- CRICUT TIPS: HOW TO CONVERT A PHOTO TO SVG FOR CRICUT PROJECTS
Hi Cricuters, if I had one piece of advice to give to anyone wanting to make money with their Cricut machine it would be to offer custom and personalized gifts. Far too often I see people selling generic projects with their Cricut machine and then they're complaining that they can't get orders. Their projects are really cute but they don't have things like names dates or photos added to them. Adding photos to your blanks is one of my favorite ways to make personalized gifts. Today I'm going to show you how to convert a photo into an svg. This is a great skill to have and will allow you to make really customized pieces of art with your Cricut machine. I mostly use this technique on my memorial lanterns but I have also made tons of other gifts with photos like Christmas ornaments, pillows, t-shirts, coffee mugs, shadow boxes and more. There's a few different steps that you have to do to convert a photo into an svg and most of it's done on my cell phone so I'm gonna show you guys how I do that in this video.

You're so welcome!
Thank You!
You're welcome 😊
I stop by to watch
Thank you for watching 👀 🥰
Thank you
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a great video and directing me to some perfect sites! I shook my head when you had to sign up for Cricut Access AGAIN! I wondered - I have a basic Canva account and am able to download transparent images. Would that work when uploading to Design Space?
As a Beginner I would like if you had a bigger cursor and explain where the button are located on the program so it is easier to see and follow your movements. thank you.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep that in mind for my future videos!
Background remove is also avail online (web version), don’t necessarily need the app for that part. Also sending images through FB, they end up very condensed as FB compresses it and you can loose quality… but hey if it works, it works! :)
You can use a png to SVG free website to covert it into an SVG. Even though you named your file SVG, it’s not an SVG, it’s a jpg or png depending how you saved it… then you don’t need to worry about Cricut making you pay.
Love this memorial lantern!!I Lost my son and would love to make this! Thank you so much!!😁😁😁😁QUESTION ,where do you get the lanterns?
Oh mama this comment hurts my heart 💔 I'm so sorry for your loss. No mother should ever have to go through that. But to answer your question, these are the ones I use amzn.to/3UdgpSm . I'm posting a more detailed lantern tutorial this month
Hi! Just found your channel. And watching all the Videos one question please- how you make those elephants ? Did you post you any video for it. Thank you so much really like your channel
I’d love to see you put the result on your lantern, and also, what else could these be used for? I’m a complete newbie.
I'll make a part 2 soon where I make a lantern with the photo! Most people use photos like these for memorial gifts. So ornaments, shadow boxes, pillows, etc.
I LOVE your tutorials ESPECIALLY that you don’t put that annoying music in the background. Thank you. My only sadness is that you don’t use Apple.
Aww thanks! I don't own any apple stuff. I'd love to try an iPhone but it's annoying how there's no mic jack. I see they take great photos though haha
Any tips on cleaning up pet photos? What I'm getting kinda shows every hair so it would be impossible for printing and weeding. Wondering how to get more solid sections if that makes sense
Ty so much for the tip! Is there any way to get rid of the thick lines, that Cricut cuts as a double? Will highly appreciate the answer!
I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Where can I purchase the lanterns you featured in your video? Much appreciated 🙂
I got those a few years ago at Ocean State Job Lot and I haven't seen them since. I have seen some nice ones at Target for $10 and some even nicer ones at Bed Bath and Beyond for around $12
I saw your video and wanted to know if I can use the same process to do vinyl on the cricut? Thanks
I do use vinyl to do this! I put the photos on lanterns with vinyl!
👍🏼❤️🤗
Thanks for watching!
Excellent thank you 👍🏻👍🏻, what’s the apps for apple 🍏 please??
I believe it's called Imaengine
Hello, I followed you video, got my picture uploaded to design space, but the picture comes out a solid black in the cut file. I do not have access. Please help. Thanks
What are the 2 apps u talked about using and do they cost
Remove.bg and Adobe Capture and they're free
How much do you charge for the memorial lanterns...
Question. Can I do this with an android phone. And am I making a stencil to use etching cream?
The remove.bg app and the Adobe Capture app are both on the Google play store on an Android phone. I didn't make a stencil with etch cream. I cut the design with black Oracle 651 vinyl and applied it to the glass.
Duh!!🤪 LOL Thank you!!
Hello, will these steps work on a laptop?
Hi, yes!
I tried so hard to locate the Adobe Capture app but with no success. I was really hoping to try out the contents of your video. It seemed just what I was looking for. So disappointed. thank you for a great video.
Do you have an iphone or android?
Can you show me one after weeding
Can you show us how to draw a photo directly on to a canvas board using cricut?
I've never done that before, I'm sorry.
Isnt there a way just to have an "eraser" so I can simply erase any lines or areas that I want instead of going through this process?
There's no eraser tool in Design Space
It mean you have to mirror it before cutting it
You don't need to mirror permanent vinyl before cutting it. The only time I would mirror this vinyl is if you are putting it on the INSIDE of the glass on a lantern.
My mac book doesn't have the paint program im stuck now
Ahh I'm sorry I don't have any Apple products so idk
This didn't help if you can't see the proofread all the way thru to finish. i mean, what do we do after selecting "vinly " far as "placing it on the mat the last part I s not very detailed
You just cut and weed it. But I'm working on another new video showing the whole process of making a lantern. Stay tuned 💕
My computer did not save it right and would not paste
What would be the equivalent of Adobe Capture on a Mac? All I see is is Adobe Lightroom.
I think it's called Imaengine
Have you tried this with draw?
Like using a pen or marker to draw a photo? I have not tried that. It's a neat idea though
@@Cricuter Let me know if you give it a try. I could see canvas or cardstock gifts
You recommended the BG background removal and it is junk. I just wasted my money it is not working for me correctly.
The background remover is a free app
Wahooo Team android 🤖
Hahaha I've never been able to make the switch to Iphones!
What vinyl do you use to cut your photo svg
I always use oracle 651 amzn.to/3pkHq7x
This is not letting me in to photos done evething you said and just clicking of evertime
how can u do cricut phopt how easy it do
I'm sorry I don't understand what you're asking
i am ask for help how to cricut phopt projects@@Cricuter
has Adobe Photoshop and inkscape both of which can save as an SVG ..lol so no need for remove background feature! But paying for Adobe so swings and roundabouts
Good to know, thanks!
Illustrator is even better than Photoshop for editing svgs. With Illustrator you can bring the image in and use image trace to make an svg in one shot
Didnt work for me.
Hmm sorry to hear that. Sometimes it depends on the photo. I ask customers to send me a few photos if possible so I can see which comes out best
Ohhhh I didn't know the lost child on the side of milk cartons was called circuit projects. Weird
What a weird comment
U haven’t shown your completed project
Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
