Think of the possibilities! So, I did some digging and found out exactly how it’s done. The sky is really the limit to what you can do here! Until I created my first round of silhouettes, I hadn’t ever had a project that made me want to figure the whole conversion process out, but I couldn’t shake the thought of how incredibly handy (and downright cool) it would be to have the ability to cut out my childrens’ silhouettes with my Cricut. When I purchased the software, I was impressed with one of the selling points being the fact that by converting any image file to a scalable vector graphic (SVG) format, you can then use your Cricut and SCAL software to cut it out. I’ve mentioned the Sure Cuts A Lot software quite a few times before (see the post here for another great project idea using your bug). I simply create a path > close it with Ctrl click on the starting point > Stroke Path > Export Path. Today I’m going to show you how to kick things up a notch by cutting out the same silhouettes you created with your Cricut! I’m on a PC so it might look different on a Mac.Before we get started today, it might be a good idea to take a refresher and read yesterday’s post about how to use your Photoshop Elements software to transform a humdrum photo into a snazzy silhouette. Here is a rundown of the basics (the video will have more in-depth information). However, when opening SVG, photoshop will convert our design to a bitmap/raster format.
They have separate downloads for PC and Mac so make sure you download the correct version and have the system requirements for it. Photoshop supports SVG and able to read it. Save this file as ai2svg, make it executable via chmod +x ai2svg then run it optionally passing the folder to look for. The first thing you’ll need to do if you haven’t already is to download Inkscape. How to Make SVG Files to Sell with Inkscape I also have a post on how to turn basic uploaded images into layers in Cricut Design Space.
If you’d like to learn how to convert images into layers to use in CDS, watch my video tutorial on Inkscape to Design Space here. To find out where I find mine for free or super cheap make sure to check out all things text in Cricut Design Space where I share all my favorites. That means you have to use only commercial use fonts that come with a license. The one thing you need to keep in mind if you are going to sell SVG files is that you need to have permission to use the fonts. brenopolanski/export-svg-inkscape.md Select the object(s) to export Open the document properties window (Ctrl+Shift+D) Select Resize page to drawing or. I made a video showing you the exact steps I use to make simple SVG files, so make sure to watch that below. Using -verbFileSave -verbFileQuitin the make file saves the SVG as a Inkscape SVGwith a lot of Inkscape window viewing information.
