How to create SVG cut files...

[Former_Member]

Hello!
I am new to Cricut but I am really trying to figure something out and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am wanting to know what program is good to use to make my own layered cut files? I work in Photoshop for my Etsy shop and am familiar with it, but you can't save files as SVG. I have used it to save and upload each layer individually but that takes forever. I was wondering if there is an easier option that I can create the image as layers, and just upload it to Cricut, having everything there with just one file upload.
Any advice or suggestions?
Thank you very much!

Inkscape is a free program that will create SVG files that can be uploaded. I can't say it's all that intuitive as I'm used to working in AutoCAD but maybe it will be coming from Photoshop. Good luck!

+1 for Inkscape. I use Inkscape as well for making svg files. I think the barebones basic features are fairly user friendly. And for anything you can't find there are lots of posts online on how to do stuff.
