Like many crafters working with vinyl and graphic projects, I struggled to understand how to create my own SVG files to upload to databases like Cricut Design Space and Word platforms. I found myself endlessly scrolling Pinterest for instructions or browsing seller websites to pay for designs I like; however, I've recently discovered that creating SVG files is far easier than I had ever thought possible. If you are using a computer, countless platforms like that of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator provide tools for enhanced SVG creation; however, I wanted a method that would work on other platforms, as I primarily use my phone. So, I've compiled some vinyl friendly apps and methods to make SVG a breeze. I want to note that if you are utilizing artwork or looking to create detailed digital art, desktop might be the best solution.
Also, photo-converting can be done through Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop on desktop, as well.
Here is my list for apps for SVG creation on Android:

Adobe Spark Post for Android:
*This app allows you to create flyers, SVG, custom designs, and more in an easy, user-friendly style that navigates you through the process.
*A paid membership option does exist; however, the free database is huge!

Canva
Canva is another app similar to Adobe Spark Post. It allows you to create a variety of material for your crafting business or projects.
It also has a paid membership, but tons of free content as well. Currently, Canva has a two-week trial for Android users.

FX Stencil
FX Stencil is geared more toward those who draw images with a stylus, but it can also be used to cut images and outline them into stencils. The stencils can be used as SVG files, though a converter is necessary to save as SVG.
This week's list is short, but I am always looking for more ways to create SVG easily. Please let me know if you have app suggestions in the comments. Thank you for reading and keep crafting!
