About This Tool

This advanced online tool converts uploaded images (JPG, PNG, BMP) into G-code files ready for CNC machines, laser engravers, and 3D printers. The tool processes images using edge detection algorithms, allows customization of cutting parameters (feed rate, depth, power), and provides a real-time preview of the generated toolpath. Users can adjust threshold sensitivity, choose between outline or fill modes, and download the G-code file directly. The converter handles grayscale conversion, dithering options, and generates optimized machine code with proper coordinate systems and safety commands.

How to Use

  1. Upload an image file (JPG, PNG, or BMP) using the drag-and-drop area or file selector.
  2. Adjust conversion parameters: threshold for edge detection, feed rate, depth per pass, and tool diameter.
  3. Choose processing mode (Outline or Fill) and preview the generated toolpath.
  4. Click 'Generate G-code' to convert the image.
  5. Download the G-code file or copy the code to clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What image formats are supported?
The tool supports JPG, PNG, and BMP image formats. For best results, use high-contrast images with clear edges.
What G-code standards does it generate?
The tool generates standard RS-274 G-code compatible with most CNC controllers, including GRBL, Mach3, and LinuxCNC. It includes proper coordinate system setup (G90/G91) and safety commands.
Can I adjust the cutting parameters?
Yes, you can customize feed rate (mm/min), depth per pass (mm), tool diameter (mm), and threshold sensitivity for edge detection. These parameters are included in the generated G-code.
Is there a file size limit?
For optimal performance, images should be under 5MB. Larger images may take longer to process but will still work.
Does the tool work on mobile devices?
Yes, the converter is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. You can upload images from your mobile device and generate G-code on the go.
