    Notes on this file

      What comes across, and what doesn’t

      Cutpeek reads the outlines Silhouette Studio stores and writes them out unchanged. Where a file holds something it can’t convert, it tells you instead of quietly dropping it.

      • Cut linesEvery outline, with the exact curves Silhouette stored.
      • SizesPage size and design size in millimetres and inches.
      • ColoursLine colours and solid fills from Studio 5 files.
      • LayersLayer names, with shapes grouped by layer.
      • TextLetters come across as cuttable outlines.
      • PicturesPrint-and-cut pictures are left out, and the notes say so.
      • Line stylesLine thickness and dashes aren’t read yet.
      • EffectsPuncher, emboss and offset results aren’t stored in the file.
      • Older filesThe older “silhouette04” format isn’t supported yet.
      • Protected filesEncrypted files, such as some Design Store downloads, are refused.

      Three steps, no upload

      1. 1

        Open

        Choose or drop a .studio3 file. Your browser reads it from your disk; it is never sent anywhere.

      2. 2

        Check

        See every cut line on a mat grid at true scale, with the page size, object count and layers.

      3. 3

        Save

        Download an SVG in the style your software wants, or a DXF with the unlock.

      DXF export and batch conversion

      Viewing and SVG export are free. For people who convert a lot, or cut with lasers and CAD, a single payment adds:

      • DXF export in millimetres or inches, one DXF layer per Silhouette layer, for laser, CAD and older cutters.
      • Batch conversion: choose many .studio3 files and download one ZIP of SVGs or DXFs. A file that can't be read is listed with the reason; the rest still convert.
      • No account, no subscription. Files still never leave your computer.

      Print-and-cut registration marks aren't included: Cutpeek can't yet read where Silhouette stores them, so it won't pretend to.
