NEW · LASER SVG

One image. Two laser jobs.

When you download, choose Laser SVG. PerfectVector turns your artwork into a laser file at the size you set, with no edge cut twice and cutting kept apart from engraving. Pick the job that fits your project.

Welcome frame: Cut out Laser SVG with red cut lines around the outside edge and every opening

Cut out

The outline and every opening are cut. The design itself is the piece.

The outside edge and every opening become red cut lines; borders between colors are not cut. The file lists openings before the outer edge, so the piece comes free last when your software keeps that order.

Best for ornaments, wall signs, silhouettes and cake toppers.

In the file: red hairline cut paths only.

Welcome frame: Engrave + cut Laser SVG with a black engraved design inside one red outer cut line

Engrave + cut

The design is engraved. Only the outside edges are cut.

The colors you choose, the darkest one by default, become black engraving fills, and red lines cut around the outside of each separate part. Fine details are engraved into the material instead of cut out of it.

Best for coasters, tags, keychains and engraved plaques.

In the file: black engraving fills plus red cuts around the outside.

  • No edge cut twice

    A standard SVG stores a shared edge in both neighboring shapes, so the laser cuts it twice. Laser SVG merges the shapes first. In a detailed 20-color mandala we tested, 43% of the standard file's cut path repeated an edge.

  • Real size built in

    Set the width in millimeters or inches and the height follows your artwork. The physical size is written into the SVG itself.

  • Cutting kept apart from engraving

    Cuts are red hairlines and engraving is solid black, each in its own group. Give each color its own power and speed in your laser software.

  • Checked before it downloads

    Every Laser SVG is compared with your artwork before you get it. If a check fails, nothing downloads and you see why.

WHERE TO FIND IT

  1. Open the download options
  2. Choose Laser SVG
  3. Pick Cut out or Engrave + cut
  4. Set the width and download
Try Laser SVG on my image

On this page Laser SVG is preselected, and it is included when you unlock a result. It prepares geometry, colors and size; set power, speed and kerf, and run a test cut, in your laser software.

MADE FOR YOUR WORKBENCH

Give your artwork a life beyond the screen.

A custom ornament. A layered sign. An engraved gift. Start with the design you already have, then adapt its paths to the material and the process.

  • Cut a shape

    Use outlines for signs, ornaments and silhouettes. Laser SVG's Cut out mode cuts the design's outline and openings once each; check the bridges that hold each piece together.

  • Score a detail

    Use a line to mark the surface. Thick raster strokes become outlines; draw a centerline separately when you need a single score.

  • Engrave a design

    Use vector shapes for logos and flat artwork; Laser SVG's Engrave + cut mode engraves them and cuts only around the outside. For photographic detail, use the raster engraving tools in your laser software.

THE WORKFLOW

From image to your laser software.

  1. 01

    Choose your artwork

    Upload a clear logo, silhouette or flat illustration. A simple palette and distinct edges give you a useful starting point.

  2. 02

    Preview for free

    Inspect the SVG paths and colors in the protected preview. Vectorizing and protected previews are free.

  3. 03

    Unlock and choose Laser SVG

    Use 1 credit to unlock the finished result. Remove unwanted background regions and simplify its palette in the editor, then choose Laser SVG, pick Cut out or Engrave + cut and set the width. Repeat downloads of that result are free.

  4. 04

    Import and test

    Import the Laser SVG, confirm its size, give the red cut and black engrave colors their power and speed, and run a material test.

BEFORE THE FIRST CUT

Check the file. Then cut the material.

Vectorization prepares the artwork. Your laser software is where you finish the job settings and check how the design will behave.

  • Keep the pieces connected

    Check narrow bridges, enclosed letter shapes and details that could fall out after cutting.

  • Check every contour

    Laser SVG removes doubled outlines for you. Still look for tiny fragments and details too small for your material, and draw a centerline separately when the job needs one.

  • Set the real-world size

    Confirm dimensions and material thickness after import. Adjust for kerf and test before committing a full sheet.

THE NEXT STEP

Keep the software you know.

Download a Laser SVG and finish the job in your laser application: red paths are for cutting, black fills for engraving. Import support does not replace a geometry check or material test.

LightBurn

Import the SVG, confirm its size, and check that the red cut paths and black engrave fills sit on separate layers. Set red to Line and black to Fill, then review the job in Preview.

Import guide

xTool Creative Space

Import the SVG and check its dimensions and grouping. Set the red paths to cut and the black shapes to engrave, then confirm your machine and material settings before running.

Import guide

Glowforge

Upload the SVG for vector cutting and engraving. Set the red step to cut and the black step to engrave, and review the order of the steps; raster JPG and PNG uploads are for engraving.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions before you convert?

What's the difference between Cut out and Engrave + cut?

Cut out cuts the outline of the whole design and its openings, so the design itself becomes the piece; borders between colors are not cut. Engrave + cut engraves the colors you choose as black fills and cuts only around the outside of each separate part, so the inside stays whole. Both are options of the Laser SVG download.

Do I need to clean up the SVG before cutting?

Less than before. A Laser SVG has no doubled edges and, by default, no background shape. Still check tiny fragments, narrow bridges and the physical size, and run a test on scrap material before the final cut.

Why won't my SVG import into LightBurn — or only lets me engrave?

The SVG contains vector paths rather than an embedded bitmap, but import behavior and operation assignment still depend on your laser software. A Laser SVG stores cuts as red hairline strokes and engraving as black fills, so you can give each color its own operation. Check the imported geometry, size and settings before running the job.

Why does my laser cut every line twice?

A common cause: neighboring shapes in a standard SVG both store the edge they share, so the laser cuts it once for each shape. Choose Laser SVG when you download: it merges the shapes first, so no edge is cut twice. To score a thick stroke with a single centerline, draw that line in vector or CAD software; Laser SVG cuts around shapes and does not create centerlines.

Is it free to make an SVG for laser cutting?

Vectorizing and preview are always free and unlimited — you only spend a credit when you download a finished file.
