EveryCutFileWhat each file type becomes
| File | Devices | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| SVG | Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android | Vector layers at the size written in the file |
| DXF | Windows and Mac only | Vector outlines; check the size after upload |
| JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, HEIC | All | A picture you clean up, saved as a cut image or a Print Then Cut image |
| PDF, TIFF | None | Not accepted |
Upload an SVG
- On a computer, select Upload on the design panel left of the Canvas, then Upload Image, and browse to the SVG.
- On a phone or tablet, tap Upload on the bottom toolbar and browse your files.
- Name the image and upload it, then add it to the Canvas.
- Select it and read the width and height against the size on the design page.
Why an upload fails or comes in incomplete
| What you see | Cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| “File Too Large” | More than 5,000 paths | Upload one design, or simplify the trace |
| “Your file includes unsupported items” | A pattern or gradient fill, a clipping path, editable text, or a linked or embedded picture | Flat colors, merged shapes, outlined text, no pictures inside |
| DXF cannot be chosen on a phone | The iOS and Android apps do not take DXF | Use the SVG |
| A picture becomes one solid shape | JPG and PNG upload as a single layer | Use an SVG for separate layers |
A worked example
Our pantry rounded rectangle label is one shape, 76 × 42 mm. Upload the SVG and it lands on the Canvas 76 mm wide, about 2.99 in in imperial units. Our layered drawings come in with one layer per color, so each color goes to its own mat when you select Make.
