To achieve the (smallest file size) while maintaining razor-sharp cut/engrave paths, you must avoid blurring or merging vector nodes.
| Setting | Value | Why this works | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | RLE + Deflate | Best for binary (black/white) laser paths | | Quality Mode | Razor (Edge-only) | Preserves sharp corners, compresses fills | | Resolution | 254 DPI (0.1mm) | xTool P2 laser spot size. Lower than this loses sharpness | | Color Reduction | 2 Colors (Monochrome) | Removes anti-aliasing (fuzzy edges) | | Threshold | 128 (50% gray) | Converts all gray to pure black/white | | Dithering | OFF (None) | Dithering kills compression ratio | | Vector Keep | On (Exact nodes) | Prevents rounding of coordinate points | xtool compress app razor settings best compression ratio
