Everything you need to engrave & cut

Professional tools in a clean, native macOS interface

Image Engraving

Import PNG, JPEG, BMP, or TIFF images and convert to GCode with three modes: 7 dithering algorithms, grayscale mapping, or threshold. Adjust brightness, contrast, and resolution with real-time preview.

SVG Vector Cutting

Load SVG files for precise vector cutting. Supports paths, rectangles, circles, ellipses, arcs, and bezier curves with configurable speed, power, and passes.

Dual Layer System

Combine engrave and cut layers in a single job. Each layer has independent positioning, sizing, and settings — like working in Photoshop.

Precise Positioning

Move and resize layers with drag & drop or type exact X, Y, W, H values in millimeters. Frame your job boundary before engraving.

7 Dithering Algorithms

Floyd-Steinberg, Atkinson, Burkes, Jarvis-Judice-Ninke, Sierra, Sierra Lite, and Stucki. Pick the best one for your material and style.

Safety First

5-second countdown before every job. Auto-homing, soft jog limits, overscan clamping, and automatic laser-off at job completion.

Power/Speed Test Grid

Generate calibration grids to find the perfect settings for any material. Configurable speed range, power range, cell size, and resolution.

Flexible Work Origin

Use machine homing or set a custom origin anywhere. Supports bottom-left and center alignment. Jog to position, set zero, and start engraving.

Laser Pointer

Toggle a low-power laser dot to preview exactly where your engrave will land. Frame mode traces the full job boundary with the laser.

Project Save & Load

Save both layers, settings, and positions into a single project file. Reopen later and everything is exactly where you left it.

Full GRBL Control
