Well, I have a small hack I share with all my people. How to Export Your Cricut Designsĭid you spend an afternoon designing the perfect card that you just want to share with your fellow Cricut crafting friends?Īnd then you realize Cricut doesn’t actually let you export any of the designs you make in the app. They just cloak it in all sorts of terrible what they probably consider consumer level terminology so both the technical and non-technical people have no idea what is actually happening. But there is functionality there to convert PNGs to SVGs. It takes a lot of math to do this and even Adobe Illustrator (probably the most popular vector image editor) is not great at this.Ĭricut Design Space has minimal vectorization functionality. You can just “connect the dots” in any random way. Well, it is actually technically really difficult to transform a bunch of dots into lines. You might wonder why can’t they just do this for you? The Cricut blade needs direction, literally.Ĭricut knows the inconvenience of having to only use SVG files or turn bitmap images into SVG files. Your Cricut, doesn’t know what to do with information that comes in little dots. The bitmap images you see on the web, that your camera takes, that your printer uses, typically use common bitmap formats like PNG, BMP, or JPEG. A vector image format is different than a bitmap image because it contains directional information (paths) as opposed to pixel information (dots). How to turn a picture into a cut file for the Cricutįirst, let me provide a little technical primer on different file formats. People seem to gloss over the fact that it is possible to just convert your bitmap image into cut files within the Cricut Design Space app. I see a lot of tutorials out there on how to make SVGs with different software. This applies to wedding photos, your dog, your cat, grandma and a raccoon if that is what pleases you. This is a quick tutorial on how to turn any photo into a cut file WITHOUT ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE in Design Space. In the meantime, I will just have a decal of him.
