LiberoDraft

LiberoDraft is a browser-based 2D CAD program for technical drafting, dimensioning and export. It is a strong fit for people who want workshop-ready drawings without putting drawing files in cloud storage. The trade-off is that access requires registration, and its focus is 2D rather than 3D design.

Overview

LiberoDraft brings drafting, dimensioning and print preparation into a browser workflow. Drawings stay on the user's computer, while DXF and SVG import and export provide a route to exchange work with compatible tools. That combination suits practical technical drawing, but not users who need a cloud-based project library or a broader 3D design environment.

Key features

Drafting and dimensioning

Layers, groups, blocks, object snapping, hatching and constraint sketches support organized 2D work. Dimensioning options cover mechanical engineering, timber construction and architecture, with automatic tolerance fields. Gear and screw connection generators add useful starting points for those specific tasks; they do not change the product's core 2D focus.

Layouts and file exchange

Sheets with viewports and printing to scale help prepare drawings for measured output. DXF and SVG import and export make it easier to move designs between compatible applications. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave and other modern browsers are supported, so the editor does not depend on a single browser family.

Local files and access

Drawings are saved locally, with no required cloud storage. Registration details are stored in the website's SQLite database, and a personal start link is emailed to unlock access. This keeps the drawing workflow local, but registration is still a hurdle for people who want to start without an account.

Pricing

The LiberoDraft plan costs free. It provides browser-based 2D CAD with local drawing storage; registration is required to receive the start link. There is no free trial, but the product has a free plan rather than a time-limited trial. No paid tier is described, so this is the straightforward choice for users whose needs fit the browser-based 2D toolset.

Platforms

LiberoDraft is a web application, with the maker identifying Linux, macOS and Windows among its platforms. Because it runs in a browser, supported options include Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave and other modern browsers.

Who it's for

The maker describes use in workshops, schools, offices and field work, including quick construction ideas. The mix of technical dimensions, tolerance fields, scaled printing and local files makes it most relevant to people producing or sharing practical 2D designs. Users seeking cloud-synced drawings, an installable desktop editor or 3D modeling should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Local drawing storage avoids required cloud storage, which suits users who want files kept on their own computers.
• Pro: DXF and SVG exchange, scaled printing and multiple dimensioning types support work beyond sketching.
• Pro: The free plan has no stated paid entry price, making it accessible for suitable 2D drafting needs.
• Con: Registration and an emailed personal start link are required before access, so it is not an immediate no-sign-up option.
• Con: Its scope is browser-based 2D CAD, not a general 3D design tool.

Alternatives

For a wider selection, browse 2D CAD Software. Choose LibreCAD if you want free open-source 2D CAD for Linux, macOS or Windows without trials, subscriptions, license costs or annual fees. GeneralCAD is another free browser-based 2D drawing option and does not require installation or sign-up, which avoids LiberoDraft's registration step.

Choose CMS IntelliCAD if you need a paid CAD option with a free trial, or its free ETOOLBOX CAD Viewer plan for 2D/3D DWG, DXF and DWF viewing on Android and Windows. RoomSketcher is a freemium alternative for 2D and 3D floor plans, with a free plan that starts with two credits and one free AI floor plan conversion. Floorplanner is a web-based choice for project-based floor planning: its free Basic account allows up to five projects, with three floors and three designs per project and SD exports with a watermark.

ProfiCAD, QElectroTech and OpenPlan3D are also alternatives.

Verdict

Choose LiberoDraft if you need free, browser-based 2D technical drafting with specialist dimensioning options, scaled printing and drawings stored locally. Its practical toolset and no-cloud-storage workflow are the main reasons to pick it. Look elsewhere if you need 3D design, cloud-based file storage or access without registering.
