Converting DXF to SVG for Cricut

DXF files are used by Silhouette and laser cutters but not natively by Cricut Design Space. Convert DXF to SVG using Inkscape (open DXF, Save As SVG) to use the design in Cricut.

  • Inkscape: open DXF, File > Save As > Plain SVG
  • Online: dxf2svg.com converts DXF to SVG instantly
  • Check path scale after conversion — DXF units may differ

Converting AI and EPS to SVG

Adobe Illustrator AI and EPS files open directly in Illustrator — use Save As SVG. In Inkscape, import AI/EPS files (requires Ghostscript) then export as Plain SVG.

  • Illustrator: File > Save As > SVG format
  • Inkscape: import EPS (requires Ghostscript installed)
  • Online converters: cloudconvert.com handles AI/EPS to SVG
