How PNG to DXF Conversion Works

1

Upload PNG Image

Upload your PNG image file. Supports transparent backgrounds and high-resolution images.

2

Process Alpha Channel

PNG transparency is analyzed and used to create clean edge boundaries for vectorization.

3

Vector Tracing

Advanced algorithms trace edges and shapes, converting them to precise vector paths.

4

Export DXF

Vector data is saved as DXF file ready for import into AutoCAD and other CAD programs.
