Works best for logos, stickers, clip art, lettering and t-shirt graphics with clear edges. Photos, watercolours and soft shading won’t become clean vectors.

Type of image

Colours

Auto

Far left = Auto: the tool finds the main colours.

Colours

Click a colour, or use Pick from image and click the picture, to remove it everywhere. Click a crossed-out colour to bring it back.

Sticker border

Off

A white border around your design, for print-then-cut stickers. Remove the background first.

Smooth curves

No overlaps Every colour becomes its own piece and the pieces meet edge to edge, nothing hidden underneath. Good for cutting layered vinyl and for editing shapes one by one.

Smooth gradients Beta Each colour gradient becomes one shape with a real gradient fill instead of flat colour bands. Best for print; for cutting machines leave it off.

Smooth skies Beta Soft, curvy skies (a sunset, a glow behind a skyline) become a few see-through gradient layers, very close to the original. Works with Smooth gradients.

Sharp text Keeps small lettering crisp and readable. Only the text areas change; the rest of the design stays as clean.

Engine

Vectacle: sharp, connected edges that keep small details. Classic: VTracer, a simpler open-source tracer without the AI edge step.

How to make a Cricut SVG from a PNG

Drop your PNG or JPG into the box above. Logo / 1 colour is already selected for a single cut layer.
Check the cut lines. Zoom in: thin parts and small gaps are where weeding gets hard. Move the threshold slider if parts merge or vanish.
Type the width in inches you want on your project.
Download the SVG.
In Cricut Design Space, click Upload, then Upload Image, choose the SVG and upload it. Select it, click Add to Canvas, and it’s ready to cut.

Single colour or layered vinyl

One colour: decals, HTV shirts, stencils and paper cuts need one clean shape. Logo / 1 colour turns your picture into exactly that, with no hidden background box and no tiny specks that the blade would try to cut.

Several colours: choose Clip art / stickers. Every colour becomes its own layer in Design Space, so you can cut each vinyl colour separately and stack them. Fewer colours means fewer layers to weed. Set the colour slider to what your design really needs.

Print then Cut: keep the colours and switch on Remove background, then flatten the layers in Design Space before printing.

Tips for clean cuts

Start from the biggest, sharpest version of the picture you have. Very thin lines (under about 1 mm at your final size) can tear when you weed, so check them at full zoom. If a design has text, keep it large enough for your material: small lettering is easier on cardstock than on glitter vinyl.

Questions

Will the SVG open in Cricut Design Space?

Yes. Upload it as an image in Design Space and it comes in as a cut image. A one-colour SVG becomes a single layer; a multi-colour SVG gets one layer per colour.

Which mode should I use for vinyl?

Logo / 1 colour for a single-colour decal or HTV design. Use Clip art / stickers for layered vinyl, where every colour becomes its own layer.

How do I get the right size?

Type the width in inches before downloading. The SVG then opens in Design Space at that size, so you don’t have to resize it there.

Can I cut the light parts instead of the dark ones?

Yes. In Logo / 1 colour, tick Invert to cut the light parts of the image.

Is it really free?

Yes. Converting and downloading are free while Vectacle is new, and there is no sign-up. Your image isn’t stored.
