This tool is perfect for customizing wood signs for personal use or business branding. Whether you’re adding your company logo, favorite quote, or a unique design, the process is simple and fun!

Step 2: Upload Your Logo or Image

One of the best features of our design tool is the ability to upload your own logo, artwork, or any image you want engraved onto your wood sign. To do this, click the ADD IMAGE button in the designer’s sidebar. You can then browse files on your computer and upload the image or logo you’d like to use.

Our designer accepts common file types like PNG, JPEG, or SVG, ensuring your design will be high-quality and ready for laser cutting(SVG files are preferred because they can be scaled-up indefinitely). Once uploaded, you can resize and position your image anywhere on the sign template.

Step 3: Add Custom Text

Want to add a meaningful quote or business name? You can easily customize your sign with text by using the ADD TEXT option in the design panel. Click the button and start typing your desired message. The tool allows you to adjust various text properties such as:

  • Font Style: Choose from a wide variety of fonts to match the tone of your sign.
  • Font Size: Scale the text up or down to fit your design perfectly.
  • Color: Although wood signs are engraved, you can preview how the engraving will look with different color simulations.
  • Positioning: Drag the text to position it exactly where you want it on the sign.

With these customization options, you can create a sign that’s as unique as you are!

Step 4: Preview Your Design

Once you’ve uploaded your image and added custom text, it’s time to see how your sign will look when it’s finished. The online design tool provides a live Preview feature, allowing you to see a high-quality rendering of your wood sign before finalizing the order.

This preview lets you ensure that everything—from the positioning of your logo to the size of your text—matches your vision. You can make adjustments to any part of the design until you’re completely satisfied.

Step 5: Export Your Design

Once you’re happy with your design, the tool gives you the option to Download or Preview your design. These features are perfect for saving a copy of your custom wood sign design for future reference or sharing with others before placing your order.

When you export, the designer creates a high-resolution image of your design, which you can download to your computer. 

Step 6: Submit and Purchase Your Custom Wood Sign

When you’re done designing your custom laser cut wood sign, your design will be sent to Lighthouse Laser Co. when you click the Add to Cart button. At this point, you can complete your purchase through our secure checkout process. Our team will then review your design, send you a final proof before work begins, and then laser cut your sign according to your exact specifications and ship it to you.

Step 7: Receive Your Custom Wood Sign

Once your order is processed, our skilled craftsmen will begin laser cutting your wood sign using precision technology to ensure every detail of your design is brought to life. We’ll then carefully package and ship your custom sign to your desired location.
