Terms of use

Files you make with Cutline are yours, to sell or give away as you like. The rest of this page is the boring half of that sentence.

Last updated 8 November 2026

Your files are yours

Every SVG, PNG, or snippet of code Cutline produces belongs to you. You may use it personally or commercially, sell it, bundle it, cut it on vinyl, put it on shirts by the thousand, and resell those — no royalty, no attribution, no licence to buy, no limit on volume. We claim no interest in your output.

This holds for shapes taken from the Library tab. Those are redrawn from Bootstrap Icons under the MIT licence, which expressly permits commercial use and resale. See THIRD-PARTY.md.

It holds for lettering too. The typefaces in the Text tab are licensed under the SIL Open Font Licence or Apache 2.0, both of which permit embedding glyph outlines in a derived work. Tracing letters to a cut path makes a new work; you are not redistributing a font file.

What you bring is your responsibility

Cutline traces whatever you give it. It has no idea whether you own it, and it does not check.

Converting someone else's artwork does not make it yours. A character, logo, team mark, album cover, photograph, or commercial illustration is still protected after it has been turned into an SVG, and selling cut files of it is infringement whatever tool drew the paths. You are solely responsible for holding the rights to anything you upload and for the legality of what you make and sell from it. If you are unsure, do not sell it.

The software

You may use Cutline for its purpose, free or on whatever paid plan you hold, and you may keep a local copy for your own offline use. You may not republish, rehost, resell, or redistribute the software itself, or offer it or a derivative as your own product or service. See LICENSE for the full terms. Those restrictions apply to the program; they never apply to the files you make with it.

No warranty

Cutline is provided as is. It is a geometry tool, and geometry tools are wrong sometimes. The cut-readiness report is a set of checks against the rules Design Space is known to care about — it is a well-informed opinion, not a guarantee, and it cannot promise that a given file will open, import, or cut the way you expect on your machine, with your software version, on your material.

Check the preview, then cut a test piece before you cut thirty. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for wasted vinyl, ruined blanks, a missed market, lost sales, a damaged mat or machine, lost work, or any other loss arising from using this tool. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you have paid for Cutline in the preceding twelve months.

Not affiliated with Cricut

Cutline is an independent tool. It is not made by, endorsed by, affiliated with, or connected to Cricut, Inc., Silhouette America, Brother, or any other machine maker. Cricut®, Design Space®, and Silhouette® are trademarks of their respective owners, used here only to say truthfully which software Cutline's output is built to satisfy.

Payment, if you are on a paid plan

Prices are shown before you pay and are in US dollars unless stated otherwise. A subscription renews until you cancel, and you can cancel at any time to stop the next renewal. If Cutline does not do what you expected, write within thirty days of paying and you will get your money back without an argument.

Changes and ending

These terms may be updated; the date at the top will change and the substance of the change will be described rather than quietly folded in. Continuing to use Cutline after a change means accepting it. You may stop using Cutline at any time. We may withdraw the service, with notice to anyone on a paid plan and a refund of unused time.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing here removes a consumer right you hold under the law where you live that cannot be waived by agreement.
