Importing an image into Silhouette Cameo is a simple process that can be done in minutes. With the right software, even novice users can quickly import images and begin creating their own projects. Here’s how to do it:

Step 4: Save your project file in SVG format. When you’re finished editing your project, save it as an SVG file so that Silhouette Cameo can recognize it.
