LibreCAD

LibreCAD is a free, open‑source application for creating and editing two‑dimensional computer‑aided design drawings. It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, offering the same core functionality across platforms and supporting more than thirty languages. The program provides a full set of drafting tools, layer management, and file import/export capabilities without any trial periods, subscriptions or licensing fees.

The software is released under the GPLv2 license, allowing users to modify, redistribute and contribute to the code base. Development began as a Qt‑based extension of QCad and has migrated through Qt3, Qt4 and now Qt5, resulting in a mature and stable codebase maintained by an active community of contributors and developers. Documentation, forums and chat channels are available to help users and to encourage participation.

LibreCAD is intended for hobbyists, students, small‑business engineers and anyone needing a reliable 2D CAD solution without commercial constraints. Its cross‑platform availability and extensive language support make it accessible to a broad audience, while the open‑source nature enables customization and integration into personal workflows.
