Free maker tool

SVG Resizer

The problem is never scaling the file. It is scaling it so the piece that matters lands on the number you wanted.

Nothing is uploaded. It runs in your browser, so your files never leave your machine — and it stays free.

Part of the Maker Toolkit: fourteen tools that share one shop profile and one product list, so what you set up here is already known everywhere else.

Questions

SVG Resizer — common questions

How do I resize an SVG without distorting it?

Scale every element by one factor rather than dragging a bounding box. This tool asks which piece decides your finished size, usually the backer, and scales the whole file by the ratio that lands that piece on your number. Text, overlays and hardware pockets all move by the same factor, so nothing drifts out of register.

Why is my SVG the wrong size when I open it in my laser software?

Almost always because the file never declared a physical size, so the software falls back to a 96 dpi guess. A 6 in design authored at 72 dpi opens at 8 in. This tool stamps a real inch measurement onto the file so the next program has nothing to guess at.

Will it work with Glowforge, xTool, Cricut or Silhouette files?

Yes. Anything that reads or writes SVG. Exports keep the standard convention of RED cuts, BLUE scores and BLACK engraves, sized in real inches.

Does it upload my design anywhere?

No. It runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your machine. Once the page has loaded it works offline.
