Turn a JPG photo of a logo, sketch or sign into closed DXF outlines your machine can cut.
Left: a compressed JPEG. Right: the clean SVG from Shapesoda. Drag to compare.
Most images people want to cut start as a JPG: a logo from a website, a phone photo of a drawing, a scan. Cutting and CAD software needs outlines, so the JPG has to become a DXF first. JPG compression adds blocky noise around edges, and traced directly that noise turns into ragged cuts. Shapesoda smooths it out, reduces the picture to a few clean colors and writes every color as closed outlines on its own DXF layer.
A phone photo of a drawing works best with even light and a plain background. Shadows and paper texture become extra shapes, which you can merge by lowering the number of colors or remove by hand. A real photo of a scene turns into flat posterized areas, which suits stencils and engraving art more than precise parts.
Smooth Bézier curves with only the nodes the shape needs. Easy to edit and cut.
Color fades become real SVG gradients you can edit.
SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF and PNG from one result.
Connect Shapesoda to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Recolor, draw, pick colors or remove shapes. No Illustrator needed.
Send a JPG or PNG, get an SVG back. Add vectorization to your app.
AutoCAD, Fusion, LibreCAD, LightBurn, Inkscape and most laser, CNC and plotter software that imports DXF.
Coordinates are in image pixels. Set the real size in your CAD or machine software; the vector scales without losing quality.
Yes. The same result downloads as SVG, PDF, EPS or DXF, and re-downloading the same image is free for 30 days.
Without a plan, one credit is one downloaded image, in any format. The Personal plan needs no credits on the website; the API plan adds credits every month. Re-downloading the same image — even in another format — is free for 30 days.
Not while your API plan is active: unused credits roll over, up to 5 months’ worth. When the plan ends, its credits expire. The free credit for new accounts does not expire.
Only when you need it. The editor keeps your image in memory only while you work, and an API request for a single format keeps nothing. When you ask the API for several formats, request storage, or use the MCP server, the image and the results are kept for 24 hours, encrypted with a key that only you receive (anyone with the result link can download it), then deleted automatically. We never use your images to train models. The list of recent images on the start screen lives only in your browser.
You do. You keep all rights to the images you upload and to the vectors made from them — we claim none. Please upload only images you have the right to use.
