About LibreCAD

LibreCAD is an open source program for drawing in two dimensions. It runs on Windows, Apple and Linux computers and is built and supported by a volunteer community of users, developers and translators.

What LibreCAD offers

  • 2D drafting: a mature set of drawing tools for technical and architectural plans.
  • Open source licence: released under the GPLv2, so the code can be read, copied and changed.
  • Language coverage: available in over 30 languages.
  • Community support: documentation and help are provided by the user community.

Who it serves

Individual designers, engineers, hobbyists and anyone who wants a CAD tool without licence costs. The project also invites coders, writers, testers and translators to contribute.

Key facts

  • Platforms: Windows, macOS and Linux
  • Origin: Began as an effort to add CAM features to the community edition of QCad, then split off as CADuntu before being renamed
  • Current series: 2.2.0, which needs Qt5
