PNG vs SVG

Why Cricut works better with SVG

PNG
Logo saved as PNG and zoomed in: the edges break into visible pixelsPNG zoomed 800%

A PNG uploads as one flat image. Cricut cuts around its outline, and you erase the rest by hand.

SVG
SVG zoomed 800%

An SVG uploads as separate shapes, so you can cut each color from its own vinyl and resize it with sharp edges.

FAQ

PNG to SVG for Cricut FAQ

Is the converter free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. You can convert 2 images per day, up to 8 MB each.

Click Upload, then Upload Image, choose the SVG file and add it to your canvas. Ungroup it to edit, hide or delete parts before you cut.

The AI creates a shape for every color area it finds, including soft edges. A PNG with fewer, flat colors gives fewer layers. You can also hide or delete layers in Design Space.

If your PNG has a transparent background, the SVG will too. If it has a white background, delete that shape in Design Space after you upload.

Simple, sharp images cut well. Blurry or detailed images can give tiny pieces that are hard to weed. For a perfect cut file, a designer can redraw it by hand.

Yes. Most cutting and laser software opens SVG. In Silhouette Studio you need Designer Edition or higher to import SVG files.

Only if you own the artwork or have a license to sell it. Converting a file to SVG does not change who owns the design.

Your image is sent over a secure connection to Vectorizer.AI, the AI service that creates the SVG. We don't store your file on our servers.
