Web Tools Menu
Use the Web Tools Menu to access LightBurn's built-in web tools and to add and manage your own custom web tools. These are all completely optional third-party services, and our built-in tools all have useful, relevant free options available, although they may have paid services as well.

Cuttle¶
You can use our built-in Cuttle integration to access Cuttle without leaving LightBurn, and to import your designs directly into the workspace in LightBurn.
My Laser Tools¶
You can use our built-in My Laser Tools integration to access My Laser Tools without leaving LightBurn, and to import your designs directly into the workspace in LightBurn.
User Tools¶
You can also add your own tools to the Web Tools and use them in much the same way as the built-in Web Tools. User Tools are only installed for your computer.
