Close Open SVG Paths

An open path is invisible in a design tool but silently fails — or cuts wrong — on a laser, vinyl, or CNC cutter. Finds every open path in an SVG and closes it, leaving already-closed shapes untouched. Processed entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded.

FAQ

Why does an open path matter?
A closed path has an unbroken outline, so a cutter knows exactly what shape to cut. An open path has a gap — even a tiny one — which can make a cutter skip the shape entirely, leave a small uncut bridge, or produce an unpredictable result depending on the software.
Will this change the shape of already-closed paths?
No — only subpaths that are genuinely open get a closing segment added. Anything already closed is left completely untouched.
What if my file has no open paths?
You still get a downloadable file back (named with "-checked" instead of "-closed") — it's a useful way to confirm a file is cut-ready before sending it off.
