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.

Laser cutting machines operate in two primary modes: vector mode, which follows precise SVG paths for clean cuts and scores, and raster mode, which scans row by row for surface engravings. For clean precise cutting operations, SVG vector files are required. Converting PNG to SVG unlocks precision laser cutting from raster source artwork.
Upload your PNG design to the vectorizer. Import this SVG into your laser software — LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, Glowforge design tools, or RDWorks — and assign cut, score, or engrave operations to each path layer.
For cutting wood, acrylic, leather, or cardstock: the outermost contour path typically becomes the cut line. Inner paths can be assigned as etches or score lines. The layer color organization in the generated SVG maps directly to these operation assignments in most laser software packages.
For raster surface engraving: PNG can be used directly in many laser applications.
