Make a clean, cut-ready SVG from any PNG or JPG — one layer per color, no stray specks.
Left: a compressed JPEG. Right: the clean SVG from Shapesoda. Drag to compare.
Cricut Design Space can upload a PNG, but it turns it into a single flat layer, and its own image cleanup is rough around curves and text. An SVG keeps every color as its own layer with smooth outlines, so each one can be cut from its own vinyl or cardstock. Shapesoda traces your image into exactly that kind of SVG, and lets you trim specks and extra colors before you ever open Design Space.
Many SVGs stack colors on top of each other: the bottom color is a full silhouette and the others sit on it. For printing that's fine, but a cutting machine then cuts the hidden parts too, which wastes material and makes layering harder. Cut-out shapes don't overlap, so each color is cut as exactly the piece you see.
Smooth Bézier curves with only the nodes the shape needs. Easy to edit and cut.
Color fades become real SVG gradients you can edit.
SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF and PNG from one result.
Connect Shapesoda to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Recolor, draw, pick colors or remove shapes. No Illustrator needed.
Send a JPG or PNG, get an SVG back. Add vectorization to your app.
Yes. Upload it as a regular SVG. Each color arrives as its own layer you can resize, recolor, hide or attach.
Yes. The same SVG works in Silhouette Studio (Designer Edition and up), Brother ScanNCut CanvasWorkspace, Sure Cuts A Lot and Inkscape. There is also DXF for programs that prefer it.
No. Shapesoda is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Cricut, Inc. Cricut and Design Space are their trademarks.
Without a plan, one credit is one downloaded image, in any format. The Personal plan needs no credits on the website; the API plan adds credits every month. Re-downloading the same image — even in another format — is free for 30 days.
Not while your API plan is active: unused credits roll over, up to 5 months’ worth. When the plan ends, its credits expire. The free credit for new accounts does not expire.
Only when you need it. The editor keeps your image in memory only while you work, and an API request for a single format keeps nothing. When you ask the API for several formats, request storage, or use the MCP server, the image and the results are kept for 24 hours, encrypted with a key that only you receive (anyone with the result link can download it), then deleted automatically. We never use your images to train models. The list of recent images on the start screen lives only in your browser.
You do. You keep all rights to the images you upload and to the vectors made from them — we claim none. Please upload only images you have the right to use.
