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.

Terms of Service

Last updated: November 13, 2026

These terms apply when you use VectorForge. By using the website you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use VectorForge.

1. The service

VectorForge converts raster images (such as PNG, JPG and BMP) into DXF vector files. You can preview a conversion and download the resulting file. We may change, improve or discontinue features at any time.

2. Accounts

You can use the converter without an account. If you create one, you must give accurate information, keep your password safe and are responsible for activity on your account. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.

3. Your files

You keep all rights to the images you upload and the DXF files created from them.
You may only upload images you own or have permission to use. Do not upload content that infringes someone else's copyright or trademarks, or that is illegal.
You give us permission to store and process your files only so we can provide the service to you.

4. Check files before cutting

Conversions are automatic, and results depend on the image you upload. Always check the DXF file (size, scale and paths) in your CAD or machine software before cutting. VectorForge is not responsible for wasted material, machine time or damage caused by using a file without checking it.

5. Payments

Some downloads require a one-time payment. The price is shown before you pay. Orders are processed by our online reseller Paddle.com, which is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides customer service for payment questions and handles returns. Prices may include VAT or sales tax depending on your location.

6. Refunds

Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.

7. Acceptable use

Do not misuse VectorForge: no attempts to break or overload the service, no automated mass uploading, no reselling access to the converter, and no use that breaks the law.

8. Disclaimer and liability

VectorForge is provided "as is". We do our best to keep it working and accurate, but we do not guarantee that every conversion will be perfect or that the service will always be available. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using VectorForge and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend accounts that break these terms.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. The "Last updated" date shows the latest version. If you keep using VectorForge after a change, the new terms apply.
