# Shape SVG files, silhouettes and icons Explore themed shapes and silhouettes to use on their own or combine with text. Choose a collection, open its SVG artwork in CricutCraft Studio, and set the size for your project. Use simple shapes as backgrounds for labels, card fronts and signs, or combine several elements into a larger composition. Keep enough space around lettering so that the finished piece remains readable when it is cut or printed at a small size. For a cutting project, inspect the outline and any interior details at the finished size. Export SVG, import it into your machine software and confirm which parts should be cut. For printed artwork, export PNG and prepare the final page layout in your printing software. ## Collections - [American Flag](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/american-flag): 50 designs - [Automobile](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/automobile): 50 designs - [Camping](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/camping): 50 designs - [Dad](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/dad): 50 designs - [Education](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/education): 50 designs - [Snowflake](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/snowflake): 50 designs - [Summer](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/summer): 50 designs - [Sunflower](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/sunflower): 50 designs - [Transportation](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/transportation): 50 designs - [Wedding](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/wedding): 50 designs - [Rainbow](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/rainbow): 50 designs - [School](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/school): 50 designs - [Sea](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/sea): 50 designs - [Plants](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/plants): 50 designs - [Pumpkin Face](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/pumpkin-face): 50 designs - [Crown](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/crown): 50 designs - [Dinosaur](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/dinosaur): 50 designs - [Celebrations](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/celebrations): 50 designs - [Construction](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/construction): 50 designs - [Shoes](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/shoes): 50 designs - [Spider](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/spider): 25 designs - [Sports](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/sports): 25 designs - [Game](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/game): 25 designs - [Architecture](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/architecture): 25 designs - [Mandala](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/mandala): 25 designs - [Cactus](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/cactus): 25 designs - [Flowers](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/flowers): 25 designs - [Skeleton](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/skeleton): 25 designs - [Fruit](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/fruit): 25 designs - [Cat](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/cat): 25 designs - [Bear](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/bear): 25 designs - [Baby](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/baby): 25 designs - [Butterfly](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/butterfly): 25 designs - [Animal](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/animal): 25 designs - [Emoji](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/designs/shapes/emoji): 25 designs ## Questions ### What can I make with shape SVG files? Vinyl decals, paper crafts, card layers, stencils and backgrounds for your own designs. Simple shapes are also useful building blocks for layered projects. ### How do I combine a shape with text? Place the text over the shape, then weld it to join them into one cut, or slice to cut the text out of the shape. Both work in CricutCraft Studio before you export. ### Are any of the shape designs free? Yes, the first designs in every collection are free on every plan, including the free plan. The rest of the library needs a paid plan. ## Tutorials - [Create and export a multi-layer SVG](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/guides/how-to-create-multi-layer-svg): Keep vector pieces separate, understand operation groups and inspect the imported cut layers. - [How to upload SVG to Cricut Design Space](https://www.cricutcraft.com/md/guides/how-to-upload-svg-to-cricut-design-space): Move your finished SVG into the software that controls your cutting machine. --- Canonical page: https://www.cricutcraft.com/designs/shapes CricutCraft Studio is independent software and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Cricut, Silhouette America, Brother, Glowforge or xTool.
