Why we recommend LightBurn
LightBurn is the laser software we use and recommend, and we design our SVG files to drop straight into it.
Colours become layers
Cut, engrave, and score lines each come out in their own colour, and layered designs give every piece its own cut colour. LightBurn sorts imported shapes into layers by colour, so you set power and speed once per layer.
Try it before you buy
LightBurn comes with a 30-day free trial with no restrictions, so you can check that it runs your laser and cut your first MyLaserTools design before paying anything.
MyLaserTools is a LightBurn affiliate. If you buy LightBurn through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Design your next laser project
Most tools are free to use, with no signup required. Pick a tool, customize your design, and download an SVG for LightBurn.
Map Designer
Layered laser-cut maps, made simple
Turn city streets, lake and ocean depths, and terrain contours into layered maps. Presets set up the layers for you, so you can customize a place instead of drawing it from scratch.
Choose your place, adjust the layers, preview in 3D, and export SVGs for cutting and assembly.
A free account includes every public preset, saved projects, and 100 sparks to spend, 10 per map export. Options for more exports
