The Trace Bitmap feature copies, or traces an image and converts it into a cleaner, more usable SVG cut file. You can use this feature for so many different kinds of projects! The Trace Bitmap feature isn’t available in Design Space, and is well worth learning about. If you’ve used Design Space (or other design software), then you will already be familiar with many of the features in Inkscape, they just have different names! We’re focusing on the Trace Bitmap feature in this post. It offers better customization and design options when it comes to preparing SVGs for Cricut. Inkscape is a free design software that has far more features than Cricut Design Space. These files are usually JPEG, so we need to convert it into an SVG to use with the Cricut Maker, and we’re using Inkscape! FYI there’s really no difference between a JPEG and a JPG file, so don’t stress and know that this method works for both! We found and downloaded a Peppa Pig coloring page that was perfect for this coloring shirt project.
You could, if you wanted to, install the newer version of Inkscape using Flatpaks or by adding the Inkscape PPA to your source list but that required a few extra steps.1.6 DIY Peppa Pig Shirts Convert JPEG To SVG In Inkscape Yes, sudo apt install inkscape would install the program on a Linux-capable Chromebook but because Chrome OS was using Debian Stretch and the Inkscape version in the Stretch repository was always a few releases behind. Until recently, getting the newest version of Inkscape on Chrome OS required a little more than just the simple apt install command we commonly use to install Linux applications. While we no longer use Inkscape, it is still an incredible vector editor and we recommend it for users who aren’t ready to make the jump to the pro version of Gravit that runs you $49.99/year. With the advent of the Crostini Project and Linux apps support, that has changed and for many, installing Inkscape free software on a Chromebook has been a game-changer for productivity.
Problem was, using Inkscape on Chrome OS in the past required Crouton and the unofficial path to dual-booting Linux on your Chromebook. We use Gravit Designer on the daily as our go-to vector editing and design tool but for a long time, Inkscape was always in the old tool bag.
