Free laser cut SVG & DXF editor

Edit, repair, and prepare designs for any laser cutter — free, in your browser. Import SVG, DXF, PNG, JPG, or WebP, remove photo backgrounds, convert images to engraving-ready black and white, trace pictures into real vector cut lines, check the design for problems like floating pieces and hairline strokes, then export a clean SVG or DXF at true millimeter size.

How it works

  1. Import. Drag in a file, paste an image, or pull a design from your StencilCut history. Photos, logos, SVGs from any tool, and DXFs all work.
  2. Edit. Move, resize in exact millimeters, add text with cut-safe stencil fonts, add shapes, align and repeat. The Image tab converts photos to stencils, dithers, halftones, or pencil-style engravings.
  3. Fix. Press Check design. The editor finds floating pieces, thin lines, tiny holes, open paths, and duplicate cuts — and fixes most of them with one click.
  4. Export. Download SVG or DXF at real size, ready for LightBurn, xTool, Glowforge, RDWorks, and any other laser software.

Common questions

Is the laser editor really free?

Yes. Importing, editing, tracing, background removal, laser checks, and exporting SVG, DXF, and PNG are all free and run in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

What file types can I import and export?

Import PNG, JPG, WebP, SVG, and DXF (lines, polylines, circles, arcs, ellipses, and splines). Export SVG and DXF at true millimeter size, plus PNG previews at 96–300 DPI.

How do I convert a photo into something I can cut?

Import the photo, optionally remove the background, pick "Black & white stencil" to threshold it, then press "Trace image → vector". You get real cut paths you can edit, offset for kerf, and export as SVG or DXF.

What does "Check design" find?

It scans for the classic cut-ruiners: floating pieces that fall out after cutting, lines thinner than 1.5mm, tiny holes that char instead of cutting, open paths, duplicate cuts, and parts hanging off your sheet. Most have a one-click fix.

Does it work with my laser software?

Yes — exported SVG and DXF files keep their real-world dimensions and open correctly in LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, Glowforge, RDWorks, and any other software that reads SVG or DXF.

What is kerf compensation and do I need it?

The laser beam burns away a thin strip of material (the kerf, usually 0.1–0.3mm). For parts that must fit together precisely, grow the shape by half your kerf using the Offset tool in the Vector tab.
