Workshop suite

One stop between
artwork and the laser.

Image Adjust

Crop, set the final size and DPI, tune the image, and export an engraving-ready grayscale file while keeping the original untouched.

Depth Map

Import an STL and adjust its aspect in real time, with controls for a personally tuned grayscale depth map.

Upscale

Enlarge small raster artwork by 2× or 4× while preserving the look of the source.

Vector Trace

Zoom, inspect, and trace logos, handwriting, silhouettes, and line art into SVG, DXF, or vector PDF for use in LightBurn and other laser-control software.

Around the shop

Less prep work.
More time making.

DepthGraver handles the repetitive conversion steps that tend to interrupt a laser workflow.

Customer photo

Crop out distractions, set the finished size and DPI, then tune the tones before it reaches your engraving software.

Logo or signature

Turn a raster reference into an editable vector instead of redrawing it by hand.

Relief model

Convert an STL into a grayscale depth map without taking a detour through a full CAD or rendering package.

Small artwork

Upscale the source before final cleanup so you have more pixels to work with at engraving size.

Made to respect your work
