Use this free checker before you sell or cut an SVG file. It scans the file in your browser for the items Cricut’s Help Center says can cause “unsupported items” in Design Space, and checks Etsy’s 20 MB file limit.
SVG Cut File Checker
Check an SVG file for the things Cricut’s Help Center says can cause “unsupported items” in Design Space: pattern fills, clipping paths, editable text, linked images, and embedded non-vector images. It also checks Etsy’s 20 MB file limit. Your file is read in your browser and never uploaded.
Checks are based on Cricut Help guidance on unsupported SVG items and Etsy’s digital file rules (checked October 2026). Always test-upload your file in Cricut Design Space before selling. Remember: .svg is not on Etsy’s upload list, so put it in a .zip.
How to Fix Common SVG Problems
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Editable text | Convert text to outlines |
| Clipping paths | Flatten into single shapes |
| Pattern fills | Use solid colors |
| Linked images | Embed or remove them |
| Embedded raster images | Trace them into vectors or remove them |

SVG Cut File Checker FAQ
Why does Cricut say my SVG has unsupported items?
Cricut’s Help Center says this can happen when a file contains pattern fills, clipping paths, editable text, linked images, or embedded non-vector images.
Can I upload an SVG directly to Etsy?
.svg is not on Etsy’s list of supported upload types. Sellers put SVG files in a .zip file, which Etsy supports.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The checker reads your file in your browser only.
