Why these are free

They run on your own computer: no server, no cost to us, nothing uploaded. What costs exports is the part that runs on ours — drawing a design from a sentence, planning a product that fits together, or putting your product photo in a new scene.

Every file they make states its size in millimetres, so it opens at the size you set. Cut, score and engrave arrive as separate layers, in the colours 18 machine profiles and 8 materials are set up for.

Need the design itself?

Describe it or drop a picture and get cut, score and engrave layers at true size, or lay it out yourself on a sheet.
