    An .ezd project saved by EZCAD2 or an .ez3 project saved by EZCAD3.

    Options

    All three formats come from the same conversion; pick one if you only need that file.

    Hatching

    Fill settings keep shapes editable: LightBurn recalculates the hatch from EZCAD's spacing and angle. Exact lines are the hatch lines EZCAD saved, as vectors.

    More options

    LightBurn puts 0,0 at a corner of a galvo field; EZCAD puts it at the centre. The first choice keeps each object at the same place in the field.

    The width of your lens field, as set in LightBurn's device settings (for example 110 for a 110 × 110 mm lens).

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

    Your files are deleted after processing.

    An .ezd file is a project saved by EZCAD2, the marking software that comes with many fiber and other galvo lasers. Without EZCAD, and without the PC it is installed on, there is normally no way to look inside one. Upload it here to see the drawing and its settings and to get it in formats other programs open.

    What you see after uploading

    • The drawing, rendered from the file's own geometry, next to the small preview picture EZCAD stored when the project was saved, so you can compare the two.
    • The pens in use with their colour, power, marking speed, pulse frequency, pulse width, number of passes and hatch spacing, angle and direction: the settings you need to recreate the job on another machine.
    • What the project holds: how many curves, rectangles, texts (barcodes and QR codes included), hatches and pictures, how many pens, and the size of the design in millimetres.
    • Warnings about anything that could not be carried over, such as wait or input/output commands, which control the machine and have no drawing.

    Good to know

    • Text, barcodes and QR codes arrive as outlines, exactly as EZCAD drew them, so the fonts do not need to be installed. They can't be edited as text any more.
    • EZCAD3 projects (.ez3) open the same way: upload them here too.
    • Nothing is changed in your file; it is only read. The upload is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes and the results are deleted after 30 minutes.
