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

CUT_HOLESInternal openings and enclosed cutouts.
DETAILInternal paths for engraving or scoring.
CUT_OUTERThe outside perimeter of the finished part.
Export SVG for laser workflows or DXF for CNC and CAM software.
Logos, icons, product graphics and high-contrast images with clearly visible outer edges, internal details and holes.
Closed, simplified paths organized as CUT_HOLES, DETAIL and CUT_OUTER at true scale.
Laser cutting and engraving shops, sign makers, personalization studios and CNC operators.
Produces simplified closed contours with fewer unnecessary nodes and less manual cleanup. Unlike Centerline or Tonal Line Vectorization, every path is closed.
Cut-ready SVG with closed paths, production layers and true-scale dimensions for LightBurn and xTool.
True-scale DXF with the same closed contours and production groups for CNC routing, sign cutting and CAM software.
Compare the original raster image with the closed vector contours created for laser and CNC workflows.
Drop a logo or clear-edged raster graphic anywhere on this page to open it directly in the workspace.
Set the contour detail and simplification level, then review CUT_HOLES, DETAIL and CUT_OUTER before export.
Download a true-scale, cut-ready file for LightBurn, xTool, or your CNC and CAM workflow.
Turn clear-edged logos and graphics into closed, organized paths for laser cutting, vector engraving, scoring and CNC routing.
Convert clear-edged graphics into clean contours without duplicate paths that can cause double-burns.
Use CUT_OUTER, DETAIL and CUT_HOLES to assign separate cutting, scoring and engraving settings.
Prepare names, logos and graphics for gifts, tags, merchandise and custom products.
Create closed outer profiles, internal details and mounting holes for signage and fabricated panels.
Use simplified, lower-node paths for smoother machine movement and consistent batch production.
Export true-scale DXF contours for routing, plasma cutting, sign production and other CAM workflows.
