Vextrify Laser Control: the workspace with tools, layers and laser settings, ready for the first design

Real jobs. One window.

Diode, CO2 and fiber lasers side by side. Switch between dark and light above the picture.

One window, every tool.

Tools on the left, layers and laser settings on the right, every laser in its own tab at the top. Camera, queue and material library are one click away.

  • Day or night. Dark and light appearance, switch it above the picture.

Then the camera shows the bed.

A photo for twenty coasters. Detect workpieces finds every blank, the photo goes into one, and one click fills all twenty.

  • Cut what you see. An outline around each piece, or a holder that fits them exactly.

Every tool opens to its full depth.

Align, distribute and nest, check paths, clean them up, remove duplicates. Weld, subtract, intersect, trim, warp and text along a path sit right next to it.

  • Exact numbers. Position, size and rotation to the hundredth of a millimetre.
  • Arrays and variables. Linked copies, serial numbers and names from a CSV list.

Settings that stay tidy.

Speed, power, passes, interval and DPI per layer, image options with both directions, dot width correction and overscan. Each group stays folded until you open it.

  • Material library. Whole layer settings per material, plus a material test grid.
  • Fiber galvo. Frequency per layer, wobble, cylinder and lens correction.

Every laser in its own tab.

Diode and CO2 side by side, each with its own profile, camera, queue and job. Add a laser in a few steps or bring it over from LightBurn.

  • GRBL, Ruida, EZCAD and more. Over USB or network.

The time before the first burn.

The job time is known before any material is spent. Frame it, run it, pause or stop at any moment, and start again from any point.

  • Queue. Line up jobs and repeat them.

Five programs for one engraving. Or one.

A photo tool, a vector tool, a box generator and the laser software, each with its own export. In Vextrify every step works on the same project, right up to the running machine. The core runs on the workshop PC, not in the cloud.

Most diode lasers run GRBL. Most CO2 lasers run Ruida. Most fiber markers run EZCAD. Vextrify runs all of them.

Plus the controllers behind Snapmaker, xTool, the K40 and more. Connect over USB or network, import your device from LightBurn, or add your laser in a few steps.

Will it run my laser?

Type your brand, model or controller.

Type to check. Diode, CO2 and fiber galvo controllers are all covered.

Photos that burn the way they look.

Drag the line in the picture. Left the photo, right what goes to the laser.

Pick the material and the laser.

Birch, slate, leather, glass, acrylic, anodized aluminium, steel and more, for CO2, fiber or diode. The Smart Engine sets tone and dot structure for that pair.

  • White stays white. No stray dots in white areas, measured over 168 material and target combinations.

Compare before you burn.

Drag the line in the picture: left the photo, right what goes to the laser. Zoom to the real dots, hold Space for the original.

  • Live numbers. Size, DPI and dot coverage for every change.

Effects on your own photo.

Soft photo, Balanced, Micro detail, Deep black, Hard marking and Vector graphic, each previewed on the image you loaded.

  • Fine-tuning. Brightness, contrast, shadows, highlights and detail, with the effect still applied.

64 controls in 10 groups.

When you want everything: light and contrast, details and sharpness, noise and areas, tone levels, dot pattern, face and background, size and resolution, laser values and export.

  • Searchable. Type “gamma” and the control is there. Show only what you changed.
  • Still tidy. Every group stays closed until you open it.

Keep the look.

Save it as a recipe with reference images and use it on the next order.

  • Batch. One recipe, many photos, one export.
  • More image tools. Line drawing, background removal, enhance for weak photos.

Build the product, not just the engraving.

Enter the dimensions. Product Studio builds the parts, joins them, checks them and hands them to the laser.

From three numbers to a product.

Width, depth, height, material and sheet thickness. Start from a template or build freely.

  • Edit freely. Turn every part into a plate you move, resize and cut.

Every dimension in one place.

Sliders and exact values for size, joints, parts and the final check.

  • Your design on it. Engrave Artboard artwork onto any face, such as the lid.

Joints made for you.

Corner, tenon, cross or glue, chosen per pair of parts and changeable. See it in 3D and as an exploded view.

  • Tools for building. Add, split, cut and arrange parts right in the 3D view.

Cut parts, laid out.

Every part flat on the sheet with spacing, named and measured, ready for the laser at real size.

  • Exports. SVG, DXF, EZCAD and LightBurn files with the right layers.

Checked before you cut.

Nothing floating, nothing intersecting, every outline cuttable, outer dimensions matching, every tab fitting its slot.

  • 3D Relief. Depth maps and 3D models into reliefs, checked in 3D.

Your shop engraves along.

An order comes in, the photo is prepared with your material and recipe, and a laser-ready file is waiting. Through a real API with webhooks, not a plug-in for one shop system.

Why Vextrify instead of LightBurn?

Because it is not either-or, it is far more. LightBurn runs the machine — so does Vextrify, camera-aligned, with a dry run, for diode and CO2. On top of that comes everything you otherwise buy a second and third program for: image preparation with material profiles, ten dot patterns and greyscale, 3D reliefs, vectorizing, contours, workpiece masks, QR, batch processing, and an API for your own workflows. One program, one project, one price.

Do I still need a separate image-prep service?

No. That is what Photo Studio is built for: pick the material, pick the goal, check the result at engraving size. White areas of your source stay untouched — measured across 168 material and goal combinations, zero burned dots, where previously 3.5 to 14 percent of the area burned along.

What do I pay for the same thing today?

Image preparation and machine control bought separately come to around 329 € in the first year — and you end up with two programs that know nothing about each other. Studio Pro is 12.50 € a month (150 € over the 12-month minimum term) and includes both, plus relief, vector, contour, QR, batch and the API.

Can I really run my laser with it?

Yes, from the desktop app: diode over GRBL, CO2 over Ruida. Camera alignment on the real workpiece, framing and a dry run before anything burns, live job control with start, pause, resume and stop. Several machines can be managed, each with its own profile, calibration and job; one is actively connected at a time.

Can I wire Vextrify into my own workflow?

Yes. POST /v1/prepare takes an image from your shop or order system and returns the laser-ready file; webhooks report job.completed and job.failed to your endpoint. If you would rather not write code, hang it off Zapier, Make or n8n.

What happens when the internet goes down?

You keep working. Preparation, alignment and engraving run locally on the workshop PC, and customer photos are not uploaded for it. Only licence checks and updates need a connection.

I already own LightBurn. Was that wasted?

No. You can use Vextrify for the image side alone and export clean files for LightBurn, EZCAD and Ruida controllers. If you later want to drive the machine directly, it is already there.

Is it worth it if I mostly cut?

Yes. There is a one-time licence: Lifetime Pro at 249 € — the same ballpark as LightBurn on its own, except image preparation, 3D relief, vectorizing, contours, QR, workpiece masks, batch processing and the API are already in it. You pay barely more and have everything ready the day a customer does bring a photo. Studio Online and updates are included for 12 months.
