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.
Find the file you downloaded
Go to your Downloads folder. The file you downloaded will usually look like a compressed file.
Right click the file
Right click the downloaded file. On Windows 11, you may need to click Show more options to see the extraction options.
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.
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.
