Yes! All of our files come in ZIP format and must be extracted/unzipped before they can be used in Silhouette Studio Designer Edition. Note: If you’re using Sure Cuts A Lot with your Silhouette cutting machine, you don’t need to UNZIP the files. Click here to see why we prefer Sure Cuts A Lot when it comes to using our files!

With Silhouette Studio Designer Edition, you don’t need to trace our files since they can be opened natively. Tracing our files is a completely unnecessary step and will ultimately alter the original integrity of the file. It is not the correct method of importing and cutting our files. Check out the video below to see the correct method!

Some Silhouette users have successfully converted our SVG files to the above mentioned formats, but we advise against this practice for two reasons. Firstly, we cannot guarantee the integrity of our files when they are converted from their native SVG format. This means that if the project doesn’t cut correctly or assemble properly, we can’t offer support. Secondly, with the availability of Silhouette Studio Designer Edition, you don’t need to convert the files. Designer Edition gives you the ability to natively import SVG files without having to convert anything. Get a copy of Silhouette Studio Designer Edition by clicking here.
