PlanPeek
EnglishEN
DWG & CAD viewer for Android

Your DWG opens even where there's no signal.

Tap a DWG file in WhatsApp, email or your file manager and pick PlanPeek from the list. No account, no upload, no waiting for a server. PlanPeek never needs the internet.

  • No ads

    No pop-ups, no “watch a video to continue”.

  • No account

    No sign-in, no subscription, no in-app purchases.

  • No internet permission

    Android itself stops the app from reaching the internet.

How it works

How to open a DWG file on your phone

For the drawings that actually land on your phone: electrical, mechanical, structural, architectural and site plans, from AutoCAD and any other CAD program that writes standard DWG.

  1. 1

    A DWG arrives

    In WhatsApp, in an email, or already in your file manager.

  2. 2

    Pick PlanPeek from the list

    A preview of the drawing appears the moment you tap the file, and a real percentage bar shows how much is left.

  3. 3

    Pan, zoom, switch sheets

    Pan and pinch-zoom keep up on large drawings; layouts open as separate tabs. A drawing you've opened before comes straight back.

What it shows

Shows the drawing as it was drawn

PlanPeek reads the DWG itself on your phone; nothing is converted on a server first.

  • Lines, polylines, arcs, circles, splines, hatches, dimensions, leaders and tables
  • Blocks with attributes, including nested blocks
  • Text and multiline text, including SHX fonts, drawn with a matching single-stroke font
  • Draw order, layer visibility and colours, line types and line weights as saved in the drawing
  • Layouts (sheets) as separate tabs
  • Embedded raster images and OLE objects such as Excel tables
  • Missing references: attach external DWGs (xrefs), images and PDF underlays from your phone once, and PlanPeek remembers them for that drawing
Privacy

Your drawings stay yours

Project drawings are confidential, so PlanPeek is built so that this cannot go wrong.

Read the privacy policy
  • No internet permission at all. Android itself stops the app from reaching the internet.
  • Nothing is uploaded, scanned or copied to a cloud.
  • No account, no tracking, no analytics.
  • Recently opened drawings stay on your phone, and uninstalling the app removes them.
Scope

Good to know

PlanPeek is a viewer, not an editor: it does not change, draw or save drawings.

It opens DWG files saved by AutoCAD R13 (1994) up to the current DWG format (AutoCAD 2018 and later), and by other CAD programs that write standard DWG. R12 and older files, and DXF files, are not supported.

PlanPeek is for Android phones.

FAQ

Questions

How do I open a DWG file on an Android phone?

Install PlanPeek, then tap the DWG file in WhatsApp, email or your file manager and pick PlanPeek from the list. You can also open it from inside the app. PlanPeek is coming soon to Google Play.

Is PlanPeek free?

Yes. There are no ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases and no account.

Does PlanPeek need an internet connection?

No. The app does not have the Android internet permission at all, so it works the same in a basement, on a building site, in a tunnel or on a plane, and it cannot send your drawings anywhere.

Can I edit drawings with PlanPeek?

No. PlanPeek is a viewer: it does not change, draw or save drawings.

Which DWG versions does PlanPeek open?

DWG files from AutoCAD R13 (1994) up to the current DWG format (AutoCAD 2018 and later), and DWG files written by other CAD programs. R12 and older, and DXF files, are not supported.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not at the moment. PlanPeek is for Android.
