ℹ️ About Image to DXF Converter

Image to DXF Converter is a free browser-based tool that converts raster images (PNG, JPG) into DXF vector paths for CNC machines, laser cutters, and engraving.

The converter analyzes image edges using a threshold algorithm, then writes the detected edge points as DXF POINT entities. This simple tracing approach works well for line art, logos, and simple shapes.

Ideal for CNC operators and makers who need to convert bitmap images into machine-readable paths.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.

What image formats are supported?

PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, WebP. Complex photos may produce noise — best for line art and logos.

What DXF entity is output?

POINT entities at detected edges. For cleaner output, use a vector source (SVG, DXF) if available.

Can I use it for laser engraving?

Yes. The DXF output works with laser engraving software, though quality depends on the source image.

What is the tracing threshold?

Currently a fixed threshold (128). Adjustable threshold may be added in a future update.
