Yes. wwsgen is free and open source . No account is needed for basic conversion. Logging in is optional and just adds saved history and a file vault.

Can I convert a .wws back to SVG?

Yes. Drop a .wws file into wwsgen to view it in the browser or convert it to SVG . This makes the otherwise closed, no-export MakeIt! format portable again.

How do cut, line, and engrave get assigned, and will the size be right?

Operations come from your design's colors: a red stroke (#E61F19) = cut , other strokes = line/engrave, and fills = fill-engrave. For sizing, 1 SVG user unit is treated as roughly 1 mm unless your SVG specifies real units, which is a known gotcha. Because of this, always check the dimensions in MakeIt! before cutting.

Operations are assigned by colour in your file: red stroke #E61F19 → cut, any fill → engrave, any other stroke → line (score). Each gets its own power/speed/passes above.

Isolate engraving on its own sheet(s) — keeps cut-only sheets clean. Auto-rotate engraved parts flat, for faster raster engraving.

How it works

A real reverse-engineered pipeline — not a re-skin.

①

Parse the vector

Every <path>, <rect>, <circle>, <polygon> and group transform is read and flattened to absolute millimetre coordinates. Each closed outline becomes a piece; loops inside it become holes.

②

Nest onto your sheet

Pieces are raster-nested with free rotation and real-polygon collision, kept your chosen spacing apart. Parts that don't fit spill onto extra sheets — each becomes its own MakeIt! canvas.

③

Emit a real .wws

Output is the genuine MakeIt! v3.0.4 JSON/Fabric.js envelope with exact vector geometry and a red #E61F19 cut layer — confirmed to open in MakeIt!.

Supported machines

Pick a model to bound the work area — or choose Custom for any laser.

✎

Prep your SVG

Use closed outlines. Every closed path becomes one cut piece; open paths may not cut as you expect.
Expand strokes to outlines. Only vector geometry is read — convert a stroked line into a filled outline first.
Work in millimetres. With a physical width/height + viewBox, sizes import 1:1; otherwise 1 user unit = 1 mm. Use the Scale option to correct.
Holes nest automatically. A loop inside another becomes a hole and stays attached; a separate shape inside a hole becomes its own piece.
Drop text & images. <text>, <image> and <use> are ignored — convert text to paths first.
Fit the sheet. A single part larger than the material is an error — raise the material size.

After you download

Open in MakeIt!. Drag the .wws into WeCreat MakeIt! (or File → Open).
Check the size. Verify the dimensions against your material before anything else.
Set power & speed. In MakeIt!'s process panel, choose settings for your material and thickness — the red #E61F19 layer is the cut.
Place & cut. The layout is anchored top-left; position it on the bed and run the job.

FAQ

What is a .wws file?

It's WeCreat MakeIt!'s project format. WeCreat markets it as closed and no-export, but under the hood it's plain JSON built on Fabric.js — so it can be generated programmatically. wwsgen writes the same v3.0.4 envelope MakeIt! produces.

Will the file open in MakeIt!?

The generator is verified to produce MakeIt!-openable files (a known-good 100×100 mm cut square round-trips correctly). The SVG→nest converter is structurally validated; as with any reverse-engineered format, always open the result in MakeIt! and check dimensions before cutting.

What files can I upload?

SVG, PDF, Adobe Illustrator (.ai), and DXF are read natively — vector geometry in, cut-ready .wws out. Operations follow colour: a red stroke (#E61F19) cuts, any fill engraves, any other stroke becomes a line (score). Images (PNG/JPG/GIF/BMP/WebP) are embedded as a fill-engrave by default, or can be traced into cut outlines (experimental, best for high-contrast art) via the Image-mode option.

How are multiple pieces handled?

Each closed outline in your SVG is placed independently and nested to save material. A shape fully inside another (like a ring) is treated as a hole. If everything can't fit on one sheet, extra sheets are added automatically as additional canvases.

Is my design uploaded or stored?

No. Your file is converted in a temporary working directory and deleted immediately after the .wws is returned. Nothing is logged or retained.

Is this affiliated with WeCreat?

No. wwsgen is an independent, unofficial project. The .wws format details are reverse-engineered and may change between MakeIt! versions.
