What is a die-cut sticker?

A sticker cut to the shape of its design, usually with a thin border round it, rather than to a square or a circle. The cutline is the path the blade follows.

Does this work with Cricut Design Space?

Yes. Upload the PNG as a print-then-cut image, or the cutline SVG as a cut layer. Both open at their real size.

Is my logo uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is processed in your browser and the files are made on your machine. Nothing is sent to us.

What resolution should a sticker be printed at?

300 dpi at the printed size. A sticker 9.5 cm wide needs an image about 1120 pixels wide, and the PNG here is made at exactly that.

A sticker in a swag bag ends up in a drawer. On this site you buy a spot on a named creator’s laptop: they print your file, apply it, and post the photo. You pay only once they approve it.

What the files are for

PNG, 300 dpi: the artwork with its border, transparent outside the cut. The resolution is written into the file, so it opens at its printed size.
Cutline SVG: the path the blade follows, in millimetres, stroked in magenta. Import it as the cut layer.
Print and cut SVG: the artwork with the cutline over it in a layer named CutContour, which is what most print shops and print-and-cut software look for.

How wide should the border be?

Two to three millimetres is the usual die-cut border. It hides the small drift between where the printer prints and where the blade cuts, and it keeps thin parts of a logo from being cut off. Under a millimetre only works on a precise cutter.

Removing a background

The tool clears a plain background, white or any single colour, by flooding in from the edges, so the white inside your letters stays. A photo or a gradient needs a real cut-out first. A PNG with a transparent background, or an SVG, gives the cleanest edge.

The preset sizes are the sticker spots on a 14-inch laptop lid. For other lids, see the laptop sticker size guide.
