Add a photo of the drawing. It comes back as clean lines in the child's own shapes, as cut and engrave layers at the size you set.

Lay the drawing flat and photograph it square-on in daylight, without shadows; the paper, creases and colour are left out.

A drawing takes about 20 seconds and costs 1 export; Pro draws finer faces for 2 exports.

Type the width in millimetres, read the check, and take the SVG, LightBurn, DXF or PDF file.
Questions makers ask
What can I make with a child's drawing?
A child's drawing as clean lines for keepsakes, ornaments, cutting boards and gifts for grandparents, with the shapes and wobbles the child drew.
How do I cut and engrave a child's drawing?
Photograph the drawing flat, in daylight and without shadows. The drawing is redrawn, so compare it with the original before you burn. Engrave the lines, or turn the cut outline on to make it a shaped piece.
What files do I get?
Cut and engrave layers at the width you set: an SVG in millimetres (red cut, blue score, black engrave), a LightBurn .lbrn2 project, a DXF and a PDF. Before you download, the file is checked for parts that would fall out or hang on a thin join. The downloads are free once the drawing is made.
Can I use my own photo?
Yes, that is what the style is for. The photo goes to fal.ai, which runs the image model, and is kept with the drawing in your account until you delete the account (a guest's after 48 hours). You need the right to use the photo and, for a photo of a person, their permission.
What does it cost?
One drawing costs 1 export, or 2 exports with Pro. Without an account you can make 3 drawings to see the result; a free account adds 7 more and lets you download. A drawing that fails is refunded automatically. The files are yours to use, including on products you sell.
