Electrical Drawing Software
Quick answer: Electrical drawing software that runs in your browser. Draw wiring diagrams, schematics, SLDs, and control panels with 480+ symbols, live schedules, and supported-model circuit simulation.
Best fit
Use this browser workflow when an editable drawing, structured electrical data, fast sharing, and common exports matter more than a native specialist desktop format.
Not the best fit
Use specialist software when the project requires native DWG intelligence, enterprise plant engineering, advanced production PCB/DFM, arbitrary vendor simulation models, certified power studies, or mechanical panel engineering.
Available capabilities
- Browser deployment without a desktop install
- Wiring, schematic, SLD, and panel documentation
- Live engineering schedules
- PNG, SVG, PDF, DXF, and CSV outputs
Representative test
Open a relevant sample, change one component and connection, then verify the exact drawing, report, analysis, and export your job requires.

Frequently asked questions
Is this electrical drawing software really free?
Yes. The starter plan is free with no signup required to begin — draw, edit, and export electrical drawings in the browser. Paid plans add unlimited drawings, all 480+ symbols, supported-model DC, transient, and AC analysis, and unlimited exports.
Do I need to download electrical drawing software?
No desktop download, license key, or plugin is required. The editor runs in a modern browser and keeps a local recovery copy; loading and server sync still require a connection.
What kinds of electrical drawings can I make?
Wiring diagrams, circuit schematics, single-line diagrams (SLD), control-panel and motor-starter drawings, and multi-page documents with title blocks. Four symbol packs cover DIY, hobbyist, professional, and industrial work (480+ electrical and electronic symbols).
Can it draw single-line diagrams (SLD)?
Yes. Use the professional and industrial packs — breakers, transformers, busbars, meters, and protective devices — to produce single-line diagrams, and export them as PDF or DXF for submission drawings.
Does it simulate the circuits I draw?
Yes — unlike most drawing-only tools, a browser circuit-analysis engine runs DC, transient, and AC analysis on your drawing, with voltages and currents shown directly on the schematic and an oscilloscope-style waveform viewer.
Can I export to CAD formats?
Yes. Export DXF for AutoCAD-compatible workflows, PDF for print, PNG/SVG for documents, a SPICE netlist for other simulators, and a Bill of Materials CSV for procurement.
How does it compare to AutoCAD Electrical or ProfiCAD?
Desktop electrical CAD is more capable for plant-scale projects with cross-referencing across hundreds of sheets. For wiring diagrams, schematics, SLDs, and control-panel drawings, the browser editor covers the workflow with zero install cost — plus simulation, which drawing packages lack.
