Free 2D CAD for macOS
LibreCAD is a no-cost computer-aided design program available for macOS that specializes in two-dimensional drafting. It provides precise drawing capabilities suitable for technical plans and schematic illustrations.
Who benefits most
This application is well suited to architects, mechanical and civil engineers, product designers, and makers who need accurate 2D plans. Because it’s cost-free and approachable, hobbyists and students can also adopt it without financial barriers.
Main capabilities
- Precision dimensioning and measurement tools for accurate annotations and layouts
- Reusable block/symbol features to speed up repetitive drawing tasks
- Layer-based organization to manage complex drawings cleanly
- A straightforward set of drawing and editing tools designed for efficient workflow
Format support and sharing
LibreCAD works with a range of common file formats so you can import, export, and exchange drawings with other CAD systems and collaborators. This helps ensure compatibility when sharing plans or moving projects between different software.
Community-driven development and cost
As an open-source project, LibreCAD benefits from contributions and improvements made by its user community. Regular updates and extensions come from volunteers and contributors, and the software itself remains freely available for both professional and personal use.
