How to convert PNG to DXF
- Add your image. A high contrast PNG or JPG works best: a logo, a silhouette or a drawing.
- Pick a style. Silhouette gives one clean cut line around dark shapes, Logo keeps every color as its own layer, and Outline traces single center lines for engraving.
- Set the size. Type the width in millimeters under Size and cutting. The DXF is drawn at exactly that size.
- Download the DXF. DXF is already picked next to Download. Save it and open it in your laser or CAD software.
Ready for the laser
Closed outlines
Every shape is a closed polyline, so your software knows what is inside and cuts it cleanly.
Real millimeters
Coordinates are in millimeters at the width you set, so nothing needs scaling after import.
A layer per color
Each color lands on its own layer, so you can give cuts, scores and engravings their own power and speed.
Single line engraving
Outline style traces the middle of thin lines, so text and drawings engrave as one pass instead of two.
Questions
Which programs open the DXF file?
Laser and CAD programs such as LightBurn, Inkscape, Fusion and AutoCAD open it. It uses the classic R12 format that almost every program reads.
What units does the DXF use?
Millimeters. Set the width under Size and cutting; without a width, the image size is used at 96 pixels per inch.
Are curves kept smooth?
Curves are written as many short straight segments, which every DXF program reads. They are short enough to cut smoothly.
Does the DXF cut or engrave?
The DXF holds the lines. Whether a line cuts, scores or engraves is set in your laser software, per layer.
Can I get an SVG too?
Yes. Pick SVG, PDF, EPS or PNG next to Download. Many lasers also accept SVG directly.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The converter runs inside your browser with WebAssembly. Your image is never sent to a server.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many images you convert.
