Silhouette Studio – Silhouette Studio (Business Edition or higher) allows you to create and save SVG files.It also allows you to draw your own SVG files from scratch. Inkscape – Inkscape is a free program that allows you to convert PNG and JPEG images into SVG files.When making SVG files (cut files), there are several programs that can be used. WHAT SOFTWARE IS USED TO CREATE CUT FILES?
SVG files can be used in personal cutting machines like Cricut and Silhouette. Because vector graphics can be scaled up, they can be placed on something as small as a business card or as large as a billboard and the resolution will be the same. Raster images lose resolution and become blurry if they are scaled up (enlarged) too much. The big difference between vector and raster is that vector files can be scaled up without losing resolution. Examples of raster graphics include JPEG and PNG files. Vector graphics are comprised of points whereas raster image formats are comprised of pixels.
SVG files are in vector file format instead of raster.
Cut file and SVG are used interchangeably. Before I get into how to create SVG files in Adobe Illustrator, let’s talk about what exactly an SVG is.
