Free square SVG files

Using a square as a base, a frame or a tile

Every design here is exactly 100 mm on each side, so any two scaled by the same amount still line up edge to edge. Lay the square outline over the stitched patch for a raised rim, or set the corner brackets round a photo cut to the same size. At full size a square is just under 4 inches, a snug fit on a 4 inch coaster or tile, and at 254 percent it is 10 inches across.

The frames leave a square opening for a monogram, a house number or a photo. Each design page gives the narrowest part at 100 mm: the double frame and the border with diamonds have lines of about 2 mm, which are fine in vinyl and card at any size but should be cut at full size or larger in wood. The rounded square outline, at 7 mm wide, is the one to choose for anything that has to be handled.

Squares with loose pieces

The dashed square, the corner brackets and the square of dots are made of separate pieces, because that is the design. Cut them in adhesive vinyl or iron-on and lift them together with transfer tape so the spacing stays exact. For paper, wood or acrylic choose the stitched patch or the doily frame instead: they give a broken-line or dotted look in a single piece.

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.
