Or draw here with a mouse, a finger or a pen

Batch
Every file is traced on its own at its own resolution, with the settings in the panel. A file converted here comes out identical to the same file converted by itself.

Trace settings
Full-colour trace for print and web.
For photographs. Untick to trace the photo into editable vector shapes instead. Logos, drawings and clip art are always traced.
Fine-tune
Raise it to clear dust, grain and stray dots; 0 keeps every mark.
Untick for pixel art: the outline then follows every pixel edge.
With Remove background: how close a colour must be to the background to go with it.
Machine output
Height follows the source aspect ratio.
Laser and Router follow the traced outlines. Engrave photo burns the picture itself, line by line, for photos and portraits.
Heat transfer vinyl is pressed face down, so it has to be cut mirrored. The second box is the overcut in millimetres: a drag knife starts each shape pointing the wrong way, and running past the start covers that stretch properly so the piece weeds out clean.
Beam or bit width. Left at zero the tool runs down the centre of the line, so a part finishes one tool width undersize. Set it and the path is offset by half, with holes offset the opposite way.
Holes before the part that holds them, so nothing comes loose while there is still cutting to do. Also shortens the travel between cuts.

Sketch to PDF converter: free and online
Convert sketch to PDF in your browser: drop in a Sketch file and download the PDF. The file is converted on your own device and never uploaded, so this sketch to pdf converter is safe for private and confidential files.
PDF is the document format that looks the same everywhere, and can hold vector shapes as well as text and pictures.
The picture is traced into real vector paths - curves and corners, not a bitmap wrapped in a vector file - so it scales to any size and cuts cleanly on a Cricut, a Silhouette or a laser.

Why it matters
Preset for the job
The colour count, detail and smoothing arrive tuned for this kind of artwork rather than left at a generic default.
Every format from one trace
The same geometry produces the vector, the machine file and the print file. No re-uploading between tools.
See it before you download it
Each format renders in the preview panel, including the machine formats parsed back from the file itself.
Free, local, no signup
The conversion runs in your browser, so there is no upload and no queue.
Questions
How do I convert Sketch to PDF?
Drop your Sketch file on this page, check the preview, and press Download. The PDF is made in a few seconds, with no sign-up.
Is my Sketch file uploaded anywhere?
No. The sketch to pdf conversion runs in your browser, on your own device. The file never leaves it.
Do I need an account?
No. In-browser conversion is free and unlimited with no signup. Free picture downloads carry a watermark; the paid plan removes it and unlocks the machine formats, which are never watermarked.
What if the result is not good enough?
Some artwork genuinely needs a person rather than an engine. Adjust detail and colour count first; if it still will not come out, the source is usually the limit.
Can I use the output commercially?
Yes. It is your artwork, and we make no claim on what you convert.
