Pipeline steps

1 Generate bold graphic

High contrast silhouette or simple layered shapes.

Best tool: Midjourney

Ideogram — Clean logo-like forms
Canva — Start from shapes

Tip: Busy photoreal art vectorizes poorly.

2 Threshold & clean

Convert to pure B/W silhouette.

Best tool: Adobe Photoshop

Photopea — Free threshold
remove.bg — Isolate subject first

Tip: Close gaps before tracing.

3 Vectorize

Trace to SVG; simplify nodes; separate layers by color.

Best tool: Adobe Illustrator

Vectorizer.AI — Fast AI auto-trace
Inkscape — Free Trace Bitmap

Tip: Open in Design Space to verify cut paths.

4 Package & list

ZIP SVG + PNG + human-written quick-start (not AI-written manuals).

Best tool: Canva

Cricut Design Space — Final cut test

Tip: Disclose AI on Etsy.
