Rhinestone SVG maker
A rhinestone SVG is not a picture of dots. It is one circle per stone, written in millimetres, so your cutter cuts holes at the size your stones actually are. That is what this tool exports.
Type a name or drop an image. True-size SVG and a printable PDF, no account.
Why “convert image to SVG” tools produce the wrong file
Generic image-to-SVG converters trace outlines. You end up with a single path that looks like a dotted pattern but contains no hole geometry — an outline of the artwork, not a template for stones.
A usable rhinestone SVG has to carry:
- One circle per stone, each an independent vector shape
- A real diameter — 3 mm is 3 mm, not a fraction of the viewBox
- Explicit millimetre units on the root element, so an importer cannot guess
- Even spacing — a square grid, or offset rows for a honeycomb packing
Import checklist
- Import the SVG at 100% / original size. If your app offers “fit to page”, refuse it.
- Measure the design width on screen against the number the tool reported.
- Check one hole: zoom in and confirm the diameter matches your stone.
- Cut a calibration strip first — the tool exports one with three diameters.
- Only then cut the template material.
SVG, PDF or DXF?
| Format | Use it when | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SVG | Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio (Designer Edition for SVG), most vector cutters | Exported with millimetre dimensions and one circle per stone |
| Tiled PDF | You are printing on Letter or A4 and hand-punching, or using a printed guide | Pages overlap by 5 mm; each page carries a 25.4 mm calibration line |
| DXF | Some industrial cutters and older vinyl software | Not exported yet — use the SVG where you can |
What to check when the cut looks wrong
- Holes too small: the importer scaled the file. Re-import and check the width against the reported millimetres.
- Holes overlap: the gap between holes is smaller than the blade kerf. Increase the gap slightly.
- Design drifts off the edge: the material moved, not the file — re-cut with the material taped down.
- Stones fall through: the hole is bigger than the stone. Measure the stone and reduce the diameter by 0.1–0.2 mm.
Questions
Is the SVG one shape per stone?
Yes. Every hole is an independent circle element with a real radius in millimetres, not a single traced path.
Do you export DXF?
Not yet. The SVG imports into Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio and most vector cutters; DXF is on the list but not available today.
Can I edit the SVG afterwards?
Yes — it is a plain SVG file. Because each stone is its own circle you can delete, recolour or regroup stones in any vector editor.
