Your complete maker toolkit

More than a file

Plan your production, present your products, manage your orders, and grow as a maker.

Make with confidence

Find a project to make

Answer a few questions or describe your idea. “Make me something” suggests a template; AI can choose a studio and fill in words, sizes and layers.

Make it yours

Move and resize text and artwork, choose from 4,500+ designs, and inspect supported projects in 3D or an exploded view.

Your machines & materials

Save machine profiles, material sizes, costs and tested recipes to your account, then use them across devices and studios.

Saved projects & favorites

Keep projects in your account and reopen them later. Save favorite studios and rearrange them for quick access; project files can also be downloaded and reopened.

A whole list at once

Paste names or a CSV to create personalised sets, or repeat copies in a grid for one production run.

Plan a production run

Estimate sheets, laser time, cost and selling price. See the layout, compare profit, and save a job to run again.

Preview the laser path

Watch the laser simulator before you make the job, alongside estimated run time and separate cut, score and engrave operations.

Put offcuts back to work

Save useful leftovers with their measurements. Import & Nest can fit parts onto them, and exports can show when a job fits a saved offcut.

UV printing & raised texture

Export colour PNGs with a white-ink layer for supported UV printers. Use Depth Map for raised texture and Stained Glass for colourful print work.

Job sheets & tidy exports

Keep a job sheet with your project and export machine-ready files by sheet, layer or operation, or together in a ZIP.

Show it, sell it, share it

Product photos in one click

Show your design in wood, acrylic or slate, with ready-made mockup scenes for your shop and social posts.

Questions

Do I need design skills or software?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Pick a generator, adjust a few sliders and download. Each generator has a short built-in guide.

Will the files work with my laser?

Yes. Files are standard SVG, DXF, PDF, PNG and G-code in real millimetres, with presets for xTool, LightBurn, Glowforge and GRBL. Crystal lasers get DXF, PLY, XYZ or STL.

What can I do for free?

You can use every generator once and see full-quality previews. When you’re ready to download, buy a single export for $1 or pick a plan.

Can I sell what I make?

Yes. Products you make with your exports are yours to sell, so you can take custom orders with confidence.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Photo, sketch, crystal, shadow box and handwriting processing, including the AI steps, runs on your own computer inside the browser. Only if you press Share do we store the product picture you chose to share, and you can delete it any time from your account.

How do the free exports for sharing work?

When you’re signed in, the first design you share each week adds one free export to your account. Share as often as you like; the bonus is once a week.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. You can manage or cancel your plan from your account in one click. Unused top-up exports never expire.

Ready to make something today?

Pick one of 57 generators, customise it in minutes, and send a machine-ready file straight to your laser, with product photos ready to post.
