Names and text in your own uploaded fonts
Shapes, ribbons, shields and certificate borders
Automatic offset layers with a "pop" colour layer
Exports clean, Cricut-ready SVG files

Best for: cake toppers, name plaques, kids' certificates and card makers.

One-click AI background removal
Image-to-SVG tracing with adjustable detail
Clean paths ready for cutting or printing
Pairs with Layer Cut Studio for layered designs

Best for: turning logos, pet photos and kids' drawings into cut files.

Fast rendering; stop and download any time

From idea to finished piece

The craft tools are built to work together. Here's a typical layered topper start to finish.

Start with an image

A logo, photo or drawing. Trace Studio removes the background and vectorises it.

Build the layers

Bring it into Layer Cut Studio, add a name or border and let it generate the stack.

Cut

Export the SVG straight into Cricut Design Space, one colour of card per layer.

Stack & pop

Glue or foam-pad the layers together for real depth, with your pop colour on top.

Free to use

No sign-up, no watermark. Open a tool and start making.

Your files stay yours

Designs are built in your browser. Images are only sent to the server where a tool needs it, such as background removal.

Made by a maker

Built alongside a working dye-sublimation print shop, so every tool solves a real job.
