JigsawDesigner 1.6.0 · iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Turn a closed outline into editable puzzle cutlines

Draw or import a vector boundary, choose a slot profile, generate the internal pattern, then refine the SVG before it leaves your project.

Cutline anatomy

A cutline file is geometry, not a machine preset

The outer boundary defines the puzzle silhouette. Internal cutlines divide it into pieces, while a slot profile shapes the connections along those lines. JigsawDesigner keeps this geometry as editable SVG paths and groups. Material, kerf, power, speed, and other production settings still belong in the downstream software used with your equipment.

Inspect the exported file at its intended scale before using material.

The real workflow

From source geometry to an SVG you can keep editing

Generation is one step inside the project—not the end of the design process.

Import or draw the source geometry

Bring in an SVG or draw a closed contour with vector tools. Check its scale, groups, and visible geometry on the canvas before generation.

Generate inside the chosen boundary

Choose a built-in or custom slot profile, set grid and distance values, and generate. Review the result instead of treating the first output as final.

Refine the paths, then export SVG

Use selection handles, Layers, Point Edit, grouping, and Inspector values to make the document ready for the next tool in your workflow.

Irregular boundary to editable cutlines

Objective: Fill a closed, hand-shaped outline with a puzzle pattern while preserving its outer contour.
Template: A custom concave slot profile selected from the Templates panel
Next edit: Select the generated group, inspect its bounds, and switch to point editing for local boundary adjustments.

Detailed silhouette with internal openings

Objective: Generate a pattern across a complex dragon outline while retaining the smaller shapes inside it.
Template: A custom slot profile shown as selected in the Templates panel
Next edit: Inspect narrow areas and internal openings, then adjust individual paths where the downstream workflow requires more clearance.

Imported SVG to an organized project

Objective: Open a layered SVG, verify that its visible composition arrived, and retain it alongside other editable projects.
Template: Not used—this example documents SVG import and project organization
Next edit: Inspect the imported groups and scale before choosing or drawing a closed boundary for generation.

After export

Treat fabrication as a separate validation stage

JigsawDesigner hands off SVG geometry. Your cutting software and equipment remain responsible for operations, material settings, and safety.

01
Export SVG
Keep the editable project and export the geometry needed downstream.
02
Inspect the handoff
Confirm units, scale, duplicate paths, stroke interpretation, and intended operations.
03
Run a material test
Use a small test and the equipment vendor’s guidance before committing a full sheet.
04
Make and document
Record the final material and machine settings outside JigsawDesigner for repeatability.

Questions before you start

Can I use my own outline?

Yes. Draw a closed vector boundary or import suitable SVG geometry, then choose the boundary used for generation.

Can I edit the puzzle after generation?

Yes. The generated cutlines return to the document as editable SVG geometry.

Which format can I export?

JigsawDesigner currently exports SVG. SVG export is included with Premium.

Does the app choose laser settings?

No. Validate units, scale, material, kerf, operations, power, speed, and safety in the downstream workflow for your equipment.
