Adjust threshold and smoothing until the live preview shows the outline you want.
Download the DXF
Click download and open the file in your CAD, CAM or laser software.
About formats
A raster image stores a picture as a grid of pixels, each holding a colour value. The common raster formats include PNG and BMP, which are lossless, JPG, which is lossy and built for photographs, GIF, which is palette based and supports animation, and the modern WebP and AVIF, which compress far more efficiently. What they all share is that they describe colour, not geometry: a raster image has no concept of a line, an arc or a contour. That is why turning any image into a CAD file means tracing the boundaries between light and dark into vector paths. The cleaner and higher in contrast the image, the more accurate the traced DXF contours will be.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert any image to DXF?
DXF is the standard exchange format for CAD, CAM and laser software. Converting your image into a DXF turns a flat picture into vector cut paths you can open and edit in AutoCAD, Fusion, LibreCAD and LightBurn.
What software opens a DXF file?
AutoCAD, Fusion, LibreCAD, FreeCAD, DraftSight, Inkscape and most CAD, CAM and laser tools read DXF natively for editing and fabrication.
Does the converter trace the image?
Yes. It finds the edges in your image and traces them into closed vector contours, then writes those as DXF polylines. Because it traces pixels, the output is an outline with no real dimensions or scale, which is perfect for flat cutting but is not a measured engineering drawing.
Is image to DXF conversion free?
Yes. It is completely free with no signup and no watermark. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so there is no server cost and no upload.
What image files work best?
High contrast images with clear outlines give the best DXF: logos, stencils, technical sketches, floor plans and simple shapes. Busy photos with shadows and gradients trace poorly because there is no clean edge to follow.
Can I use the DXF for laser cutting or CNC?
Yes. The DXF polylines drop straight into laser, plasma, waterjet and CNC routing software as cut paths. Set an output width in millimetres before you download so the part comes in at real size.
I have a different image, not an image. Can I still use this?
Yes. The converter accepts any common image, including PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF, and always outputs DXF, whichever page you started from. Just drop your file and it converts.
