Slicer profile translator, take your settings with you when you switch slicers
Years of tuning a print profile should not have to start over because you switched slicers. The translator reads a profile from Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio and maps more than 100 settings, temperatures, retraction, speeds, cooling and the rest, into the equivalent profile for any of the other three, matched by what each setting actually does rather than by a similarly worded name.

Three steps: pick the direction, provide the profile, read the translation.
Pick the source and target slicer
Choose which of the four slicers, Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio, your current profile comes from, and which one you are switching to. Every direction between the four is supported, rather than a single conversion path.
Provide the profile
Load your existing profile file so the translator can read the settings you have already tuned. Nothing about this step requires re-typing the numbers by hand, which is the part that normally takes an evening or more.
Read the translated profile
The translator returns the mapped settings for the target slicer, matched by what each one actually controls. Where two slicers use different units or group a behaviour differently, the translation accounts for that instead of copying a raw number across unchanged.
Four slicers, translated in either direction
The same settings, mapped by function rather than by name, between any pair of the four.
Built around semantic mapping, not name matching
The same physical setting is named differently, grouped differently and sometimes given in different units across these four programs. Matching by name alone gets a surprising number of them wrong.
Matched by function, not by a similar name
Two slicers can name the same behaviour differently, or give the same name to two settings that do not quite do the same thing. The translator maps parameters by what they actually control, temperature, retraction distance, cooling fan behaviour and the rest, rather than trusting that a matching label means a matching effect.
An honest answer when there is no equivalent
Not every setting in one slicer has a direct counterpart in another; the underlying slicing engines do not all model the print the same way. Where that is the case, the translator says so directly instead of forcing a nearest guess that quietly changes how the profile behaves.
More than 100 parameters, beyond the obvious ones
Temperatures and retraction are the settings people remember to check by hand. The translator also carries across speeds, cooling behaviour and the less visible parameters that took just as long to tune the first time, so a profile switch does not quietly reset the settings nobody thought to re-check.
The profile never leaves your browser
Reading the source profile and generating the translated one both happen locally in the browser tab, without the file being sent to a server to be processed. The only thing that leaves your machine is the translated profile you choose to download.
Frequently asked questions
Why do slicer settings need translating instead of just copying the numbers across?
Because the same physical setting is frequently named differently, grouped under a different category, or expressed in different units between slicers, and a handful of settings do not have a direct equivalent at all. Copying a raw number from one slicer's field into a similarly named field in another can quietly change what actually happens during the print.
Which slicers does the translator support?
Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer and Bambu Studio, in every direction between the four, rather than one fixed conversion path.
How many settings actually get translated?
More than 100 parameters are mapped, covering temperatures, retraction, print and travel speeds, cooling and the other settings that shape a print, beyond the handful most people remember to check by hand when switching software.
What happens to a setting that has no real equivalent in the target slicer?
The translator says so directly rather than forcing a nearest guess. Slicing engines do not all model a print the same way underneath, so a small number of settings genuinely do not have a matching control on the other side, and pretending otherwise would produce a translation that looks complete but is not accurate.
Does my profile get uploaded anywhere?
No. Reading the profile and building the translated version both happen in your browser; the file is never sent to a server, and the only output is the translated profile you download yourself.
Will the translated profile print exactly the same as the original?
Where a direct equivalent exists, yes, the mapped setting should behave the same way in the new slicer. Where the translator had to use a semantic equivalent rather than an exact match, treat the result as a strong starting point rather than a guaranteed identical print, and check the first layer and a short test print before committing a full job to it.
