What are SVG or PNG files and where can you get them? Leave a comment

SVG or PNG files are just files of specific type/with specific extensions, and they happen to be
used in crafting projects with die cutting machines.

Their full names are scalable vector graphic or portable network graphic, respectively, and they
are the preferred types used by your digital cutting machine. Such file formats are a popular tool
for displaying two-dimensional graphics, charts, and illustrations on websites. Plus, SVG, as a
vector file, can be scaled up or down without losing any of its resolution. They also let your
software understand where the machine needs to cut.

The SVG files are somewhat more user-friendly when stretching and scaling them to size, because
they are vector files. This means that you could cut the same design as a 10” x 10” shape for your
scrapbook or 4.25″ x 5.5″ card with an intricate front in no time at all!
