Are Cutout Designer templates really free?

Yes. The free Tinker plan lets you create up to 5 designs per month and download print-ready PDFs in all 8 standard sizes. Paid plans start at $4.99 per month for unlimited designs and AI image tools.

What template sizes are available?

Cutout Designer offers 8 standard templates: 1.25 inch, 1.5 inch, 2.25 inch, and 3 inch circles, 1 inch, 1.5 inch, and 2 inch squares, plus a 2.25 inch heart shape. Paid users can also create custom sizes to match any equipment.

Which template size should I choose?

The 2.25 inch circle is the most popular size for campaigns, merch, and events. It works with the widest variety of equipment and has the cheapest replacement parts. Pick 1.25 inch for mini promo designs, 3 inch for bold statement pieces, or the heart shape for weddings and valentines.

Do Cutout Designer templates include bleed?

Yes. Every template has automatic proportional bleed at 5% of the design diameter. The bleed ring shows in real time as you position your image, so you can see exactly what will print and what wraps around the edge of the finished cutout.

What file format do the templates download as?

All plans download print-ready PDFs with cut guides and bleed marks. The PDFs work directly with Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, or any printer.

Can I make custom-sized templates?

Yes. Paid plans (Maker and Producer) support custom sizes and shapes beyond the 8 standard templates. You can enter any diameter in inches or millimeters, and Cutout Designer handles the bleed and page layout automatically.
