What is a .BLK file?

The most common data format on the web.

A BLK file is an AutoCAD Block Template created by Autodesk AutoCAD. It stores which block definitions and properties from a drawing should be published to PDF/DWF or extracted as data. It holds no geometry; the actual drawing stays in the .DWG. You work with BLK files inside AutoCAD, not by double-clicking them.

Frequently asked questions

Is my .BLK file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened directly from the copy you pick.

My .BLK file is invalid. Can you fix it?

We show the exact line and column of the first error. For common problems like comments, trailing commas, single quotes or Python-style True/False/None, click Try to repair and download the fixed file.

How large can the file be?

Up to 50 MB. The tree only builds the branches you open, so even multi-megabyte files stay responsive.

What is JSONPath?

A path like $.orders[3].customer.email that points to one value inside the data. Click any node to see its path and copy it for code, jq or your API docs.

Can I see my data as a table?

Yes. Any array of objects can be shown in the Table view and downloaded as CSV.
