Best Way to Vectorize an Image — Complete AI Workflow for Laser Engraving

If you’ve ever wondered the best way to vectorize an image for laser engraving, this video walks you through my full workflow using Google Gemini, ChatGPT, xTool Studio, and Imag-r.

I’ll show you how I take bad photos, screenshots, holiday ornaments, real estate photos, and even AI-generated designs, and turn them into clean, laser-ready vector files you can engrave with confidence.

You’ll see how I remove backgrounds, clean up messy edges, fix broken lines, add missing details, and use offsets in xTool Studio to turn any image into something that engraves beautifully on the xTool F1, S1, or F2 Ultra.

I cover multiple examples:

Bad photo from Facebook → clean vector
Holiday ornament design remake
German Christmas box patterns for tea lights
House photos for realtor gifts
How to fix stars, shapes, and broken paths
When AI doesn’t listen (and how to correct it!)
Why character faces won’t replicate exactly
Tips for engraving glass ornaments on the xTool F1

If you’re new to laser engraving or just want a faster, cleaner way to prepare files for your laser engraver, this video will help you nail your vector workflow.
