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.
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.
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.
"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.
Any raster image becomes a bridged, sized, machine-ready cut file. Drop SVG and DXF straight into LightBurn or Glowforge.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
