What's the difference between STP and DWG?

STP 3D Model is stp file extension for step exchange format. AutoCAD Drawing is autodesk autocad native drawing format. Key difference: STP 3D Model excels at identical to STEP — same ISO standard for CAD exchange, while AutoCAD Drawing offers industry standard for 2D/3D CAD design.

How does the STP to DWG conversion work technically?

Xonvert uses WebAssembly-compiled libraries to decode your STP file in-browser, process the cad data, and re-encode it as DWG. All processing happens on your device's CPU.

What happens to my files after conversion?

Nothing — your files exist only in your browser's memory during conversion. Once you close the page, all data is cleared. No files are stored anywhere.

STP 3D Model is STP file extension for STEP exchange format. It is primarily used for engineering data exchange with alternative extension. Same format as .step — only the extension length differs

Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?

Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target DWG format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.

Does the conversion preserve metadata?

Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
