SVG Centerline Trace

Upload a PNG or JPG and get back a laser-ready SVG with paths running along the center of each stroke.

Works best with: signatures, handwriting, brush lettering, Procreate single-stroke art, bold clip-art outlines on a white background.
Not suited for centerline tracing: photos, filled illustrations, colored or gradient backgrounds, fine hatching or crosshatching. These produce complex or noisy paths - use them as a raster image in your laser software instead.

Single-line engraving from strokes

Normal fonts and artwork engrave as filled outlines, which the laser traces around both edges. Centerline trace reduces a stroke or thin shape to one path down the middle, so the laser follows a single crisp line. Ideal for line text, signatures, and fine detail.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use centerline?

For single-line engraving of text and thin artwork, so the laser traces one line instead of outlining both edges.
