Image to DXF converter FAQ
Is this image to DXF converter free?
Yes. Convert and download as many DXF and SVG files as you like, with no account, subscription or watermark.
Which images work best?
High-contrast pictures with clear shapes: logos, silhouettes, icons, stencils and line art. For a photo, the converter traces the dark (or light) areas, so simplify it to two tones first, or make a silhouette with an AI image generator.
Will the DXF open in my software?
The file is AutoCAD R12 DXF, the version nearly every program reads: LightBurn, LaserGRBL, RDWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion, SolidWorks, Inkscape, VCarve, SheetCam and more. Each shape is a closed polyline on a layer called CUT.
How do I set the size?
Enter the width in millimetres or inches; the height follows the image’s proportions. The width is measured across the traced shapes, not the empty margin around them, so a 100 mm logo cuts at 100 mm.
Are holes kept?
Yes. The middle of an O or the eye of a fox becomes its own closed outline, so it is cut out too. Tick Outer outline only to get just the silhouette, for example for a sticker or a backing piece.
What is the cut length for?
It is the total length of every outline at the size you set. Laser cutting services often price by cut length, and it tells you roughly how long a job will take.
DXF or SVG?
DXF for CAD, CNC and most laser software. SVG for Glowforge, xTool, Cricut and Silhouette: choose Cut lines for hairline red outlines, or Filled for solid shapes to engrave or cut on a cutting machine.
Does it add kerf compensation?
No. The outlines follow the image exactly. Set the kerf offset in your laser or CAM software, where it matches your machine and material.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The image is traced in your browser and never leaves your device.
