4. Unzip your file
The next step is to unzip the folder you just downloaded. Here's how:
For Mac users:
Simply double click the .zip file and it will automatically extract all the folders.
For Windows users:
- Right-click the zipped folder saved to your computer.
- Choose "Extract All..." (an extraction wizard will begin).
- Click [Next >].
- Click [Browse...] and navigate to where you would like to save the files.
- Click [Next >].
- Click [Finish].
5. Locate the design you want to make
Once you unzip the file, you will see a selection of folders containing everything you need for each project.
For Cricut, Brother Scan n Cut and most laser machines:
find the SVG file for the design you want to make.
For SILHOUETTE users:
find the .studio3 file which loads all the layers correctly in Silhouette Studio Designer, Designer Plus and Business Edition.
This is the file you will upload to your design software.
6. Upload your project into your design software.
We have created two videos to help you with this process depending on whether you are using Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio. See links below.
