Best file format for Cricut: SVG, DXF, PNG or PDF?

Choose SVG when you need vector outlines and your software accepts it. Use the destination’s documented format support to decide whether DXF, PNG or PDF fits the job.

What each format carries

Start with the software

Design Space accepts SVG and DXF as vector uploads, but mobile Design Space does not accept DXF. Glowforge supports SVG and PDF for vector work and reserves DXF import for Premium.
