How do I convert an image to DXF?

Upload a PNG or JPG image, click "Convert to DXF" and download your file. VectorForge turns the image into black and white, traces the shapes into clean vector paths and exports them as a DXF file.

Which image formats can I upload?

You can upload PNG, JPG, JPEG and BMP images up to 10 MB.

Can I use the DXF file with my laser cutter or CNC machine?

Yes. DXF is the standard file format for laser cutters, CNC routers, plasma cutters and waterjets, and it opens in CAD programs such as AutoCAD, Fusion 360, LightBurn, Inkscape and LibreCAD.

What kind of images give the best results?

High-contrast images work best: logos, silhouettes, line drawings, sketches and text on a plain background. Photos with many shades and soft edges are harder to trace into clean lines.

Do I need to install any software?

No. VectorForge runs in your browser, so it works on Windows, Mac, Linux and tablets.

Do I need an account?

You can convert without an account. Create a free account to save your conversions and download them again later.
