Image to CAD Conversion Services
From images, photos, or screenshots, we convert JPG, PNG, TIFF, and BMP files into fully editable CAD. The exported files are scaled, layered, dimensioned, and standardized to your firm’s CAD template. We determine scale where none exists in the source image, then correct for perspective and skew distortion, so the final CAD output aligns with real-world dimensions. Direct employees only. ISO-certified.

Track Record in Numbers *
Numbers our clients hold us to, measured across every drawing and model we deliver.
On-time delivery
Drawing sets delivered on the schedule agreed at project kickoff, so your permit submissions and downstream project timelines stay on track.
Drawing accuracy
Verified against internal QC checklists and applicable code requirements before a set ever reaches your desk.
First-time client approval
Drawing sets approved by architecture firms on the first review round, with minimal revision cycles needed.
Revision request rate
Requests for rework after delivery, a reflection of the accuracy built into the drafting process from the start.
Why Enterprise Firms Choose Gsource for Image to CAD
Scale Established Where the Image Has None
Loose images rarely carry a usable scale. We set true scale from known references, dimension callouts, or client-supplied measurements, so your CAD output is dimensionally correct, not a proportional guess.
Distortion Photo and Perspective Corrected
First photos of drawings are often skewed and lens-distorted. We square and correct the geometry before drafting, so lines, angles, and dimensions align with the real world instead of the camera.
Human Redraw, Not Auto-Trace
Automated raster-to-vector tools produce unusable line soup on engineering drawings. Our senior drafters redraw to your standards, layered, blocked, and dimensioned, delivering CAD files that your team can actually edit.
Standards-Aligned, ISO 27001
Handling deliverables in your CAD template, layer conventions, and naming standards. Direct employees only, no subcontractors. NDA on every engagement. IP and deliverables 100% client-owned.
What Director, VP, & Operations lead Say
A lot of our older facility drawings only existed as scanned images from past handoffs, completely unusable in our FM software. Gsource converted the backlog into properly layered CAD files we could actually load into our system, without us having to track down original source files that no longer existed.
Our drafters were spending hours every week just redrawing site photos and old image exports instead of doing actual design work. Handing that volume to Gsource freed up our internal team's time for higher-value tasks, and the batches came back consistent enough that we stopped spot-checking every file.
Clients are anonymized under NDA.

Our Image to CAD Workflow
Source Review & Scale Setup
Review your image files and resolutions. Identify or establish scale from references or client-supplied dimensions. Sign NDA and confirm IP terms.
Distortion Correction & Standards Onboarding
Square and correct skewed or distorted images. Map your CAD template, layer conventions, block library, and naming standards.
Sample Batch Conversion
Deliver a 3–10 file sample for your team to validate scale and standards alignment before full-scale production.
Full-Scale Conversion Production
Senior-led redraw to your standards, with weekly or milestone-based batches. Difficult or low-resolution images routed to specialists.
QA & Delivery ISO 9001
Quality checks against your firm-specific standards. Native CAD output (DWG, DXF, DGN, and PDF/A) delivered with source images and delivery log. Failed files reworked before delivery.
