Image Lab: Image Slicer
Split one large image into an aligned grid of full-resolution tiles — with overlap for clean seams — to engrave beyond your bed size. Free.
What this tutorial covers
- Divide artwork into up to a 10 × 10 grid of full-resolution PNG tiles.
- Pixel overlap margin for clean seams when reassembling engraved sections.
- R#C# tile labels and a live grid overlay preview.
- Download tiles individually or bundled as one ZIP — client-side and free.
Validate the workflow on your machine
Treat the finished file as a controlled starting point, not a universal machine recipe. Confirm the artwork dimensions after import, verify focus and lens selection, and run a small test on scrap from the same material batch before committing the production piece. Change one variable at a time when tuning speed, power, frequency, line interval, or pass count. Record the machine, source wattage, lens, material finish, focus method, and final settings with the saved job. That short production note makes the result repeatable for the next operator and prevents a strong screen preview from being mistaken for a proven burn.
