Turn your SVG designs into cut-ready DXF files for Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, and other cutting software with ConvertSVG. Cricut Design Space accepts DXF files as Basic Cut lines, and many crafters prefer to share and archive their cut files as DXF — our free converter makes that a one-click job, right in your browser. Start from a plain image? Vectorize it to SVG first with the Cricut SVG converter, then convert that SVG to DXF here.
SVG stores shapes as paths and curves — great for the web, but many cutting programs (and designers you trade files with) prefer DXF. Our converter samples every path into a clean polyline with adjustable curve precision, so your cut lines stay smooth and your machine-friendly files stay small. Everything runs locally — your drawings never leave your device.
Yes. Design Space lets you upload DXF files as vector cut lines — the same way it accepts SVG. Choose Upload > Vector > Upload, select your file, and it imports ready to cut.
Both work in Design Space. SVG is slightly easier to work with for full-color and layered projects, while DXF is the standard file format crafters use to share cut files and move designs between machines and software.
DXF is the format many designers, SVG files, and other machines (Silhouette, laser cutters, CNC) use. Converting your SVG to DXF lets you trade files with other crafters and reuse designs across different cutting tools.
Either millimeters or inches work — Design Space rescales on import. Pick the unit you are used to; this sets the DXF drawing units header, and you can fine-tune the size in Design Space.
No. All conversion happens in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
