Vectorize Raster Art for Laser Cutting — Clean SVG Output

Laser cutters need vectors — sharp paths the head can follow. Most online vectorizers are tuned for logo work and produce jagged, redundant paths that look fine on screen and confuse the laser. Lazrit's tracer is tuned for cuttable output: closed paths, smooth curves, no duplicate strokes.

The problem

Raster-to-vector conversion built for design apps produces files that don't cut well. Excess control points, open paths, overlapping strokes — all cause the laser to over-burn, double-cut, or miss features entirely.

How Lazrit handles it

  1. Upload your rasterPNG, JPG, or any bitmap. Higher contrast traces cleaner — black-on-white is ideal.
  2. Threshold and cleanLazrit binarizes the image at a tuned threshold and removes speckle noise before tracing.
  3. Trace to vectorsThe tracer produces closed paths with smooth Bezier curves. No open strokes, no double paths.
  4. Run topology + auto-bridgeSame as any Lazrit file — the trace is checked for fragile geometry and bridged where needed.

Frequently asked questions

Can I tune the threshold?

Yes — the threshold slider is in the workspace. Higher values keep more dark detail; lower values strip noise.

What about color art?

Lazrit currently traces a single binary layer. For multi-color artwork, decide what's cut and what's engrave, then upload the cut layer.

Does Lazrit clean up overlapping strokes from existing SVG uploads?

Yes — uploaded SVG is re-parsed and re-cleaned through the same pipeline.

Can I use AI to clean up the trace first?

Yes — the AI cleanup step uses your token budget to restyle the source image before vectorizing. Available on paid tiers.
