Convert SVG to G-Code for Laser Cutting

Utility conversion tools with privacy-first processing and workflow-aware quality

Checking browser compatibility...

Convert SVG designs to G-code machine instructions for pen plotters, laser engravers, and CNC routers. Generates standard G-code (G0/G1/G2/G3 commands) compatible with Grbl, Marlin, and most CNC controllers.

Perfect for makers, CNC operators, and automation projects requiring direct machine control. All processing happens locally in your browser for complete privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

SVG to G-code Converter

What G-code format is generated?

We generate standard G-code (G0/G1 linear moves, G2/G3 arcs) compatible with Grbl, Marlin, and most CNC controllers. The output is suitable for pen plotters, laser engravers, and CNC routers.

Can I use this for laser engraving?

Yes, but specialized laser software (LightBurn, RDWorks) often works better with SVG or DXF directly. This converter is ideal for pen plotters, vinyl cutters, or simple CNC operations requiring direct G-code.

Are SVG curves converted to G-code arcs?

Where possible, circular arcs are converted to G2/G3 commands. Complex Bezier curves are approximated with small linear segments (G1) to maintain accuracy. Segment density depends on curve complexity.

What units does the G-code use?

G-code units match your SVG units (typically millimeters). Check your SVG viewBox and ensure it's scaled correctly before conversion. You may need to adjust G-code scaling in your CNC controller software.

Is this safe for production cutting?

Always preview and test G-code in a simulator or with air cuts before actual production. Verify speeds, feeds, and tool paths match your machine's capabilities. We provide the conversion—you retain full responsibility for safe operation.
