Download, size, test
Download SVG for Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio Designer Edition. Set the finished size in your cutting app and test a scrap before cutting.
Before you cut
The preview follows the edges in your photo. A plain background and fewer details usually make an easier vinyl decal. Check loose islands, small holes and fine lines at your final size; test a scrap of your actual material.
Works with Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio Designer Edition or above. Silhouette Studio Basic cannot open SVG. Use the PNG with its Trace panel instead. For iron-on, mirror in your cutting app if your material requires it.

& possibilities.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding, edge detection and vector tracing run in your browser. Your photo stays on your device, is not sent to FontKite or an image service, and is not saved when you leave. Optional usage analytics never include photos, filenames or image contents.
What is inside the SVG?
The SVG contains single-color, closed, filled paths with transparent holes. It has no text, fonts, scripts or embedded photo. These are cut outlines around the lines, not single-line pen strokes. Fine detail is simplified when needed to stay below 6,000 nodes and 400 paths.
Can I use a photo to SVG for Cricut Design Space?
Yes. Download the SVG, upload it to Cricut Design Space and set its finished dimensions there. Small islands and thin lines can be difficult to weed, so increase line thickness, reduce detail and test your material. FontKite is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cricut, Inc.
Will it work in Silhouette Studio Basic?
Silhouette Studio Basic cannot open SVG. SVG import requires Silhouette Studio Designer Edition or above. For Basic, download the transparent PNG and use Studio’s Trace panel to create cut lines, then check the size and enclosed spaces.
What makes a good photo to line drawing?
A well-lit portrait, pet or object with a simple background works best. This line art generator follows visible edges; it does not recognize or redraw a subject. Fur, shadows and busy backgrounds may need lower detail. Remove light background only removes very light pixels; it is not automatic subject removal.
Is the PNG transparent, and how large is it?
Yes. The PNG uses the same black shapes as the SVG on a transparent background, with 2,048 pixels on its longest side. Use it for a print reference or tracing. SVG scales without a fixed print resolution; confirm the physical size in your cutting app.
