What is the Image to SVG / DXF Vector Tracer for Laser &?
Turning a picture into a cutting or engraving path is a staple job for laser, CNC, vinyl-cutter and 3D-printing users. This tracer converts a PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP or BMP into closed vector outlines using marching squares with sub-pixel interpolation: you set the brightness threshold (or press Auto for Otsu's method), choose how much to smooth the image first, remove specks below a size, simplify the path with the Douglas–Peucker algorithm, round the corners lightly or strongly, and set the exact output width in millimetres. The preview shows the thresholded source beside the traced shapes with an optional overlay on the original so you can check the fit.
Dark regions become filled shapes and regions inside them become holes, using the even-odd rule, so letters like O and A are correct. Export as a filled SVG for engraving and vinyl, an outlines-only SVG for cutting, or a DXF of closed polylines. Statistics show the number of shapes, nodes, size and cut length. It works best on high-contrast art; for photos, raise the smoothing, tune the threshold or pre-process first. Everything runs on your device.
