Local-first laser preparation
Measure first.
Cut with intent.
Inspect artwork, prove its physical size, calibrate real kerf, build a repeatable job, and continue in the offline KerfCanvas desktop app when a machine is involved.
One continuous workflow
From uncertain file to verified package
KerfCanvas keeps physical units, operation intent, measured profiles, warnings, and recipe evidence together—so every next step knows what the previous step changed.
Know the file
Resolve units, dimensions, layers, open paths, duplicate cuts, fonts, and unsupported features.
Know the material
Measure kerf, focus, interval, and fit for this machine, lens, material, and batch.
Build the job
Generate, engrave, nest, order, simulate, and preserve every decision in a reusable recipe.
Run locally
Export a portable package or review it in Desktop before any physical machine action.

The 20-tool launch catalog
Every launch route has a bounded local result, explicit assumptions, and downloadable evidence. The broader 200-tool roadmap advances only when the same release bar is met.
Laser file inspector
Inspect SVG dimensions, units, viewBox data, and common preparation risks before you edit or export.
Cut / score / engrave mapper
Turn colors and layers into explicit fabrication intent with a portable operation sheet.
Vector health check
Find open paths, duplicate lines, overlaps, self-intersections, stray objects, and off-bed geometry.
SVG cleanup and sanitization
Remove active and external content, editor debris, and unstable whitespace with an exact change report.
Kerf and fit calculator
Translate measured kerf and target clearance into tab, slot, and cut-path dimensions.
Tabs, bridges, and cut order
Generate an explicit inner-before-outer plan with visible holding-tab locations and a portable report.
Photo engraving studio
Crop, tone, sharpen, resample, dither, compare, and export a reproducible engraving recipe.
Dither and halftone lab
Compare common dithers and halftones at the intended physical line interval.
Outline and stencil repair
Screen text for common enclosed islands and generate a bridge-mask plan; complex tracing routes to Desktop.
Measured kerf and fit coupon
Generate a labeled measured-fit coupon and preserve the setup assumptions in a portable report.
Material test grid
Generate a labeled speed, power, and passes matrix without presenting universal safe settings.
Focus and interval tests
Generate focus-ramp and DPI/line-interval fixtures tied to a specific optics and material profile.
Finger-joint box studio
Create six kerf-aware finger-joint panels with visible dimensions and measured-fit assumptions.
Living hinge studio
Generate a hinge field and matching test strip with material-specific assumptions visible.
Sign and personalization studio
Create a local multi-name sign or tag batch with physical dimensions and explicit font-portability limits.
Deterministic sheet nesting
Place rectangular quantities onto sheets with rotation, spacing, utilization, and collision-free bounds.
Rotary planner
Calculate setup, preview the seam and usable circumference, and generate a calibration strip.
G-code simulator and preflight
Inspect supported GRBL-family output for bounds, units, origin assumptions, and laser-on motion.
Material safety checker
Record composition evidence and shop policy with explicit unknown and prohibited outcomes.
True cost and job manifest
Estimate material, time, labor, waste, setup, and margin, then export a reproducible job manifest.

A hard safety boundary
The website prepares. Desktop controls.
Browser tools never connect to, jog, frame, fire, start, pause, resume, or reset a laser. KerfCanvas Desktop repeats profile validation and preflight before supervised machine output.
