Logo for CNC Wood Sign
CNC wood signs use v-carving to incise logos and lettering into wood using a V-shaped bit. V-carving creates a variable-depth, clean-edged incision — wider paths get deeper cuts, narrower paths shallower. This geometry requires logos prepared as clean closed SVG paths, not standard illustration files.

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.

V-carve toolpaths calculate cut depth from the geometry of closed vector paths — the wider the path, the deeper the v-bit plunges before touching both walls. This means SVG quality for wood signs is fundamentally different from SVG quality for laser or vinyl work.
V-carve SVG requirements for wood signs: - Closed path outlines: v-carve toolpaths fill the interior of closed paths. All logo shapes and letterforms must be fully closed vector paths. - No fill or stroke styles needed: VCarve computes depth from path geometry, not from SVG fill colour. Colour in the SVG is only for visual reference. - Text as paths: convert all text to outlines before importing (Text > Object to Path in Inkscape). VCarve cannot read font files. - Appropriate complexity: very fine serifs or hairline details may not translate to a visible v-carve at wood sign scale. Simplify fine details to at least 1 mm stroke width at the target sign size. - The protected preview is available without an account; editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access.
How to create a v-carve-ready logo for CNC wood signs: 1. Upload the logo PNG to the logo vectorizer above. 2. Open in Inkscape: convert text to paths, close any open paths, run Path > Simplify. 3. Set document dimensions to match the sign dimensions. 4. Import into VCarve Pro or Desktop: File > Import > Import Vectors. 5. Select the V-Carve toolpath type; assign the v-bit angle (60° for detail work, 90° for wide cuts). 6. Preview the toolpath and increase text size if fine details are lost in the preview.
