gateway support — enterprise fax systems transmit TIFF; DWG is not supported
Free and instant — no AutoCAD license needed

What Is DWG?

DWG (DraWinG) is AutoCAD's native binary format for engineering and architectural drawings. It is the most widely used CAD format in the world, storing complex 2D and 3D geometry, layers, blocks, annotations, and drawing metadata. DWG requires AutoCAD or a compatible viewer to open. Converting to TIFF makes drawing content accessible to archiving systems, print workflows, and users without CAD software.

What Is TIFF?

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is the professional lossless raster format for print and archiving. It supports high-bit-depth color, CMYK color space, LZW/ZIP compression, and multi-page documents. TIFF is the standard format for engineering drawing archives, legal document systems, and print production. Large-format plotters and reprographic services commonly accept TIFF as the submission format for technical drawings.
