Supports images
Choose fileRaster images are traced to vector paths locally and exported as DXF. A fit tolerance smooths contours with far fewer vertices. Supports PNG / JPG / WebP / BMP and other browser-decodable images.
What is it? Image to DXF traces raster images (logos, line art, scans) into closed polyline paths — millimetre units, Y-up — and exports them as DXF for CAD and laser cutting. Raster-to-DXF is a niche conversion — if your usual converter doesn't cover it, you can do it right here, locally.
TL;DR: Image to DXF Converter traces logos, line art and scans into closed-polyline DXF for CAD and laser cutting: drop a PNG/JPG, tune the fit tolerance, preview the contour and export. Free, no sign-in — tracing runs locally, images never uploaded.
How to use
- Drop an image — black-and-white line art or a logo works best.
- Optionally set the curve fit tolerance: higher values smooth contours and reduce vertices.
- The DXF is traced and downloaded automatically — import it into your CAD or laser software. The traced result previews on the page; adjust the tolerance and re-export without dropping the file again.
FAQ
Will photos convert well?
Photos aren't a good input for CAD tracing — the tracer relies on clean edges. We focus on turning line art and logos into clean, cut-ready DXF contours; preprocess photos with thresholding or edge extraction first.
Is it local?
Yes, tracing runs in your browser.
Are the curves exact?
No — the output is closed polyline approximations; the fit tolerance trades vertex density against smoothness.
Can the DXF go straight to a laser cutter or CNC?
Yes. The output is closed polylines in millimetres with the origin at the bottom-left and Y flipped to CAD orientation, so it imports at real size in CAD, laser and CNC software. Complex images produce many small paths — check the vertex count before cutting, dense contours slow the machine.
Do I need AutoCAD or any CAD installed?
No. Tracing runs in your browser and the output is a standard ASCII DXF, readable by any CAD, laser or CNC software that supports DXF — nothing needs to be installed on your machine, and nothing is uploaded.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Single-file conversions are free with a daily allowance and no sign-in — the daily quota resets every 24 hours. Tracing and DXF export run entirely in your browser.
Examples
- Drop a black-and-white logo → get an editable DXF
Supported formats
Limitations
- Best for black-and-white line art and logos; photos give limited results.
- Output is closed polylines — an approximation, not exact curves or arcs.
- Runs locally in your browser; files are never uploaded.
- Complex images produce many small paths — check the vertex count before cutting.
