Description

PixGrav is a web-based toolkit for preparing images for laser engraving. It combines cropping, enhancement, background removal, image adjustment, perimeter creation, vectorization, dithering and line-art tools in one workflow. Designed for COâ‚‚ and fiber laser users, PixGrav helps turn photos and graphics into cleaner, engraving-ready artwork for LightBurn, RDWorks, EZCAD and other laser software.

Could you build this?

Partial While image cropping and adjustments are standard web operations, laser engraving prep requires specialized algorithms for dithering (Floyd-Steinberg, Atkinson), perimeter offsetting, and robust raster-to-vector tracing optimized for CNC/laser toolpaths.

What it would actually take: Requires WebAssembly or Canvas/WebGL pipelines executing specific image processing algorithms: advanced dithering algorithms calibrated for laser burn densities, centerline and outline vectorization (potrace/custom SVG paths), and toolpath generation. Needs domain knowledge of CO2/fiber laser pulse dynamics and material contrast profiles.
