How To Open Your Downloaded Files

After you download a Graphiqly file, it usually comes as a compressed file. You need to extract it first. After that, you will see the design formats inside.

Download First, download the file from your account or order page.

Extract Right click the downloaded file and extract it.

Open Open the extracted folder and choose the format for your software.

Important: Do not try to use the compressed file directly in your laser software. Extract it first, then open the correct file format from the folder.

Find the file you downloaded

Go to your Downloads folder. The file you downloaded will usually look like a compressed file.

Simple meaning: The compressed file is like a box. You need to open the box first to see what is inside.

Choose an extract option

You may see a few extract options. Any of them can work, but the cleanest option is usually Extract to folder name. This creates a new folder and keeps everything organized.

Best choice: Use the option that says Extract to the product name folder. This keeps the files together in one clean folder.

Open the new folder

After extraction, you will see a new folder next to the compressed file. Open that folder. This is where your ready to engrave files are.

Choose the file format you need

Inside the folder, you will see different file formats. Each format is made for a different laser software.

LBRN2 / LightBurn Use this if you work with LightBurn.

XCS / xTool Studio Use this if you work with xTool Studio.

WWS / WeCreat Use this if you work with WeCreat software.

SVG Use this for most other laser software.

PNG / BMP Image files that can be used when your software needs an image format.

Readme / Suggested Settings Helpful notes and starting settings for your test engraving.

Important: Suggested settings are only a starting point. Your final settings can change depending on your laser, power, speed, material, lens, focus, and finish. Always run a small test first.
