The Problem

Paper plans are still everywhere.

Water districts, utilities, and municipalities manage billions of dollars of infrastructure documented on paper or scanned PDFs. Getting that data into GIS means hours of manual entry — tracing coordinates, building attribute tables, importing to ArcGIS. DrawBridge eliminates that work.

How It Works

Four steps from PDF to GDB.

1
Upload your PDF
Drag and drop any construction PDF. DrawBridge renders each page at high resolution.
2
Place pages on the map
Position and align your drawings over a real-world basemap. Rotate and scale to fit.
3
Digitize your features
Trace points, lines, and polygons directly on your drawings. Add labels to each feature.
4
Export and download
Download a ready-to-use Esri File Geodatabase (.gdb). Open in ArcGIS or QGIS immediately.

Questions

Questions

What counts as one page?

Each PDF page processed counts as one credit.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire. Buy when you need them, use them when you're ready.

What GIS formats can I export?

Esri File Geodatabase (.gdb), Shapefile (.shp), GeoJSON, and KML.

Do I need ArcGIS to use DrawBridge?

No. DrawBridge runs in your browser. The exported formats are compatible with ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, QGIS, and any GIS software that reads standard formats.

Is my data stored permanently?

Session data is temporary. Sessions expire after 24 hours. Export and save your .gdb before closing.

Does it work on tablet or mobile?

DrawBridge is designed for desktop use. A large screen makes digitizing much easier.
