Lightburn DXF Converter — Free
Turn any image into a clean DXF that imports perfectly into Lightburn. Auto-bridged, R12 format, ready to cut on any laser Lightburn supports.
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.
Purpose-built for Lightburn
Lightburn imports DXF best when the geometry is closed polylines with no stray open paths. That is exactly what our converter produces. No "unclosed shape" warnings, no manual path joining in Lightburn before you can cut.
DXF format compatibility
We export AC1009 (DXF R12), the flavor Lightburn and every other laser CAM tool reads without complaint. Newer DXF versions sometimes throw import errors in older Lightburn builds — R12 avoids that entirely.
Which lasers?
Any laser Lightburn controls: Ruida, GRBL diode machines, xTool D1/M1, Atomstack, Ortur, OMTech, Boss Laser, Trocen, and more. If Lightburn drives it, our DXF will cut on it.
