First, it depends on the picture.  If you can convert (called tracing) the jpg or gif file to a vector format like eps then yes, you can cut pictures from the internet.  But you can not cut jpg and gif files, they must be converted to a vector format.

If you are cuting all the way through the paper for a stencil, then you will need some sort of backing to keep from damaging the cutting strip on the plotter.

I use Corel x3 when tracing the part it looks nothing like the original.it changes the curves to straight  edeges
