Free sunglasses SVG files

Putting sunglasses on something

Most people who look for a sunglasses file want to put the pair on a face that is already there: a pumpkin, a sun, a pineapple, a dog, a baby’s name. That is why every pair here is drawn straight from the front, level, with the lenses solid and the bridge in the exact middle. Scale the pair until the lenses cover the eyes, and for an animal seen from the side, shear or turn it a few degrees in your software.

Every file is 100 mm wide. The lenses are about 42 mm across on most pairs, and the whole thing is roughly a third as tall as it is wide.

Glare, tint and what shows through

The stripes of glare, the palm trees, the stars and the fading slots are all holes in a dark lens, so the surface behind becomes the bright part. On a white shirt black sunglasses get white glare. For a mirrored look, put holographic or metallic vinyl under the whole pair, or cut the layered pair and choose your own lens colour. The aviators have the slimmest parts, two slim bridge bars, so they are the ones not to cut small.

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.
