A workflow for live customers

The app keeps the flow simple while a customer is waiting: add a photo, adjust filters, generate, and download the finished PNG.

Clean black-and-white output

The generated result is processed into a clean PNG that is easier to inspect before bringing it into laser software.

Controls that matter

Operators can choose detail level, line weight, optional background removal, and a playful portrait age adjustment when the customer wants a younger-looking result.

Source photo tips

  • Keep the subject large enough that important features are visible after resizing.
  • Use background removal for pets, portraits, cars, and products photographed in busy environments.
  • Download the generated PNG and inspect it before committing to engraving.
  • Treat generated artwork as production input, not as a replacement for material testing.

Frequently asked questions

What file does EngraveReady export?

The app currently exports a PNG. SVG export is intentionally paused until vectorization produces reliable engraving strokes.

Can the app be used on mobile?

Does the app store customer images?

Uploaded source photos and prepared cutouts are private and expire after 7 days. Generated PNG artwork remains available in account history for 30 days.
