Frequently Asked Questions

Which dithering algorithm is best for laser engraving photos?

Jarvis and Stucki hold detail best on wood and slate; Floyd-Steinberg is a good general default; Atkinson gives a lighter, higher-contrast result. Always test on the actual material — grain and colour change the outcome more than the algorithm does.

How do I convert a photo into a vector for cutting?

Use the AI Vector Artist tracing engine — it converts raster JPEG/PNG into clean vector SVG. Photographs with soft gradients trace poorly; increase contrast and simplify the image first for a usable cut path.

What does the image slicer do?

It splits an oversized design into tiled sections that each fit your machine bed, so you can engrave a piece larger than the working area and align the tiles.

Which Image Lab tools cost credits?

Photo prep, dithering, and thresholding are free. Neural Upscale and Background Remover cost 1 credit each, and photo-to-vector conversion costs 4 credits.
