SVG cut file checker: local preview and named checks

What the file contains

Example: our classic gift tag, checked here. Drop your SVG to check it instead.

Checked

No problems found

Some things can’t be told from the file

10 of 13 checks passed; the rest can’t be told from the file alone.

Nothing in the file needs changing before you import it. The checker reads the file only; it can’t tell how it will cut on your machine or material.

Can’t tell from the file

Shapes stacked twice: 0 exact copies sitting on top of each other (they would cut twice). Moved or differently written copies aren’t checked.
Small pieces: Not checked. Enter the smallest piece your machine cuts cleanly, and use a file that states its size in mm, cm or inches.
Thin lines: Not checked. A line’s width on screen isn’t the width of material left after cutting.

Passed checks

Scripts and outside links: No scripts, links to outside files or embedded pictures.
Elements: 6 parts in the file, 2 of them paths. Files with more than 5,000 parts are flagged.
Text: No live text.
Embedded pictures: No embedded pictures.
Gradients: Gradients only change how it looks; they don’t become separate cut layers.
Open paths: 0 open paths (lines whose ends don’t meet). They may be fold lines on purpose.
Opacity: See-through or hidden shapes may still come in as cut lines. Check them before you set Cut or Score.
Filters: Filter effects such as shadows and blurs don’t become cut lines.
Clipping and masks: Clipping can hide parts of a shape on screen that your cutting software may still cut.
Dimensions: The file should state its width and height and have a viewBox, so it imports at the right size.

File size: 465 bytes. 6 elements; 2 paths.

What the checker tells you

The width and height set how big the file opens; the viewBox is the drawing’s own grid. Counting shapes and layers helps you understand a file, but can’t tell you for sure how it will import or cut. When an outline is too complex to measure safely, the checker leaves its size blank instead of guessing.
