GENERATOR
Most “AI SVG” tools generate a raster image and put an SVG wrapper around it. This one calls a vector model: the output is closed, filled paths with a small palette, so Design Space and LightBurn read it as geometry. It is built for cut files — and it has real limits worth knowing before you spend a credit.

THE TOOL, WITHOUT GUESSWORK
| Engine | Ideogram Vector 1.0 (text and image reference) |
|---|---|
| Output | SVG closed paths · DXF · PNG |
| Layer grouping | not provided by the engine; fills are counted, not grouped |
| Cost | 100 credits text · 60 credits with an image reference |
| Typical time | 15–30 seconds |
| Failed runs | credit returned automatically |
Numbers above describe this implementation, not a generic promise. If a limit here disagrees with the tool, the tool is the bug — report it to [email protected].
An SVG file can contain anything, including a single <image> tag pointing at a PNG. That file is an SVG by extension and a picture by nature — a cutter cannot follow it.
Real vector output contains path elements with coordinates. This site checks the response from the engine, strips any full-canvas background rectangle, and reports the actual path and fill counts so you can see the geometry before you download.
Logos, badges and emblems with a clear silhouette
Icons and single-object illustrations
Flat characters built from a few solid shapes
Ornamental marks: monograms, mandalas, crests
Single-colour line art with even stroke weight
The common thread is flat fills and an obvious outline. That is also what cuts well, which is why this pairing works.
Gradients and glows. The engine may return them; they are flattened to solid stops here because a gradient cannot be cut.
Realistic subjects: faces, hands, animals in motion, anything photographic.
Long strings of text, and small type inside a composition.
Anything that depends on exact proportions, such as a technical diagram or a map.
For a photograph you want as a cut file, no generator will do it well: the image has no flat regions to begin with. Reduce the subject to its silhouette first.
A prompt that produces a good poster produces a bad cut file. Write for the blade:
Subject, then style, then outline: “geometric fox head, minimal, thick even outline”
State the colour count: “one colour” or “three flat colours, no gradients”
Ask for negative space, not shading: “separate shapes, no fine texture”
Skip text unless it is two or three words, and quote the words exactly
If the preview comes back with hundreds of paths, the prompt was too detailed. Regenerate simpler rather than cleaning up afterwards.
You receive the SVG file, a DXF at whatever width in millimetres you set, and a PNG for mock-ups. The preview shows the colour count, path count and file size before download.
Text runs cost 100 credits; runs that use an uploaded reference image cost 60. At the Starter pack of 1,000 credits for US$9.90 that is US$0.99 and US$0.59 per run. Credits do not expire and failed runs are refunded to the balance.
Tracing reproduces geometry you already have; generating invents geometry you describe. If a clean logo exists, trace it — it is free and exact. If all you have is a rough sketch or a photograph, generate: a description produces cleaner lines than a trace of a noisy source.
Both outputs land in the same formats here, so the decision is about the source, not the destination.
