Mandelbrot set fractal SVG
Which one? SVG for Cricut and lasers, DXF for the free Silhouette Studio, PNG to print.
Free for personal and commercial use, no sign-up. What you can do with it.
Every point c for which z squared plus c, repeated from zero, never runs away: the heart, the disc and their chain of buds. Tested every 0.2 mm and smoothed, so the hair-thin threads and far islands are left out.

How fine is it at your size?
Scaling a design scales its finest detail too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.
| Size, width × height | Narrowest part | Cut length | Fit on a 12 in sheet | Rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 0.98 in (25 × 25 mm) | 1.1 mm | 113 mm | 100 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 2 × 1.96 in (51 × 50 mm) | 2.3 mm | 226 mm | 25 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 3 × 2.94 in (76 × 75 mm) | 3.4 mm | 338 mm | 9 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 4 × 3.92 in (102 × 100 mm) | 4.6 mm | 451 mm | 4 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 6 × 5.89 in (152 × 150 mm) | 6.9 mm | 677 mm | 2 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 8 × 7.85 in (203 × 199 mm) | 9.1 mm | 902 mm | 1 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 12 × 11.77 in (305 × 299 mm) | 14 mm | 1,353 mm | 1 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
The narrowest part is the finest detail in the pattern. Below about half a millimetre it is too small to cut and may fill in when printed. How to open the file in Cricut, Silhouette and laser software.
