Image to Laser-Cut-Ready File. Free
Any raster image becomes a bridged, sized, machine-ready cut file. Drop SVG and DXF straight into LightBurn or Glowforge.
Convert any image to a laser-cut-ready file online, free, in your browser. StencilCut accepts PNG, JPG, or WEBP, then runs the full prep pipeline: vector trace, background removal, auto-bridging, machine sizing, and a preflight safety check. The output SVG and DXF are ready to cut on the first try, with no manual cleanup in Inkscape or LightBurn first.
Ready in seconds
Typical conversion finishes in under 30 seconds, no install, no CAD knowledge required.
Auto-bridged paths
Floating islands are detected and bridged so your stencil cuts as one clean piece.
Laser-ready geometry
Output is sized at 150mm wide and scales cleanly in Lightburn, RDWorks, AutoCAD, and Inkscape.
Free up to 5/day
No watermark, no email grabs, no paywall. Up to five free conversions per account per day.
How to use the image to laser-cut-ready file. free
- 1
Upload your image
Drag a JPG, PNG, or WEBP into the converter, or pick one from your phone or computer. Files up to 15 MB work.
- 2
Pick what to make
Choose Cut a stencil, Engrave, or Coaster. The AI tunes the pipeline for the format you picked.
- 3
Let the AI process
Background is removed, contrast is tuned, floating islands are auto-bridged, and a preview is rendered. Usually 30 seconds or less.

Download the laser-ready file
Get an SVG and a DXF for cutting, plus a PNG for engraving. Drop the files straight into LightBurn, RDWorks, Glowforge, or xTool.
Why "ready" matters
Most image-to-vector tools convert your image but leave the laser-prep work to you. that is the part where most beginners get stuck. StencilCut does the prep too: closes open paths, joins islands with bridge tabs, normalizes scale, and warns about lines too thin to cut.
Materials we tune for
You can tag the image with the material you plan to use. paper, cardstock, basswood, plywood, MDF, acrylic, leather, slate, anodized aluminum. The bridge thickness and minimum line width tune themselves for the material so the cut holds together.
Both formats, every time
SVG and DXF download together at no extra cost. Use the SVG when your software is happiest with web-style vectors (Glowforge, Cricut). Use the DXF when CAD-style polylines are preferred (LightBurn, Fusion 360, RDWorks).

Open the Converter →Frequently Asked Questions
Is the image-to-ready-file tool free?
Yes. 5 free designs to start, then credit packs from $2.99 for 15 credits. Credits never expire.
What is the difference between "image to SVG" and "image to laser-cut-ready file"?
Plain image-to-SVG just vectorizes pixels. Laser-cut-ready adds bridges, sizing, kerf-aware spacing, and a safety check. one is half the work, the other is all of it.
Will it run on my Chromebook?
Yes. The whole tool is browser-based and runs on Chromebook, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.
What about transparent backgrounds in the input PNG?
Handled natively. transparent pixels are ignored and only the visible content is vectorized.
Does the output cut on a CO2 laser AND a diode?
Yes. Output is machine-agnostic. tune speed and power per material in your laser software.
