1clo1 4 Posted March 17, 2021 thanks, Whats a .AI file and how do i open it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted March 17, 2021 .ai = Adobe Illustrator. You can open it with Illustrator, or Inkscape, or Corel Draw, etc. Your cutting software should be able to open it. If it can't then open it in Inkscape and save it as a vector format that your cutting software can open. You should also get to know the differences between a raster file and a vector file, because cutters will only cut vector files. If you're not sure what those are, Google it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If File>>> Open doesn't show the file type in these, try File>>> Import or AFile>>> New>>> Import Both ai and pdf files I did are the vector files. mean, ready to cut silhouettes. Morever, an advantage of vector file is you can scale it to any bigger size without losing the pixels. The print you end up will have a crisp sharp edge. I also included three red dots apart from the flag on to the file. they are the location marks in case you wish to transfer all the layers on to a single backing paper Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
