![]() An SVG cut file is a graphic format that stands for scalable vector graphics. Let’s talk about what an SVG is and how isn’t different from a PNG or Jpeg image. How many of you think that the only way you can cut out a shape on Cricut is by having an SVG file WITH layers to upload? And how many of you have seen an image you would love to use in a layered file but have no idea how to make that happen? What is the difference between a layered SVG and a PNG or Jpeg image? ![]() I will give a step-by-step explanation with photos and then at the very bottom there are TWO videos for Inkscape and I want you to start with the first one because I will ease you into the process before jumping into more advanced techniques like cleaning up your blended images. Why? I want to offer you variety and also show you the contrast of working in Inkscape versus a one-click converter which is convenient but doesn’t offer a lot of control over the final outcome. First I will show you an online converter, and then I will show you two images inside Inkscape which is my favorite software for creating layered SVG files. In this post, I will show you two ways to convert images or clipart to SVG files. There are a few free programs out there that are one-click wonders for converting images to SVG files but they don’t offer you the ability to clean the image up in the way you may want. Usually, around the time a Cricut user starts to feel confident using their machine they may ask, how can I convert an image to SVG? It’s easier than you think and soon you’ll be making SVG files on your own. ![]() Learning to create your own SVG files is an amazing skill to have.
