How to convert USDZ to DWG
- 1
Open your .usdz file
Drag it onto the viewer above, or click "Open a USDZ File". Files up to 200 MB open directly; the parse runs in a worker so the page stays responsive.
- 2
Click Download DWG
Once the file is open, the Download DWG button sits at the bottom right of the viewer. The Export menu in the toolbar has every other format.

Download
The .dwg is written in the browser and saved straight to your downloads folder. No queue, no email, no watermark.
What survives the conversion
A file conversion is a translation, and formats do not carry the same things. Here is exactly what moves from USDZ into DWG, and what does not.
| Geometry | Kept | Both formats store triangle meshes, so the shape transfers directly. |
|---|---|---|
| Colors and materials | Reduced | USDZ can hold full PBR materials and DWG holds one color per object, so materials are flattened to that. |
| Textures | Dropped | DWG does not carry texture images, so a textured model arrives in flat material colors. |
| Layers and structure | Kept | Layers survive as real layers in the DWG file, so you can still isolate and toggle them. |
| Units and scale | Kept | DWG stores an explicit unit, so the model opens at true size without rescaling. |
What the DWG writer emits: The same geometry as the DXF export, written as a binary AutoCAD 2000 drawing by our own DWG writer, right in your browser. Layers, colors and units carry across, and nothing leaves your machine.
The source: USD / USDZ (.usdz, .usd, .usda, .usdc, .reality)
The composed stage: meshes with their UVs and normals, the prim hierarchy, UsdPreviewSurface materials with the textures bundled in the package, and the scale the stage declares in metersPerUnit. Reads the .usdz package, the binary .usdc crate and the ASCII .usda layer alike.
The target: AutoCAD Drawing (.dwg)
AutoCAD native. Hand it to anyone who asked for "the CAD file".
Opens in: AutoCAD, BricsCAD, DraftSight, Revit, Civil 3D, ZWCAD.
Your file never leaves your computer
Both the USDZ parser and the DWG writer are JavaScript and WebAssembly running in your own browser tab. There is no upload step, no server-side conversion queue, and no copy of your file anywhere but your machine. That matters for drawings under NDA, for client work, and for anything you would not email to a stranger.

Frequently asked questions
▶Is this USDZ to DWG converter free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no per-file limit and no paid tier. Innerscene.
▶Is my USDZ file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read with the browser file API and converted in the same tab. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly click Share, which is a separate, opt-in feature.
▶Will my colors and materials survive the DWG export?
USDZ can hold full PBR materials and DWG holds one color per object, so materials are flattened to that.
▶Do layers and named parts carry into the DWG file?
Layers survive as real layers in the DWG file, so you can still isolate and toggle them.
▶Will the DWG open at the right size?
DWG stores an explicit unit, so the model opens at true size without rescaling.
▶How large a USDZ file can I convert?
Up to 200 MB, and the ceiling adapts to how much memory your device reports. The conversion runs on your own hardware, so a desktop with plenty of RAM will handle more than a phone.
▶Can I convert DWG back to USDZ?
Not here. We read USDZ and write DWG, but not the reverse. the universal 3D viewer
▶Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. No plugin and no extension.
