KonaCad is a browser-based 2D CAD tool for drawings that use real measurements.
What KonaCad is
KonaCad is a browser-based 2D CAD tool for drawings that use real measurements. It is intended for people who need full-size shapes without desktop software, including laser and CNC work and deck, garden, or floor plans. Its drawing commands include classic 2D tools, direct distance entry, ORTHO, object snaps, undo, and reusable symbol blocks. KonaCad imports and exports DXF files, prints to PDF, and describes SVG export for laser and CNC use. Standard print scales are selected automatically, with a scale bar and check ruler placed on each sheet; the maker advises checking the result on paper. The paid Everything plan costs $8 a month, billed at $8/month, and includes unlimited cloud drawings with autosave. New subscriptions have a 7-day free trial, require a payment method, and charge automatically unless canceled. Drawings remain exportable to DXF and PDF after cancellation. KonaCad does not support 3D.
