What makes a vector file 'Cut-Ready' for Cricut and Silhouette?

Standard SVGs often contain overlapping brush strokes, raster textures, and disconnected paths that cause blade chatter and ruin materials. Vector Maker executes single-pass welded unions, generates automated 1-pull weeding boxes, and exports clean R12 DXF files compatible with basic cutter software without requiring paid upgrades.

How does Zero-Server Privacy protect my commercial artwork?

All raster-to-vector tracing and binary stitch generation execute 100% inside your local browser via WebAssembly (WASM) and Canvas API. Your original artwork, trade secret designs, and exported files never touch external servers or the cloud.

Why do commercial embroidery machines throw errors on standard DST files?

Tajima DST binary standards require an exact 512-byte ASCII header and strictly enforce maximum jump stitch coordinates to ≤ 12.1mm (121 coordinate units). Our engine calculates exact 3-byte ternary stitch deltas, splits oversized jumps automatically, and generates stabilizing 45° Tatami underlay to prevent fabric puckering.

Can I sell physical items cut with these exported files?

Yes. Both our free daily export and paid plans include a full commercial license for physical craft production (t-shirts, wood signs, decals, patches) and digital goods. You own 100% of your created vector output with zero attribution required.
