Image Prep

No image selected Choose an image or sample to begin. Prep: exact source

Job name (used in SVG filename + provenance)

Samples

Prep Mode

Auto tune photo/art settings

Laser art prefilter

Blur (smooth noise)

Blur radius 1

Posterize (flatten colors)

Posterize levels 4

Boost contrast

Contrast 1.5

Step 2

Layers

Number of colors 4

Each color becomes one material layer

fewer layers more layers

Mode

Stacked (3D layers)

Solid pieces that stack on top of each other

Cutout (flat individual colors)

Each color region as separate flat piece (no stacking)

Output

Line smoothing 0

pixel-accurate smoother (may distort circles)

Cut smoothing (export)

Applies only to exported cut files. Preview + safety checks stay pixel-exact.

Min shape size (%) 0.01

Drop pieces below this % of image area. Low = preserves text.

Min layer difference (%) 5

Default 5 (preserves detail). Try 20-30 for chunky logos or posters.

Composite target (%) 99.9

Match is fuzzy (±32 per RGB channel) for material color tolerance.

Layer target (%) 99.9

Per-layer badge threshold for green/yellow/red.

Fill (optional)

Pattern type

Density 0.5

Stroke width 0.5
