Make Custom Stickers with Cricut from Any Photo (Step-by-Step)

Turn Any Photo Into Custom Stickers with Your Cricut

Making custom stickers with your Cricut is one of the most fun and profitable crafting projects you can do. Whether you're creating stickers for your planner, laptop, water bottle, or selling them on Etsy — the process starts with getting a clean SVG cut file.

What You Need

The Problem: Photos Aren't Cut Files

Your Cricut can't cut around a PNG or JPG photo. It needs vector cut lines — an SVG file that tells the blade exactly where to cut. Traditionally, you'd have to manually trace in Illustrator or Inkscape for 15-60 minutes. That's a lot of work for a sticker.

The Easy Way: AI-Powered Photo to SVG

With VectoSolve, you can convert any photo to a cut-ready SVG in seconds:

Step-by-Step: Photo to Cricut Sticker

#### Step 1: Prepare Your Image Start with a clear image — a photo, hand-drawn design, clip art, or logo. Higher contrast images convert better.

#### Step 2: Convert to SVG Go to VectoSolve and upload your image. The AI removes the background, traces clean outlines, and optimizes paths. Your first conversion is free.

#### Step 3: Import into Cricut Design Space Upload your SVG in Design Space. It imports as a Cut Image automatically.

#### Step 4: Print Then Cut Use Cricut's Print Then Cut feature: flatten your design, print on sticker paper, then let the Cricut cut around it.

#### Step 5: Peel and Enjoy! You now have professional custom stickers from any photo.
