SVGs, or scalable vector graphics, are the new standard in web-delivered images because they are printable, cuttable, and scalable without resolution loss. SVG files are in particularly high demand among scrapbookers and paper crafters who use electronic die-cutting machines such as the Craft ROBO, Silhouette and Wishblade.
Though SVGs are more versatile than a jpeg or png file, third-party software is required in order to use them. For that reason, Lettering Delights will continue to offer alphabets, graphic sets, clipart and background papers in the traditional png format in addition to new SVG options.
If you are looking for a more versatile file format that allows you a myriad of creative uses, then look to our new SVGs. Here are some helpful tips for using them as shared by HubPages.
Viewing SVG Files
Most modern web browsers support viewing SVG files directly in the browser. The most notable exception is Internet Explorer. If you are having difficulty viewing your SVG files and need an easy way to see them, we have included a PDF reference sheet with your download that includes all the SVG images in your set. You can also refer to each product listing and Try Me Now tool at Lettering Delights to preview specific images included in any particular set.
Editing and Printing SVG Files
Unlike png and jpeg files, SVG images can be edited. To edit or print a SVG file, you'll need more sophisticated software. The most well known program for creating and editing SVG files is Adobe Illustrator, which runs on Macs and Windows computers. Another great alternative is Inkscape, which is free. On Windows, there are a few other options like Corel Paint Shop Pro and Microsoft Visio.
Using SVG Files with Electronic Diecut Machines SVG files are particularly popular among scrapbookers and paper crafts who use electronic die-cutting machines, some of which can incorporate SVG content through third-party software. Please refer to your specific machine for information on using SVG content provided by a third-party. |
