Fix

Fix what's broken, automatically

Once you know what's wrong with a file, the next instinct is usually to open it in Illustrator or Inkscape and fix it by hand — hunting for the one broken anchor point in a design with hundreds of them. On a simple file, that's a five-minute annoyance. On a detailed one, it can eat an entire evening, and there's no guarantee you'll actually find everything.

The tools in this section handle the repetitive, mechanical part of that process automatically: closing small gaps in open paths, stripping out invisible clutter left behind by design software, simplifying overly complex contours. None of this changes how your design looks — it changes whether the underlying file structure actually matches what you see on screen.

A reasonable workflow: run a check first (see the Check section) to know exactly what's wrong, then come here to fix it automatically where possible. For anything a fixer can't handle safely on its own — usually more unusual or highly complex geometry — you'll get a clear note about what still needs a manual look, so you're not searching blindly.

Why this matters beyond convenience: a file that cuts or engraves incorrectly doesn't just waste time — it wastes physical material, and sometimes an entire finished piece you were counting on. A minute spent fixing a file structurally is consistently cheaper than a failed cut discovered after the fact.
