Cricut Design Space: Why You Must Convert JPG to SVG for Cutting
By Image Size Compress Team•
If you upload a standard JPG photo to Cricut Design Space, the machine sees it as a flat rectangle. It doesn't know where the 'edges' of your design are.
The Vector Difference
Cutting machines need paths (vectors), not pixels. SVG files contain mathematical lines that tell the blade exactly where to go.
Free Vectorization
Stop paying for 'SVG Cut Files' on Etsy. Take your black-and-white JPG, upload it to our PNG to SVG Converter, and select 'Traced Mode'. It instantly generates the cut paths you need.
