Free pine tree SVG files

Tiered pines and natural pines

There are two families here. The tiered pines (classic, simple, tall, short and the fir with sweeping boughs) are built from stacked shapes with clean edges. They cut fast, weed in one pull and stay readable at 25 mm tall, which makes them right for labels, gift tags and small decals.

The natural pines have a bough at every step up the trunk, each ending in a fine point. Points are no trouble for a blade or a laser, but the gaps between boughs are small, so give these trees room: 70 mm tall or more in vinyl, and full size in wood. In the treeline and the forest each tree is under half the height of the file, so cut those wide, at 200 mm or more.

Building a scene

Every tree stands on the same baseline with its trunk centred, so you can line several up in your software and they will sit level. Mix heights and overlap the boughs a little, then weld. Put the skinny and lodgepole pines between wider trees to break up the rhythm, as a real stand does.

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.
