![]() Click update to preview the image, and then click OK. ‘Smooth’, ‘Stack scans’ and ‘remove background’ should be selected. Now click ‘Path’, and select ‘Trace Bitmap’. Your JPG image will now appear in Inkscape. Click file, then import.įind your coloring page download on your computer and select it. Once you’ve found a coloring page of your choice, and downloaded it to your computer, continue with the following instructions. ![]() Afterwards, I’ll also show you how to make the actual coloring t-shirt with black iron on vinyl and the Cricut Maker. Now I’ll go through the entire process of how to take your coloring page JPEG image, use the trace bitmap feature to copy it, and convert it into a usable SVG cut file. So that’s why I prefer to use Inkscape, and I’m sure you will too! Inkscape cleans up your image entirely, giving you nice smooth cut lines, and a completely usable SVG cut file. This is OK if you’re image is very basic, but not with an entire coloring page!Įven after removing the background, the cut lines can be very jagged and unusable. I’m going to share some screenshots below showing this process in Design Space.Īfter you have uploaded your JPEG image, you have to spend a long time removing every piece of background. Inkscape on the other hand, converts your image into an SVG instantly, with barely any work on your part. Trying to convert a complex image in Design Space would mean A LOT of cleaning up of the image. Sometimes you can convert JPG images into SVGs in Design Space, but usually only with very simple images with little to no detail. The Trace Bitmap feature copies, or traces an image and converts it into a cleaner, more usable SVG cut file. You can use this feature for so many different kinds of projects! The Trace Bitmap feature isn’t available in Design Space, and is well worth learning about. If you’ve used Design Space (or other design software), then you will already be familiar with many of the features in Inkscape, they just have different names! We’re focusing on the Trace Bitmap feature in this post. It offers better customization and design options when it comes to preparing SVGs for Cricut. Inkscape is a free design software that has far more features than Cricut Design Space. These files are usually JPEG, so we need to convert it into an SVG to use with the Cricut Maker, and we’re using Inkscape! FYI there’s really no difference between a JPEG and a JPG file, so don’t stress and know that this method works for both! We found and downloaded a Peppa Pig coloring page that was perfect for this coloring shirt project. CDR or CorelDraw File format is also a widespread vector graphics format that is primarily used for vector graphic images and drawings.1.6 DIY Peppa Pig Shirts Convert JPEG To SVG In Inkscape PDF or Portable Document Format can display both vector or raster files, and you can use it web applications or printing purposes. SVG or Scalable Vector Graphic is a vector format suitable for the web, as it can be resized and still maintain high quality. To open EPS files, you’ll need Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. AI files have typical use for storing logos, illustrations, and print layouts.ĮPS or Encapsulated PostScript format is usually used for master logo files, graphics, and print designs. Adobe Systems developed the AI file format or Adobe Illustrator Artwork that can you can edit or open only in Adobe Illustrator. If you need to open your file with the graphic software you already have, check out some of the most popular vector formats in general use. Typical uses of vector formats are for logos, charts, illustrations, icons, printing purposes, etc.Įven though there are a lot of advantages to vector formats, you still need to know which one is the best for you. vector graphics also have a lot of different uses. Although raster files are more suited for higher resolution prints, as they can be printed at 300dpi, have full compatibility, etc. If you resize raster format, it is impossible to maintain image quality because of a limited number of pixels, and the image can be degraded or distorted.Īnother advantage of vector formats is the file size that is considerably smaller in comparison with raster formats such as JPG, PNG, BMP, etc. Vector graphics files also can be easily edited and manipulated for the desired application. ![]() One of them is that you can resize vector files without distortion of the image. Because of this, there are many advantages of vector formats. On the other hand, vector formats use points to create paths represented with mathematical formulas. However, raster formats use colored pixels or separate building blocks to form an image. Difference between vector and raster formatsīoth vector and raster formats are image formats.
