StencilCut

Every StencilCut tool, in one place

Free online tools for laser cutting and engraving. Convert any photo or image into a laser-ready SVG, DXF, or engrave-ready PNG. Tuned for Glowforge, xTool, LightBurn, OMTech, and every major laser cutter. Browser-based, no install needed.

Photo and image to laser cut file

The full pipeline: photo or image in, bridged laser-ready SVG and DXF out. Tuned for hobbyist machines (Glowforge, xTool, OMTech, Sculpfun) and pro lasers alike.

Photo to Laser Cut File. AI Background Removal Built In

Real phone photos have backgrounds, multiple subjects, and uneven lighting. A naive vectorizer chokes on all three. This tool segments the subject first, drops the rest, then traces. you get a recognizable cut file instead of confetti.

Image to Laser Cut File. Direct Path, No AI Step Needed

When your image is already clean (logo, scanned drawing, icon), you don't need background removal or style swapping. just a fast vectorizer that produces a laser-ready SVG and DXF. This is that tool.

Photo to Laser-Cut-Ready File. With a Preflight Check

"Laser-cut-ready" means more than vectorized. It means bridged, sized, with paths closed and a preflight pass that warns you about lines too thin for the material before you spend the cut time.

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.

Photo to Stencil Generator. AI Background Removal Built In

Photos are the hardest input for a stencil maker. busy backgrounds, soft edges, multiple subjects. This tool removes the background, isolates the subject, adds bridges, and hands you a one-piece laser-ready cutout.

Image to laser engraving

Tonal engraving prep for wood, leather, slate, acrylic, glass, and anodized aluminum. Pencil depth, classical hatching, and five other engraving styles.

Convert Image to Laser Engraving. A Walk Through

The step-by-step version: pick a material, drop in your image, the AI applies a material-tuned contrast curve, and you download a tonal PNG plus an SVG wrapper that LightBurn imports as an Image layer.

Photo to Laser Engraving. Tonal Output From Real Photos

Photos carry uneven lighting, blown-out highlights, and busy backgrounds. all of which scorch as artefacts on a laser bed. This tool re-balances exposure, removes the background, and applies a material-tuned tonal curve before the engrave file is rendered.

Image to Laser Engraving. Any Raster, Right Pipeline

Different inputs need different prep before the tonal map. A logo wants threshold-clean output; a photo wants exposure rebalance; a scanned drawing wants noise cleanup. The converter detects which and runs the right one.

Laser Engraving Image Converter. Sane Defaults, Overridable

A laser engraving image converter that picks every setting for you on the first run and lets you override any of them on the second. Defaults that work for 90% of jobs, advanced controls for the other 10%.

Vector converters (SVG and DXF)

Plain raster-to-vector converters. Use these when you have a clean image and just need it traced.

PNG to SVG Converter. Built for Transparent Logos and Icons

Drop in a PNG, get back a scalable SVG that keeps the alpha exactly where it was. Best for logos, icons, line art, and screenshots where the transparent background is part of the design.

JPG to SVG Converter. Built for Compressed Photos

JPGs carry a layer of compression noise PNG doesn't. This converter does a JPEG-aware cleanup pass before tracing, so photo logos and scanned sketches come out as crisp paths instead of confetti.

Image to SVG Converter. One Tool For Every Format

Drop in a PNG, JPG, WEBP, or even a screenshot and get a clean scalable SVG back. The converter auto-tunes itself to the input format, so you don't pick threshold sliders or trace settings.

Picture to SVG Converter. Works Straight From Your Phone

No Inkscape, no Trace Bitmap, no laptop required. Open the page on your phone, tap to upload from your camera roll, and download the SVG when it's done. Same converter as desktop, mobile-first interface.

Image to DXF Converter. R12 Output, Auto-Bridged

A DXF you can drop straight into LightBurn, RDWorks, Fusion 360, or AutoCAD. R12 / AC1009 flavour for universal compatibility, sized at 150 mm wide, auto-bridged for stencil cutting.

PNG to DXF Converter. The Cleanest Source for DXF

PNG is the best raster format to feed a vectorizer. lossless, alpha-aware, no compression seams. This converter produces a closed-path R12 DXF that drops into LightBurn, RDWorks, or AutoCAD with no extra prep.

JPG to DXF Converter. Compression-Aware Vectorizer

JPGs come with 8x8 block-compression noise that confuses generic tracers. This converter runs a JPEG-aware cleanup pass before tracing, so the R12 DXF you download has real edges and not compression seams.

AI generators

Generate vector artwork from a text prompt or photo. Twelve styles. Output is laser-ready by default.

AI SVG Generator. Type a Prompt, Get a Vector

Describe what you want in plain English. the AI invents the design, then vectorizes it as closed SVG paths. Skip the "find a stock SVG, edit it, vectorize, fix paths" loop entirely.

AI Image to SVG. Detects the Subject Before Tracing

A traditional vectorizer traces every edge it sees, including every shadow and background object. This one isolates the subject first using a trained segmentation model, then traces. Cleaner SVG, fewer stray paths, less cleanup.

Machine-specific converters

Same engine, branded for the laser software your machine uses.

Glowforge File Converter. Standard SVG, Drops Into the App

A vectorizer tuned to produce SVGs the Glowforge App reads without complaint. Closed filled paths, no rendering tricks, sized at 150 mm so it lands inside the Basic, Plus, Pro, or Aura bed at a sane scale.

LightBurn DXF Converter. R12, Closed, mm-Unit

A DXF you can drop into LightBurn without the "unclosed paths" warning. R12 / AC1009 with closed POLYLINE entities, written in millimetres so "Use file units" lands at the correct physical size.
