Convert Studio to SVG
by Mary Pfaff

In the following tutorial, I will show you how to convert your saved designs in Silhouette Studio into a SVG file outside of Silhouette Studio. You will only be able to save closed designs. Meaning all drawings must intersect together to make one complete line. This will allow for the design to be filled with black and/or white. The reason for filling with black and white is so when it is converted to SVG (vector) in Inscape, it can decipher the lines. At this time, this process does not convert perforated lines. They must be added in later.

In Silhouette Studio
open View, then un-check “Show Grid.”
This allows for white
background.

![]() |
Now go to: File, then
Print
(We will not actually
print it)
|
![]() |
When printer box
appears, select “PDF”, then “Save as PDF.”
|
![]() |
In the new drop down
box, choose where you want it. I
use “Desktop” for this step.

Now you need
“Inkscape.” (Free software
download)
Open “Inkscape.” Select “File”, then “Import,” then the
file you want and select “Open.”

![]() |
A drop down box will
appear with your image. Select
O.K.
|
![]() |
Select your
image. (Arrows will appear around
image)
Move image into box (art
board) on screen.
|
![]() |
Select “Edit,” then
“Make A Bitmap Copy” (Alt + B on keyboard)
|
![]() |
The image should now
be covered with an X.
Select “Path,” then
“Trace Bitmap,” (shift + Alt + B).
|
![]() |
In drop down box
select “Update,” then “O.K.”
You will need to
close drop down box now.
Last step is to save
image as a SVG.
