FilePrepKit, a browser-side repair bench for design files
A free toolkit for checking, fixing, resizing, converting, and preparing SVGs, images, Cricut files, laser-cutting assets, and digital products.
- For
- Designers, Cricut users, laser engravers, and digital sellers
- Worth noticing
- The site specifically targets open paths that can ruin a laser cut and says files remain on the user's device.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the product around a five-stage file workflow rather than presenting a generic converter. Its examples are unusually concrete: checking SVGs for hidden or empty objects, preparing photos through dithering for laser engraving, and protecting Etsy-style product previews with watermarks. The SVG Checker is marked available now, while recoloring, batch resizing, laser-photo preparation, and watermarking remain beta or in progress. The site states that processing happens locally in the browser.
