Inkscape SVGs are vector based, scaling up or down easily to create smooth cuts with your cutting machine blade. Inkscape SVG files differ from a PNG file or a JPG file in the way the image information is stored. Check out the two images below made by me - one is my best freehand, the other is a vector image done in Inkscape. This vector format allows those of us without a steady hand and fine art skills the ability to make straight lines, curved lines, and everything else look good! I am not talented at drawing either. The beauty of vector software is that you have total control over your design and can reposition lines until you are satisfied. SVG files are vector-based images that you can make in vector software like Inkscape. Even better, you don’t have to be a talented artist to create them, thanks to the ability to modify them easily in Inkscape. A SVG file has the power to resize and never lose its clean lines or sharpness. SVG stands for “scalable vector graphics” and it is the best way to make your own custom designs for cutting machines like the Cricut.
