Makerfern: The Cut-Ready Image Converter
A browser-based converter turns PNG, JPG, and WEBP images into cut files for Cricut, Silhouette, laser machines, CNC work, and stencils.
- For
- Cricut, Silhouette, laser, and stencil makers
- Worth noticing
- Its sample comparison reports 88 traced pieces versus 7 after cleanup at the same three-inch size.
Field notes
The tool measures cleanup against the intended physical cut size rather than treating vector conversion as the final result. Its sample comparison distinguishes a generic trace from a Cricut preset, reporting fewer pieces and path nodes after cleanup. The homepage also exposes presets for Silhouette, laser/CNC, stencil, and print-then-cut workflows, alongside checks for small fragments, thin sections, and stencil bridges. Processing is presented as local to the browser, with no artwork upload.
