Vinyl Cutting

A vinyl cutter is a type of computer-controlled machine. Small vinyl cutters look like computer printers. The computer controls the movement of a sharp blade. This blade is used to cut out shapes and letters from sheets of thin self-adhesive plastic (vinyl).

What is Easy Cut Studio?

Easy Cut Studio is a robust tool for designers who want easy ways to cut TrueType or OpenType fonts. In addition, you can import vector graphics like PLT, DXF, WPC, AI, EIPS, PDF, and SVG to cut and edit them.

Amateurs who wish to cut designs for not so professional tasks can utilize the app’s image tracing function to convert images to vector graphics like SVG and cut them. You can even create new shapes to cut using the robust drawing tools offered with the software.

There is a vast library with a number of preset fonts and shapes that you will find useful for professional projects.On top of that, you can blend in images and letters as well as apply styles like Blackout and Shodows to add more style to your design
