How to import your LightBurn files into Vextrify

Export your device from LightBurn as a device file or package, then import it in Vextrify's Add laser dialog. The work area, origin and controller type come with it, so the laser gets its own tab with the settings you already use. Check the work area and origin once before the first job, as you would with any new setup.

• Export the device in LightBurn
• Import the .lbdev or .lbzip in Vextrify
• Check work area and origin once

Your tested settings are the most valuable part. Import the LightBurn material library (.clb) and every entry becomes a material recipe that stores the whole layer setting, not just speed and power. Values are taken over as they are; Vextrify does not change or guess them.

• One .clb file, all entries
• Each entry stores the whole layer setting
• Values taken over unchanged

Open a LightBurn project (.lbrn2) like any other file. Shapes, polygons, layers and sub-layers, rotated and mirrored images, layer tabs, offset fills and the angle per pass come across. Where LightBurn left a value out, its own default is used, so the result matches what LightBurn would have run.

• Shapes, layers and sub-layers
• Images, tabs and offset fill
• LightBurn defaults where values are missing

Some things have no exact counterpart, for example text that was saved without its outline, rounded stars, QR codes and barcodes, 3D models, live arrays and distorted images. Vextrify lists each of these in a visible note after opening the file, in your language, so nothing disappears unnoticed. Recreate those parts in Vextrify's own tools, then save the project as a .vextrify file.

• Visible note for each item not carried over
• Recreate those parts with Vextrify's tools
• Save as a .vextrify project
