How it works

From image to file in three steps

1

Create a free account

Enter your name, email and mobile number, then confirm with a texted code. Starter coins are added to your account.

2

Drop in an image

Use a badge, logo, photo or drawing. Shaping, tracing and the preview all run in your browser, so you can adjust settings as much as you like.

3

Download and cut

Export an STL, SVG, DXF or PNG at the size you set. Each download uses a few Hooyah Coins.

Pricing

Free to use. Pay only for the files you keep.

Your account is free and comes with starter coins. Previewing and adjusting cost nothing. Downloads and AI redraws use Hooyah Coins, which you can buy in the Hooyah Woodworks shop.

Built by the maker

Made in a one-man shop in Screven, Georgia

Hooyah Woodworks is a one-man shop run by Jason, a disabled U.S. Navy veteran and former sheriff's deputy. He carves shadow boxes, closing boards and custom pieces from American hardwoods. He built these tools for his own production work, and every setting in them comes from real jobs.

FAQ

Common questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The account is free and includes starter coins. You can shape, trace and preview as much as you want. You only spend coins when you download a file or run an AI redraw.

Do my images get uploaded?

Carve Studio and tracing run entirely in your browser, so your images stay on your device. The image only leaves your device if you choose AI redraw. In that case it is sent to our AI image provider to make the redraw.

Which programs open the files?

STL reliefs import directly into Vectric Aspire, Carveco and Fusion, and Carve Studio can copy the Aspire import values for you. SVG and DXF files open in VCarve, LightBurn, Carbide Create, Inkscape and Cricut Design Space.

Why do you need my phone number?

A texted code confirms each account is a real person, which keeps the free tools free. Text and email updates are optional, and we never sell your details.

Can I sell what I make with these files?

Yes. The files you make can be used in your own projects and products. You can't resell the tools themselves or bulk-generate files to redistribute. See the Terms of Service.

Can I install it like an app?

Yes. On a phone, open the tools in your browser and choose Add to Home Screen (Safari) or Install app (Chrome). It opens full screen like any other app.
