What it does

Photos that engrave well

Pick a photo and BurnBadger lifts the subject off the background, then turns it into dots or shading made for your laser.

Text in any font

Names, dates, quotes. Several lines, any font on your device. Weld script letters into one outline to cut them out.

Draw it yourself

Sketch with your finger or Apple Pencil and burn exactly what you drew.

Know your material first

The BurnBadger test card and the power × speed grid show what a new material does before you waste a good piece.

Frame before you burn

Trace the outline on the wood, check where it lands, then burn. Pause and resume any time.

Wi-Fi without dropouts

Wi-Fi jobs go to the laser’s own SD card, so the burn keeps going even if your phone sleeps or loses Wi-Fi.
