Again, I am not talking about the legality of doing this, just simply the fact that there is a Design Space process that would allow you to do this. If they were really svg files you would just upload them and they would be ready to use.įor this Superman logo image, if you found this image on the internet and saved it to your computer you can then upload that image to Design Space. And that is why you have to take extra steps to make them into a Cricut multi color cutting file in Design Space. but the truth is, they are not svg files. There are a lot of social media groups that will allow people to share things, and people in those groups will call these things SVG files.

A svg file contains data to tell the Cricut software which areas are already assigned to a color and where those areas start a stop. NOTE: An image (png/jpg file) is different then a svg file. Create Cricut multi color cutting file from PNG Files That is a long process and I have detailed that out in an article HERE. The other way to get a svg file is to make your own.

I have a video about how to work with a svg file on an iPad for you HERE. Remember, this process is different for every operating system out there. You want the svg file, which will have an icon that looks like the one that I am pointing to in the image above. That is NOT the file you want to try to upload into Design Space.

PERFECT LAYERS VS LAYER GUIDES ZIP

The zip folder is just the shipping container. You have to open that box (unzip that folder) to get inside of it to access the items (files). Think of those downloaded zip folders as a box from Amazon. The process for unzipping a zipped folder is different depending on the device you are using.

You will have to download that folder and unzip it. When you buy the file most times they are going to send you multiple files in one folder, called a zip folder.

That way you know for sure it was made to be compatible with their software and cutting machines.īut let’s say you wanted to go the route of buying the svg from someone on Etsy.

I go into this in detail in an article on the rules around copyright.Įven if we take the legality piece out of this conversation, if you have to purchase the svg from a seller on Etsy or you have to buy the image from Cricut personally to me it is a no brainer. It costs a LOT of money to legally acquire the rights to images from movies, tv, and other pop culture items. If you find a svg for sale of this exact same Superman logo image there is a 99% chance that seller is selling it illegally. You can also buy svg files from a lot of places, including Etsy. If you use Design Space on the computer, click HERE. If you would prefer to watch a video I have those on my YouTube channel.

If you have never used a svg file before, I would recommend reading the information I have on svg files HERE. In order to use s svg in Cricut Design Space you download it, unzip the downloaded folder and then upload the svg file to Design Space. All of them will come into Cricut Design Space black, but look at each piece and just change the color to be the correct color for that layer. Now add all three of those layers you just created to Cricut Design Space. Upload the same image a third time and remove the background, all of the red and the black parts. Upload the same image, and remove the background, all of the yellow and black parts. Then I will save that as the black layer. The first time I upload this image, I am going to only remove the background. If I wanted to create that same image with three colors in it from a flat PNG or JPG image, I would have to upload the image three times, because the image has three colors in it. Let’s look at this Superman image, specifically the one that I used in my comparison above and said would be good for layering. If you were to use a SVG file of this image, as long as it was made correctly, that should also upload into Design Space with the correct Cricut layer information applied to the design.
