DXF Simplify

Local

Simplify DXF line/polygon vertices with Douglas-Peucker, locally in your browser.

What is it? DXF Simplify reduces the number of vertices in DXF polylines and polygons using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm, keeping the overall shape while producing lighter files for CAD, GIS or CNC.

TL;DR: Reduce DXF vertex count with Douglas-Peucker simplification.

How to use

  1. Open a DXF.
  2. Set the tolerance (in drawing units).
  3. Download the simplified DXF.

FAQ

Does it change circles and arcs?

No — only polylines/polygons are simplified; circles and arcs are preserved as-is.

How do I choose a tolerance?

Start small (for example 0.1 mm) and increase until the shape is simplified enough without visible distortion.

Limitations

  • No support for simplifying text or splines.
  • ASCII DXF only.
