Whats the difference between an SVG image and a PNG image? INFO ON HOW TO GET A FREE SIMBA CUT FILE AT THE BOTTOM, KEEP READING TO FIND OUT HOW!

** Simba is an example of an SVG layered image**

PNG's & SVG'S are both images with no background (transparent background) that you can upload into Design Space and cut with your cricut machine. These types of image files can be used on cricut design space without you having to make any adjustments to them, they are ready to make! PNG & SVG both work well with cutting machines. An svg has more than one layer and they are usually sorted by color. This Simba image is an example of an SVG, the right hand side has seperate layers listed in the different colors. When you uplaod an SVG it will upload all the color layers into cricut at once. When you cut and make it you have to cut the black, the yellow, green, pink then assemble all the layers to make your image.

SVG FILE

The first file type that we are going to talk a little bit about is a SVG file. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic. Basically that means you can make the file as big as you want and it will never get pixelated or blurry. SVG files are great to use with cutting machines because they have layers. You can ungroup, divide, and cut different colors and layers without having to trace at all.

PNG FILE

A PNG file stands for Portable Network Graphic. There are 2 main ways that this file type is different from a SVG. This first is that a PNG can get pixelated (or blurry) if it isn’t saved at a high resolution or if you stretch the image out too large. The other is that a PNG file is flat… meaning that you can not ungroup or move layers to cut it with a Silhouette or Cricut. PNG files also have a transparent background which makes them perfect for mock up images. *****To be added to my mailing list for free PNG & SVG images please send an email to ro.osabelladesigns@gmail.com.
