LightBurn

LightBurn provides an integrated environment for creating, editing, and sending jobs to laser cutters. Users can import common vector and raster formats, arrange and modify graphics, and generate toolpaths with adjustable parameters such as power, speed, passes, cut order, brightness, contrast, and dithering mode. The software includes a native editor that supports creating new vector shapes directly within the application.

It communicates directly with a wide range of laser controllers—including Ruida, Trocen, TopWisdom, G‑code based systems, and EZCad‑based galvo fiber, CO₂, and UV lasers—eliminating the need for separate host programs. Compatibility is offered for both Windows and macOS, and a free 30‑day trial is available before purchase.

The product is positioned as a stable, all‑in‑one CAD/CAM solution for personal and professional laser cutting and engraving workflows, with optional annual maintenance for updates while the core license remains perpetual.
