    An xTool Creative Space project (.xcs), an xTool Studio project (.xs), a LightBurn project (.lbrn2 or .lbrn) or an SVG drawing.

    Options

    Automatic: .xcs becomes LightBurn + SVG; LightBurn becomes .xcs, SVG and DXF; SVG becomes .xcs and LightBurn.

    More options

    Only used when an .xcs file is created. “Keep” uses the machine saved in an xTool file, otherwise a D1 Pro.

    Hidden xTool layers and objects are kept as layers that are switched off (not output).

    Lists every layer with its settings below the drawing, on its own layer. Delete it before cutting.

    Your files are deleted after processing.

    LightBurn can export DXF, but only when you have LightBurn. Upload the .lbrn2 (or older .lbrn) project here and get a DXF drawing for CAD, CNC routers, vinyl cutters or another laser program.

    How to convert LBRN2 to DXF

    1. Upload the .lbrn2 or .lbrn file. Projects from LightBurn 0.8 up to 2.1 are read.
    2. Download the .dxf file and open or import it.

    What the DXF contains

    • Millimetres, AutoCAD 2000 format (the version every CAD and laser program reads).
    • One DXF layer per LightBurn layer, named after it, in the nearest matching colour, so you can still tell cut lines from engraving.
    • Shapes at their exact place and size: paths, rectangles, ellipses and groups, with rotations and mirroring applied. Curves are written as fine polylines that stay within 0.01 mm of the original curve.
    • Text as the outline LightBurn saved with it. Text saved without an outline is written as DXF text and needs the font on the computer that opens it.

    Engraving pictures are left out, because DXF drawings hold lines only. The result says when this happens; choose Layered SVG under Convert to to keep them.

    Power and speed

    DXF has no place for laser settings. The result page lists every layer with its power, speed and passes, so you can set them up again in the other program.

    Privacy

    The upload is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes; the converted files are deleted after 30 minutes, or straight away with "Delete now".
