Convert PNG to DXF & EPS — Free Vector Export for CNC & Vinyl Cutters
Turn any image into a clean DXF or EPS your CNC router, vinyl cutter, or sign software can cut. No sign-up, no watermark — your upload is encrypted and deleted right after conversion.

Supports PNG / JPG / WEBP / GIF / BMP, max 20MB
PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, or BMP up to 20MB. Tip: enable background removal so your DXF has no stray rectangle around it.
Why your PNG won't cut in CAD software
AutoCAD, VCarve, Carbide Create, and SignCut read vector paths, not pixels. Drop a PNG into a CAM tool and it either refuses to import or raster-engraves the whole rectangle. Vectorizing first gives the tool a precise outline to follow — cut strokes and engrave fills exactly where you want them.
Before & After: Raster to Vector
Move your mouse across either image — a 4x magnifier appears on both sides.
At 4x magnification, the SVG is mathematically perfect — the raster reveals pixelation.
Pixel edges on the left become smooth, cuttable Bézier paths on the right.
Works with your machine
CNC routers
DXF drops straight into VCarve, Carbide Create, or Fusion 360 as cut layers.
Vinyl cutters / SignCut
Open the DXF directly; each color is its own cut or draw layer.
LightBurn & xTool
Prefer SVG, but DXF also imports as editable vector paths.
Sign shops / Illustrator
EPS carries PostScript paths and color for print pipelines.
DXF or EPS — which to export
DXF — for CNC, plasma & vinyl
DXF is the universal CAD interchange format. VCarve, Carbide Create, Fusion 360, and SignCut all open it directly, with each traced color as its own layer. Pick DXF when the file goes to a cutting machine.
EPS — for Illustrator & sign shops
EPS carries PostScript paths and color, which is what print pipelines and sign shops expect. Choose EPS when the artwork continues into a design or print workflow rather than straight to a cutter.
Cuts beautifully
- Bold logos and monograms
- Flat clip art and sticker silhouettes
- Line drawings scanned at high contrast
- Simple icons with solid fills
Fights the machine
- Photographs with soft gradients (engrave as a raster instead)
- Thin hairline strokes below ~1mm at final size
- Low-resolution images pulled from the web
- Busy multi-color artwork with tiny slivers
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Veclify traces your PNG into real vector outlines and exports them as a DXF file your CNC router, plasma cutter, or vinyl cutter can import. No desktop software and no sign-up required.

DXF & EPS for CNC, laser & sign cutters
Turn any PNG, JPG, or logo into a clean DXF or EPS your CNC router, vinyl cutter, or sign software can cut — free, in your browser, no sign-up.
DXF is the universal CAD interchange format; EPS is the print and sign-shop standard. Veclify traces your image into real vector outlines, so your machine follows a precise path instead of a blurry picture.
Why your PNG won't cut in CAD software

DXF vs EPS — which to export
Choose DXF when the file goes to a CNC router, plasma cutter, or vinyl/SignCut workflow — it carries the layers and polylines CAD tools expect. Choose EPS for Illustrator, sign shops, and print pipelines where PostScript paths and color are the norm. Both come from the same traced vector, so you can export either with no re-tracing.
Keep the node count sane
A trace that follows every pixel step creates thousands of nodes, which makes CAM previews sluggish and toolpaths long. Veclify's smoothing fits longer curves through the same outline, so files stay light and jobs finish faster.
Transparent background, no stray rectangle
Enable background removal before tracing so the result has no bounding rectangle. A leftover background becomes an unwanted cut line around your whole design — the most common reason a first CNC job cuts a box instead of the artwork.
