👋 Welcome to Laserworks — we're glad you're here!
The town/city is an approximate IP-based lookup using ipapi.co, with ipwho.is as a fallback. It can be inaccurate, especially with a VPN. No GPS permission is requested, and no account details, project data or photographs are sent. Only the town/city and region are cached in this browser tab for up to 30 minutes; if the lookup is blocked or unavailable, the general greeting remains.

Uploaded a family photo at lunchtime, had a clean dither burning on walnut by the afternoon. The material presets alone are worth it.
I've tried every depth-map trick on YouTube. This does in one click what took me a week of fiddling — and the detail holds up at 300 mm/min.
The style transformer turned my engraving side-hustle into a full-time thing. Customers keep asking which artist we use. It's the ink preset.
SVG export is genuinely clean — smooth paths, no jagged node soup. My vinyl cutter finally behaves.
We run three lasers and a router off Laserworks files every day. Batch export on the Maker plan paid for itself in the first week.
Background remover plus dither is my whole portrait pipeline now. Two clicks, done, sell.

Laserworks is an independent maker tool built in Oldham, England. It turns ordinary photos and ideas into files that laser engravers, CNC routers and 3D printers can actually use — dithered engravings, ink-style plates, height maps, layered SVGs and clean cut-outs — without needing Photoshop or a design degree.
Everything in the Studio runs in your browser. Your photos are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to our servers; the only thing we store is your account and credit balance.
Built for makers, by makers. If you build something with it, we'd genuinely love to see it.
Stuck, found a bug, or want a tool that doesn't exist yet? Send a message — replies usually within 48 hours.
Common fixes: if the Background Remover seems stuck on first use, it's downloading its AI model (~40 MB) — leave the tab open. Exports are blocked when you have 0 credits; sign in to see your balance.

Laserworks provides browser-based tools that convert images into machine-ready files. It is provided "as is"; we work hard to keep it running but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability.
You keep all rights to images you upload and files you export. You confirm you have the right to use any image you process. Outputs from the free Hobby plan are for personal use; paid plans include a commercial licence.
Exports consume credits. Free credits are a one-time allowance. Paid plans are not yet available; when they launch, pricing and renewal terms will be shown at checkout.
Don't use the service to create content that is illegal, infringes others' rights, or attempts to circumvent credit limits or protection measures.
Laser cutters and CNC machines are dangerous. Files exported from Laserworks are a starting point — always test on scrap material and follow your machine manufacturer's safety guidance. We are not liable for damage to materials, machines or persons.
We may update these terms; continued use after changes means you accept them.
