Here is a list of 5 free online DWG to Image converter to convert DWG files to different image formats, like: JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, etc.
DWG files are basically AutoCAD drawings which cannot be viewed with a normal image viewer and require DWG viewer. But if you don’t have a DWG viewer, you can easily convert DWG file to JPG or other image formats, and view them using your normal image viewer.
In this list, I have covered online DWG converter only, so that you don’t need to download any software, and can just upload your DWG file online and get converted image file back. The best part is that these websites do not add watermark to converted image file.
