Free avocado SVG files

Skin, flesh and stone in one colour

A cut avocado has three parts, and a single-colour file has to suggest all of them. In these designs the skin is the strip between the outline and a cut line about 5 mm inside it. That line is about 2 mm wide and is broken by four bridges, each about 7 mm across, which stop the flesh from falling out of the rim. The stone is a plain round hole about 32 mm across when the fruit is 100 mm tall, so whatever you put behind it becomes the stone.

The shape itself is sturdy. The narrowest part of the fruit is the neck, about 38 mm across, so an avocado cuts well in vinyl, card, felt and wood at almost any size. Below about 40 mm tall the skin line gets hard to weed: use the avocado silhouette, which has only the stone to lift out.

Greens that work

For a two-colour avocado, cut the half in a yellow green and lay it on dark brown, which shows through the stone. Cut the silhouette a few millimetres larger in dark green and put it behind for the skin. The layered avocado does all of this as five pieces, from the dark skin to the shine on the stone.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
