Convert logos and graphics into cut-ready SVG and DXF

Contour Vectorization detects the outer shape, holes and internal details in a raster image and converts them into clean vector paths for laser cutting, vector engraving and CNC profile work. Simplified paths mean smoother tool motion and less manual cleanup.

  • Closed paths for cutting
  • Separate paths for engraving details
  • Fewer nodes and cleaner toolpaths

For LightBurn, xTool and CNC workflows

Clean contours, organized for production

Contour Vectorization converts the visible boundaries in your image into closed, simplified vector paths and separates the result into three production groups.

  • CUT_HOLES

    Internal openings and enclosed cutouts.

  • DETAIL

    Internal paths for engraving or scoring.

  • CUT_OUTER

    The outside perimeter of the finished part.

Export SVG for laser workflows or DXF for CNC and CAM software.

When to use Contour Vectorization

  • Best input - Clear-edged graphics

    Logos, icons, product graphics and high-contrast images with clearly visible outer edges, internal details and holes.

  • Output - Production-ready paths

    Closed, simplified paths organized as CUT_HOLES, DETAIL and CUT_OUTER at true scale.

  • Best for - Laser + CNC workflows

    Laser cutting and engraving shops, sign makers, personalization studios and CNC operators.

  • Why it’s different - Cleaner than auto-tracing

    Produces simplified closed contours with fewer unnecessary nodes and less manual cleanup. Unlike Centerline or Tonal Line Vectorization, every path is closed.

Export formats

FAQ

Use Contour Vectorization when you need closed paths around the outer shape, internal details and holes for cutting, scoring, or vector engraving. Use Centerline Vectorization when each visible stroke should become a centerline path and Tonal Line Vectorization for detailed linework derived from photographs and complex images.

Clear, high-contrast logos, badges, icons, decals and graphics with sharp boundaries work best. Use the largest, cleanest source available — preferably PNG — and avoid motion blur, heavy JPEG artifacts, soft shadows and busy backgrounds.

Yes. Laserlinez separates the result into CUT_OUTER for the outer perimeter, CUT_HOLES for internal cutouts and DETAIL for paths you want to score or vector engrave. Assign power, speed and passes to these groups in your laser or CAM software before running the job.

Yes. Adjust contour detail and path simplification in the workspace, then inspect the preview. Keep enough detail to preserve important corners and holes while avoiding unnecessary nodes that create larger files and less-smooth machine motion.

Choose SVG for LightBurn, xTool and design tools that preserve editable groups. Choose DXF for CNC or CAM software and fabrication handoff. Both outputs use the same closed-contour geometry; verify the imported dimensions and layer assignments before production.
