New · Burn Twin ✨

See it under real light — before you burn

An engraving is a physical surface. Burn Twin shows the finished piece catching the light, and the exact dithered dots your laser will make — right here, in your browser.

3D relief

Flat photos in.
3D relief out.

The Depth Map Studio estimates relief from a single photo's tones (an on-device estimator, not a neural depth model yet) and gives you the controls that matter at the laser:

  • Gamma, contrast and near/far clip - adjust the relief live
  • 3D preview before you burn a single pass
  • Grayscale output drops straight into LightBurn 3D mode
  • True single-photo AI depth model - planned for the cloud HQ plan

Questions

Before you ask on the forum.

Does it work with my laser?

Yes. EngraveBot outputs standard PNG and SVG files that every laser program reads - LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, LaserGRBL and others. Pro adds native .lbrn2 projects with speed and power pre-filled for your material.

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

The free tools run entirely in your browser - your image stays on your device. Only optional HQ cloud processing uploads the file, and it is deleted automatically when the job finishes.

Which materials are supported?

Built-in presets cover wood, plywood, slate, cast acrylic, anodized aluminum, glass and leather. Each preset sets gamma, contrast, the right dithering algorithm and DPI - and auto-inverts for materials that engrave light-on-dark, like slate and anodized aluminum.

Can I sell what I make with it?

Yes - every file you create is yours, for personal or commercial use. Because files are made from your own photos and ideas, they hold up as original work under marketplace originality rules.
