Branch your CAD drawings like code.
Draw, branch, and merge engineering drawings in the browser. Your whole team on the same canvas, in real time. Version control built for the people who draw.
Branch a drawing. Merge it back. Never email a file again.
Give every change its own branch, make edits in parallel, then merge them into one clean drawing, no copies, no overwrites, no final_v7.dwg.
Put your own drawings under version control.
Everyone on the same drawing, at the same time.
See your teammates’ cursors, selections, and comments live, then pick up exactly where they left off. And every edit is versioned, so who-changed-what is never a guess.
The end of the file-email shuffle.
Today a drawing scatters across inboxes as bracket_FINAL_use-this.dwg. With BranchCAD it’s one shared drawing with a clean, branchable history. Everyone always on the current version.
Trade scattered files for one clean history.
Watch a drawing branch, merge, and roll back.
A 60-second product tour is on the way. Until then, the canvas in the hero is yours to try, no sign-up needed.

Free online CAD, right in your browser.
BranchCAD is browser-based 2D CAD. Open a tab and start drafting. There’s nothing to download or install, it runs on any modern computer, and it’s free to start with no credit card. Draw precise lines and geometry with grid snapping and a live coordinate readout, the way an engineering tool should feel, not a sketchpad. It’s built for engineers, drafters, designers, and students who need precise 2D drafting without desktop software.
What sets it apart is version control, built in. Branch a drawing to try a change, merge it back when it’s right, and restore any earlier version, so you never email final_v7.dwg again. Your whole team can work on the same canvas in real time, with live cursors, comments, and a clean history of who changed what.
Free to start, with paid plans when you need full version history, advanced visual diff, deeper branching, and more seats for the team.
Start free. Upgrade when your team grows.
Free to start, no credit card. You keep your work and your version history. Paid plans add full history, advanced diff, branching and team collaboration.

Questions, answered.
Is BranchCAD really free?
Yes, free to start, with no credit card. The Free plan gives you unlimited drawing, one active project, 30-day version history with restore, and collaboration. Paid plans (from $5/month billed annually) add full history kept forever, advanced diff, branching, and more seats.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. BranchCAD runs entirely in your web browser on any modern computer. There's nothing to install and no plugins. Open a tab and start drafting.
Is it 2D or 3D CAD?
BranchCAD is a 2D CAD and drafting tool, for engineering drawings, plans, schematics and other technical line work.
What does “version control for CAD” actually mean?
You can branch a drawing to try a change without touching the original, merge it back when it's right, and restore any earlier version. Every edit is tracked, so you always know who changed what, instead of juggling files like final_v7.dwg.
Can my team work on the same drawing at the same time?
Yes. BranchCAD has real-time collaboration. You see teammates' live cursors, selections and comments as they work, and every edit is versioned.
Can I go back to an earlier version of a drawing?
Yes. Version history with one-click restore is built in, with 30 days of history on the Free plan and kept forever on paid plans.
Can I export my drawings?
Yes. The Free plan includes 5 exports per month, and paid plans include unlimited exports.
What file formats can I import and export?
You can import DXF and DWG drawings, and export your work as DXF, PDF, or SVG, so BranchCAD fits alongside the CAD tools you already use.
How is this different from other free online CAD tools?
Most online CAD is just a drawing surface. BranchCAD adds version control (branch, merge and restore) and real-time collaboration on top of 2D drafting, the parts that actually save teams from lost work and file chaos.
