Simple Process

Three steps to your cut file

1

Upload your photo

Drag and drop any photo — JPEG or PNG, any size. The clearer the subject, the sharper the plasma cut.

2

AI generates silhouette

Our AI engine cleans your photo into a razor-sharp black-and-white silhouette, then vtracer converts it to smooth vector paths.

3

Download SVG & DXF

Get a ZIP with your SVG, DXF (SheetCAM-ready), and a PNG preview. Scaled to 40″ longest side — perfect for plasma tables.

Built for CNC

Everything your cutter needs

Skip Hours of Tracing

What used to take 1–3 hours manually tracing in Inkscape or CorelDRAW takes under 60 seconds. Upload, wait, download — done.

DXF for SheetCAM

Polylines on the CUT layer, Y-axis flipped for standard CNC coordinates. Works in SheetCAM, Mach3, LinuxCNC out of the box.

Smooth Paths

Bézier curves give your torch a smooth toolpath — no jagged arcs, no micro-segments that cause the head to stutter.

PNG Preview

A high-res PNG preview is included so you can verify the silhouette before ever opening SheetCAM — catch issues in seconds.

40″ Kerf-Aware Scaling

Scaler math respects kerf width — your smallest detail will never be narrower than 3× the torch kerf, preventing torch-through.

AI Background Removal

AI strips backgrounds and fills gaps to produce a clean silhouette — even from murky aquarium shots or busy outdoor backgrounds.

New Feature

SVG Studio

Tune your trace settings live before you export. See the cut lines update in real time — no guessing, no wasted credits.

Live Cut Line Preview

See the exact paths the torch will follow, highlighted in blue, updating as you move the sliders.

Simplify & Smooth

Two sliders designed for plasma cutting — remove fine detail and smooth curves to reduce torch stutter.

Export When It Looks Right

Choose SVG, DXF R12, DXF R14, or PNG. Export only when you're happy — no wasted credits on bad results.

Try SVG Studio

Works great on

  • ✓ Clear subject against a plain or simple background
  • ✓ Side profiles and full-body animal shots
  • ✓ Fish mounts, deer, eagles, wildlife — anything with a defined silhouette
  • ✓ Logos and bold graphic art

May need a quick Inkscape touch-up

  • ~ Very busy or cluttered backgrounds
  • ~ Multiple overlapping subjects
  • ~ Extreme fine detail (feathers, hair, lace)
  • ~ Low-res or heavily compressed source photos

Even on tricky images, TorchTrace gets you 80–90% there — you're doing a 5-minute cleanup, not a 3-hour trace from scratch.
