Whether you’re a professional designer or your artistic talent is limited to stick figures, the Design Store helps to save valuable time. Our team of talented artists takes care of the design work for you, so you get top-quality designs, fonts, and patterns that are all ready for your next project. With over 300,000 designs, there is something for everyone.
Today, we will talk about the design types, license types, and artists of the Design Store!
Design Types
Regular Cut: The most common type of design is a Regular Cut file. This is a flat design that can be cut from your chosen material. These can be single-layered or multilayered designs. With multilayered designs, you cut different parts of the design (perhaps in different colors of material) and assemble as needed.
Our Regular Cut files come as a .studio file compatible with the Silhouette Studio software, with many artists offering optional SVG versions.
Print & Cut: Print & Cut is a type of file that uses your personal printer to print designs that can then be cut out using your electronic cutting machine.
Our Print & Cut files come as a .studio file compatible with the Silhouette Studio software, with many artists offering optional SVG versions.
3D Creations: 3D files allow you to create a 3D object from two dimensional material (like paper or cardstock). 3D cut files may require some assembly depending on the complexity of the design.
Our 3D files come as a .studio file compatible with the Silhouette Studio software, with many artists offering optional SVG versions.
Fonts: Font files can be used like other fonts on your computer—typically to type out words or phrases. Dingbat fonts replace the standard characters with simple images or phrases. While our fonts will work in most other software programs, they can be guaranteed to work only in Silhouette Studio®.
Our font files come as .otf or .tff files.
Printable Patterns: A printable pattern is not intended to be cut. Instead, it can be used to fill your favorite cuttable shapes with patterns to create customized Print & Cut images in Silhouette Studio®.
Our printable patterns come as .jpg or .png files.
Sketch Designs: Sketch designs are intended to be used with Silhouette sketch pens. Replace the blade of the Silhouette with a sketch pen and watch your Silhouette draw designs instead of cutting them.
Our sketch designs come as a .studio file compatible with the Silhouette Studio software, with many artists offering optional SVG versions.
Rhinestone Designs: Rhinestone designs are intended to be used with rhinestones. You would first cut the design out in the Silhouette brand of rhinestone template material to add rhinestones to your projects.
Our rhinestone designs come as a .studio file compatible with the Silhouette Studio software, with many artists offering optional SVG versions.
Other: Though uncommon, you may discover other design types within the Store. Notably, there are instructional PDFs and a growing number of files to be used with a 3D printer.
License Types
Personal Use: All designs in the Silhouette Design Store are offered for personal use. Once you purchase a design, you can use it as often as you would like for noncommercial purposes.
Commercial Use: Most of our artists offer an optional Commercial Use License for their designs. Commercial use is defined as using the digital design in any physical project, product, artwork, etc. that is intended for resale or commercial use. Under no circumstances are you allowed to resell or distribute the files associated with digital designs offered by Silhouette.
You can sort for Commercial Use designs using the filter on the search results page.
