Get it right

Settings that matter

The handful of choices that decide whether your file works the first time.

Closed paths only

Cricut cuts the outline of every shape. Clearly outputs closed vector paths, so there are no open ends to confuse the blade.

Weeding-friendly detail

Keep negative spaces above ~2mm so weeding stays sane. Reach for silhouette, outline and minimalist styles for fine work.

Single-color layers

Generate flat, single-fill shapes that map to one mat color per layer, then group by color before you export.

Real size, real units

Set final size in mm/inches before export so kiss-cut and offset behave. SVG scales losslessly, so up-sizing never pixelates.

Do

  • ✓Pick silhouette / line-art / minimalist for clean cuts
  • ✓Add a small offset for weeding tabs when needed
  • ✓Group paths by color
  • ✓Test-cut on scrap first

Avoid

  • ✕Avoid hairlines under ~0.5mm
  • ✕No open paths or stray points
  • ✕Gradients won't cut — use flat fills
  • ✕Skip text smaller than ~6mm
