Organize laser files

Organize scattered laser files without moving them.

Add the folders, external drives and synced cloud folders you already use, and supported designs appear together in one visual library. Turn the folders you already sorted into categories, tag designs in your own words, clear out duplicate copies and find any design by what you remember. Your files stay where they are.

Real CutVault libraries range from thousands of files to more than 3 million See sizes ↓

Index Folders: every folder you added, with its file count and file types
Feature 01

Add every folder and drive, leave the files where they are.

Add the top folders you already use and CutVault brings the supported designs inside them into one library, including subfolders however deep they go. Add as many folders and drives as you use.

01Local folders and drives
02External, USB and SD storage
03Locally synced Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive folders
04New files saved there show up on their own

Your originals stay where they are. Adding a folder does not move, rename or upload your files.

CutVault / Build Categories from Folder StructureActual software
Build Categories from Folder Structure in CutVault: the step that lists every added folder with its file count, all ticked, with Deselect All, Cancel and Scan Selected.

Feature 02

Turn the folders you already sorted into categories.

Build from Folders turns the folder layout you already have into categories. Preview the structure and file totals before anything is created, and undo the most recent build if you change your mind. Nothing on your drive is moved or renamed.

StandoutYears of folder sorting, keptThe folders you already sorted become your starting categories, so organizing does not start from zero.

01Choose the folders you want to use
02See the proposed categories and file totals first
03Resolve conflicts before anything is created
04Undo the most recent build, or run it again later

CutVault / CategoriesActual software

A category with a subcategory, a cover and a file count
Feature 03

One design, in every category it fits.

Add a design to as many categories as it fits: a holiday, a product type, a customer. It shows up in each one, and there is still only one file on your drive. Nest categories as deep as you need and give each one a cover.

01One design in several categories
02Nested as deep as you need, with covers and file counts
03Move, merge and clear out empty categories, with undo
04Deleting a category never deletes a file

CutVault / Review SuggestionsActual software
Review Suggestions in CutVault: the sidebar with Tags and Review Suggestions, a list of suggested tags such as acrylic, baby, birthday, box and cake topper, each with a file count, and the designs listed for the selected tag, acrylic.
Review Suggestions: a file count on every suggested tag
Feature 04

Tags in your own words, across every folder.

Tag designs with the words you use in the shop: tumbler, keychain, cutting board, customer order. Review Suggestions lists suggested tags for the whole library with a file count beside each, and nothing is tagged until you approve it.

01Several tags on one design
02Approve suggestions one at a time or in batches
03Undo your latest batch
04Filter and search the library by tag

CutVault / DuplicatesActual software
Duplicates in CutVault: three groups of exact copies, a LightBurn project, an xTool project and an SVG, each copy shown with its folder, one copy marked Keep, and Keep First, Trash Others, Remove from CutVault and Delete from Disk on every group.
Every copy with its folder, and one marked Keep
Feature 05

Find identical copies and keep one.

Duplicates groups exact copies across your library, even when they have different names or sit in different folders, and shows where each copy lives. One copy is kept; you decide what happens to the rest.

01Found under different names and in different folders
02Send the extras to CutVault Trash, where they can be restored
03Or remove them from CutVault and leave the files on your drive
04Delete from Disk is permanent, and it asks first

When a newer xTool .xs file replaces an old .xcs file, xTool Legacy Files keeps the old version out of the way. The .xs file is never touched.

Large libraries

Built for libraries too big to sort by hand.

CutVault is already used with libraries ranging from thousands of files to hundreds of thousands — and even collections with more than 3 million files.

Real CutVault library sizes

10,000+File libraries
300,000+File libraries
3,000,000+File libraries

Sizes of real user libraries. They show real-world scale, not limits.

Large first-time libraries show progress while CutVault builds the library.You can see how it is going and come back when it is ready.

Once the library is ready, categories, tags, projects and bulk actions work across every folder and drive you added, however many files that is.

Beyond folders

More ways to keep a big library in order.

The tools that work alongside your categories and tags.

BULK

Bulk Actions

Select many designs, then add a tag or category, assign a machine, add them to a project or move them to Trash in one action.

JOBS

Projects

Keep one job’s designs, finished photos and assets together on three tabs, while the files stay in their folders.

FIND

Search & Filters

Search by file name, layer names, tags, categories, projects and notes, then filter by machine, folder, type and tag.

SETTINGS

Settings that worked

Supported LightBurn and xTool projects show the speed, power and passes they ran with, layer by layer, beside the design.

XTOOL

xTool Legacy Files

Only the latest version shows in the library. Archive old .xcs files to a backup ZIP, delete them, or restore one.

ZIP

Zip Files

Look inside design bundles and preview supported contents before extracting everything.

TRASH

CutVault Trash

Trashed designs, tags and categories can be restored. Deleting a file from your drive is a separate step that asks first.

DRIVES

Offline drives

CutVault shows when a drive is unavailable and reconnects the library when it returns.

FILES

Missing files

Use the Missing view to find files that are no longer where CutVault expects them.

01Do I need to clean up my folders first?

No. Add your folders as they are. Build from Folders can turn the layout you already have into categories, and you can improve the organization over time.

02Will CutVault move or rename my files?

No. Your files stay where they are. CutVault only changes a file when you explicitly ask it to, such as renaming it from inside the app. Removing a folder from the library does not delete the files from your drive.

03Where can my files be stored?

Folders on your computer, external drives, USB and SD storage, and locally synced Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive folders.

04Can one design have several tags?

Yes. Add as many as it needs, and it shows up under each one.

05Can one design be in more than one category?

Yes. Add it to as many as it fits. It is still one file on your drive.

06How is a category different from a tag?

Categories are a structure you browse, with categories inside categories and a cover on each. A tag is a word you put on any design and filter by. Many makers use both.

07Does CutVault tag or sort my files on its own?

No. CutVault suggests tags, and nothing is applied until you approve it, on one design or in a batch you can undo. Build from Folders shows a preview before any category is created.

08What happens to duplicate copies?

One copy is kept. You choose whether the extras go to CutVault Trash, where they can be restored, are removed from CutVault while staying on your drive, or are deleted from your computer after you confirm.

09What happens if I unplug a drive?

CutVault shows the drive as offline. Reconnect it and its library content becomes available again.

10I have hundreds of thousands of files. Will that work?

Yes. CutVault is already used with libraries well over 300,000 files, including collections with more than 3 million files. Very large first-time libraries can take time to build, so CutVault shows progress while it works through them.

11Are these tools sold separately?

No. Folders & Drives, Build from Folders, Categories, Tags, Duplicates and Bulk Actions are all included with CutVault Pro. The $169 one-time price is for the complete CutVault desktop app.
