Free Statue of Liberty SVG files

Free Statue of Liberty SVG files: the whole monument on its pedestal, a solid silhouette, the torch, the crown with its seven rays, the head and shoulders, the tablet with its date, the statue against a skyline, a medal, a badge and a crown frame for a monogram.

12 designs. Free for personal and commercial use, no sign-up. What you can do with them.

What is on the statue, and what is on these files

The statue was a gift from the people of France, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi with an iron frame by Gustave Eiffel, and dedicated in New York Harbor on 28 October 1886. Her crown has 7 rays and 25 windows, her right hand holds the torch, and the tablet on her left arm is cut with JULY IV MDCCLXXVI, the date of the Declaration of Independence. She is made of thin copper sheet, which weathered from brown to green in her first decades. The flame of the torch has been covered in gold leaf since the restoration of 1986.

These drawings keep to that. The rays are always seven and the tablet carries the real date. The crown drawn from the front shows 9 of its windows, because the rest go round the back of the head. The towers in the skyline design are plain blocks, not portraits of real buildings.

Cutting a tall, thin figure

The whole statue is a narrow shape: at 100 mm tall the figure is about 30 mm wide, the raised arm is 4 to 5 mm thick and the rays of the crown are small spikes. In vinyl it is happy from 120 mm tall. For wood or acrylic use the silhouette at 150 mm or more, where the arm is about 7 mm thick. The torch, the crown and the head are drawn large for the jobs where the whole figure would be too fine: cake toppers, shirt pockets and ornaments.

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.

Questions

Is the Statue of Liberty free to use on things I sell?

The statue itself was finished in 1886 and is in the public domain, so its likeness is free to draw and to use. These drawings are our own and come with the licence on the main SVG page. Later works based on the statue, such as particular photographs, logos and replicas, can have their own rights.

What does the tablet say?

It reads JULY IV MDCCLXXVI: the fourth of July 1776 in Roman numerals, the date of the American Declaration of Independence. The tablet file sets those letters in tall capitals and bridges the closed ones, so it cuts as one piece.

What colour should I cut her in?

Green is what people know: the copper has been a pale blue-green since the early twentieth century, and the layered file uses it with a stone pedestal and a gold flame. For a single colour, black or dark navy on a light ground reads best, and gold card suits the crown and the torch.
