Color overlap

Knockout removes higher colors from lower ones. Stack leaves the overlaps for layered vinyl. Check which method your material allows.

Excluded colors stay in your project but are not cut. Empty colors have no download. The assembly view stays normal; select a color preview to see its actual cut orientation.

Select and drag a shape in the assembly view. Arrow keys move it 0.1 mm while the preview has focus; Shift moves 1 mm. Numeric fields work without dragging.

Import each SVG at its full material size. Do not crop or auto-center individual colors. Crosses are alignment shapes, not proprietary machine marks. Print proof pages are scaled to fit Letter; use SVGs for full-size cuts. Save as PDF is also available in the print dialog.

One file for each color

Choose a multicolor SVG, or start with an example and add shapes. Set your material size, check how the colors overlap, then download a ZIP containing one SVG for each included, nonempty color, an illustrated PDF and a file checklist.

Which SVGs can I open?

Plain filled paths, polygons, circles, ellipses and rectangles, under 500 KB. Up to eight solid colors, 100 shapes and 12,000 points. Apply transforms and outline text or strokes in your source editor first. Scripts, images, masks, styles, gradients, transparency and external resources are refused. This tool does not trace photos. Import replaces the design after a successful check; Undo brings it back.

Are curves preserved exactly?

Curves are converted to closed straight-segment cutting paths. The displayed approximation bound scales when you resize a shape. Polygon coordinates are rounded to a 0.001 mm grid for color subtraction. Holes and fill rules are retained, and crossing outlines are refused. Check fine details at the final size before cutting.

How do mirroring and registration work?

Three matching cross shapes share the full material origin. A mirrored layer flips both its artwork and its crosses. The assembled view shows the final normal orientation; each color view and SVG show its actual cut orientation. Align after applying the correct transfer orientation. Confirm the method with your vinyl supplier.

What is saved?

Your vector shapes and settings are saved in this browser on this device. Save project creates a portable ZIP backup. Start over clears this tool’s saved design after confirmation; downloaded files are untouched. No artwork is sent to a server. Cutter compatibility, blade settings and material performance require a real test.
