Convert Logo to SVG for CNC Machines
CNC routers, plasma tables, and waterjet cutters require vector files to generate toolpaths. Converting a raster logo to SVG provides the geometry data that CAM software uses to calculate cut paths and machining operations.

Protected Vector Preview
No account is required to create or view the protected preview. The preview accepts one PNG, JPEG, or WebP file up to 4 MiB; other source formats must be exported or converted to one of those formats first. Editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. Review the exported SVG in the appropriate downstream software; non-SVG formats and machine instructions require separate conversion.

Why vector files are required for CNC: - CAM software reads vector paths to determine where the tool travels. Raster bitmaps have no path data. - SVG paths define the exact boundary of the design for pocket cuts, profile cuts, and V-carve engravings. - Clean vector outlines prevent toolpath errors caused by jagged or noisy paths in bitmap-traced imports.
Converting a logo to SVG for CNC: 1. Upload the logo PNG or JPG to the vectorizer above. 2. The protected preview is available without an account; editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. 3. Open in Inkscape and review the paths — simplify any overly complex nodes. 4. Import into VCarve or Fusion 360 and generate the toolpath. 5. Simulate the cut before sending to the machine.
CNC-specific SVG considerations: - Profile cuts (cutting out the shape): the SVG outer boundary must be a single closed path. - Pocket cuts (removing material inside the shape): interior paths define the pocket. - V-carving: narrow paths produce V-carved grooves; depth is controlled by the V-bit angle. - This protected workflow exports authorized SVG only; use a separate downstream tool for other file formats or machine instructions.
Supported CAM software: Vectric VCarve Pro, Aspire, Fusion 360, SheetCam, Mach3, GRBL-based controllers all import SVG or DXF files generated from vectorized logos.
Use the vectorizer above to produce a CNC-ready vector file from any logo or design.
