Whether it's a cherished family portrait, a beloved pet, or a scenic landscape, the AI intelligently sharpens key features and creates depth. This ensures that the final engraved product isn't flat or washed out, but a rich, textured piece of art.

Different materials react differently to laser engraving. Our tool allows you to specify the target material in your prompt, whether it's wood, acrylic, metal, or leather. The AI then adjusts the image to suit the properties of that material, ensuring the best possible outcome. For example, it can create higher contrast for dark woods or finer dithering for smooth metals. This tailored approach removes the guesswork and material testing, giving you the confidence that your design will look great no matter the surface you choose.
