SVG Open Path Detector
Detect and list all open paths in an SVG file. Shows which paths are open, their endpoint coordinates, and how far apart the endpoints are.

Finding Open Paths in SVG Files
Open paths in SVG files are a frequent cause of incomplete cuts on laser machines. This detector goes beyond a simple pass/fail check — it lists every open path with its exact endpoint coordinates and the distance between them, helping you understand the severity of each issue and prioritise fixes.
Real-World Examples & Use Cases
Diagnostics
Diagnose why a laser cutter is not completing a cut by identifying the specific open path and its gap size.
