JPG to DXF Converter

Convert a JPG into a DXF cut file without leaving your browser. Trace the image, adjust the preset and physical size, then download clean polylines.

Convert JPG images into DXF cut files for Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, laser cutters and CNC software. The converter traces your JPG into vector paths and exports them as DXF polylines, entirely in your browser — no uploads, no account, no software to install.

JPG is a photographic format, so the cleanest results come from high-contrast artwork, logos and silhouettes rather than busy photos. For detailed photos the Photo preset simplifies the trace into larger shapes, which keeps the DXF small enough to work with. If you have the original PNG, use the PNG to DXF converter for sharper edges, or start from an existing vector with the SVG to DXF converter.

How to Convert

  1. Upload your JPG — Drag and drop a JPG or JPEG onto the converter, or click to browse.
  2. Choose a trace preset — Logo / Color works for flat graphics, Line art for outlines, and Photo for detailed images. Set the output width and units for the finished cut.
  3. Download your DXF — Import the DXF into Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, a laser cutter or CNC tool and cut the traced lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert a JPG photo to a DXF cut file?

Yes, but a photo traces into many small shapes. Use the Photo preset for a manageable file, or start from a high-contrast silhouette or logo for the cleanest cut lines.

Why does a JPG produce more paths than a PNG?

JPG uses lossy compression, which adds ringing and noise around hard edges. The tracer interprets those pixels as extra regions, so a lossless PNG of the same artwork usually traces cleaner.

Does the DXF keep the original image size?

No. You choose the physical output width in millimeters or inches, and the height follows the image proportions. This avoids importing a cut that is thousands of units wide.

Which units should I pick for Cricut?

Either millimeters or inches work because Design Space rescales on import. The unit setting writes the DXF drawing units header and sets how the output width is interpreted.

Is my JPG uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is traced and converted to DXF locally in your browser. It is never sent to a server.
