PNG to DXF converter online: vectorize your image

Q: Is converting PNG to DXF free?

There is a free trial with all features: 3 downloads (DXF, SVG or PDF) and 3 uploaded images. After that you can stay on the basic plan or subscribe to Pro for US$ 4.99 a month or US$ 45 a year.

Q: Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Vectorizing happens in your browser and the image is not sent to any server.

Q: Does the DXF come out at real size?

Yes: you set the final width in millimeters and the height follows the image proportions.

Q: Is it suitable for CNC, laser and plasma?

Yes, but always check the file before cutting, because automatic conversion may need adjustments.

LineWorkCAD turns a PNG (or JPG) image into vector lines and curves and exports them as DXF, SVG or PDF, ready for CNC, laser cutting, plasma or vinyl. Everything runs in your browser: your image is never uploaded to a server.

How to convert a PNG to DXF in 4 steps

Open the image. Drag your PNG, JPG, BMP or WEBP onto the screen (or press “Open DXF / SVG / image…”). It is vectorized automatically.

Tune the result. In the “Vectorize image” panel choose the mode (color or black and white), the algorithm and how much to simplify. You can set the final width in millimeters so the drawing comes out at real size.

Clean up the drawing. “Fix” closes gaps and trims overshoots; “Recognize shapes”, “Straighten”, “Smooth” and “Reduce vertices” leave clean outlines with few points.

Export. Save as DXF, SVG or PDF at scale.

Which images give the best results

Logos, silhouettes, line drawings and scanned plans with good contrast: the result is usually clean.

Photographs: they can be vectorized, but a photo PNG produces many outlines. For CNC or laser, use black and white mode, raise the threshold and simplify.

The higher the resolution and the lower the noise, the better. For small or JPG-compressed images, the “Consensus” and “Mixed” algorithms clean the noise; the image editor can remove the background and enlarge before vectorizing.

Why use LineWorkCAD to convert PNG to DXF

Private: the image is processed in your browser and is not sent to any server.

More than a converter: it is also a 2D editor. After converting you can measure, dimension, move vertices, trim, make arrays and change layers.

Built for manufacturing: it detects gaps, overshoots and crossings that cause trouble in CNC and laser, and fixes them.

Nothing to install: it runs in the browser, also on tablets and phones.

Several images: each new image is vectorized and placed next to the previous one.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting PNG to DXF free?

There is a free trial with all features: 3 downloads (DXF, SVG or PDF) and 3 uploaded images. After that you can stay on the basic plan (view, draw and save projects) or subscribe to Pro for US$ 4.99 a month or US$ 45 a year to export without limits.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Vectorizing happens in your browser. More details in the privacy policy.

Does it work with photos or only logos?

It works with both, but the best results come with high-contrast images: logos, silhouettes and drawings. With photos, use black and white mode and adjust the threshold.

Does the DXF come out at real size?

Yes: you set the final width in millimeters in the vectorizing panel and the height follows the image proportions.

Is it suitable for CNC, laser and plasma?

Yes. Even so, always check the file before cutting: automatic conversion may need adjustments depending on the image and the job.

Which other formats does it support?

It opens JPG, BMP, WEBP, DXF, SVG and .lwcad projects, and exports DXF, SVG and PDF.
