1Drawing

Click or drop a scan / photo here
JPG or PNG. A flat scan gives the best accuracy.

2Real size

Which area are you measuring?

Width (mm) Height (mm)

Keep proportions (height follows width)

Enter the size the finished design must be. With proportions kept, only the width is used, so shapes aren't stretched.

My drawing's outer border line is the edge of the sheet Add a sheet outline around the design

3Clean-up & tracing

Automatic black/white level Black/white level Uneven lighting (photo with shadows) Invert (white drawing on dark background) Ignore specks smaller than (mm)

Advanced

Accuracy (max deviation, mm) Corner sharpness

Left = more sharp corners (geometric designs). Right = smoother curves (floral designs).

Straighten lines within (degrees) Turn round shapes into true circles Mirror left half onto right (perfect symmetry) Mirror top half onto bottom

4Cutting checks

Stencil / jaali (black areas are cut away)

Smallest safe detail (mm) Cut speed (m/min, optional)

A common rule of thumb: holes and details no smaller than the sheet thickness.
