The latest update to my Silhouette Studio file formats cheat sheet is here. Click the image below for a downloadable PDF.
Update 8/21/17-Business Edition 4.1 or later can now save to SVG, PDF or high( resolution JPG. Silhouette store images will not export.
Update 5/11/16 – One of my valued readers, Karina, let me know that .emf files are also supported, so I’ve updated the chart! Be sure you always link back to this post to be sure you have the most current version. Thanks, Karina for this great inside info!
If you don’t understand vectors vs bitmaps then you will find diecutting harder than it needs to be. I explain what you need to know in Part 1 of Tracing without Tears.

Thanks for updating this.
Thank you Kay – with the changes and additions to the software it is SO nice to have an updated cheat sheet. I print, laminate and keep by machine for the day I am in big hurry and THE BRAIN FREEZE occurs! 🙂

Thank you Kay. I learn so much from the information that you share!
Thanks so much for this handy resource.:)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I am new to the whole Silhouette game so this is awesome.
Thanks soo much for this reference. I have windows and do not have DE and .psd is not supported, perhaps this is an oversight?
Hi Lilly, Did you try to drag a PSD into Silh Studio or open it with “all files” selected? It has never appeared on the list of supported file types or in the pull down, but worked in the last version we tested. We haven’t verified the last couple of versions for this specific thing, however, so it could have been removed.
Hi Kay, thanks for such an easy to follow video. I have a question about something different and hope you can help. I need to send a design that I created in Silhouette to a local printer who will then print my design on fabric for me. (I’m making customized pillows) Is there a way to save my design in something other than a silhouette file? They did download silhouette but still had trouble converting it to something that their machine can read. Any help would be appreciated.
Sure. I have a post on that here. https://cleversomeday.com/ssprintables
Hi Kay, I love your blog.
Do you know how to solve an issue on a mac? When printing a silh design via SS DE with the app preview on the mac I always get the lines in the background even when lines for print and cut are disabled. I heard it does not happen with adobe’s reader. But I cannot change this since preview is the default.
Yes I have a tutorial on this here cleversomeday.com/ssprintables
I found your video and posted mor details there.
