Cut contour line generator — die-cut outline from a logo

Draws a single outline around a logo's silhouette: the die-cut or kiss-cut path a vinyl cutter needs. Runs in your browser.

Draws a single outline around a logo's silhouette — a die-cut / kiss-cut contour line, not a full colour trace. Everything happens in this tab.
The logo is traced at this size then scaled back up, so a low setting magnifies every rough edge. Higher is cleaner but uses more memory and time — 4000px+ on a large file may take several seconds and briefly freeze the page while it works.

A cut line is not a trace

Vectorizing a logo gives you every colour as its own shape. A cut contour is one closed path around the outside — what a vinyl cutter's blade follows. They are different jobs, and this tool does the second one.

Offset, and why you want some

A contour sitting exactly on the artwork edge leaves no margin for blade drift, and a sticker cut that way shows a sliver of backing along one side. A small outward offset gives the cut somewhere to be wrong.

Holes and enclosed areas

A letter like an O has an inside edge. Whether the cutter should go round it depends on the job — a sticker usually should not, a stencil must. Pick the hole colours and decide deliberately rather than by default.

Smoothing

Traced paths follow the pixel grid, which puts hundreds of tiny nodes on what should be a smooth curve. Simplification removes them. Too little and the cutter stutters; too much and the corners go round.

This is one tool out of a full print operations platform — job board, digital proofing your customer signs off from their phone, quoting, invoicing and client reporting.
