Free Welcome SVG files

Using “Welcome”

The front-door word: doormats, porch boards, round door hangers and entrance signs. A tall porch board takes the letters stacked one above another, which the block capitals allow: ungroup them and stack. For a doormat, paint through the stencil plate.

Which version cuts most easily

Lettering is many small pieces, and the count differs by typeface. The stencil plate is always a single piece. The script versions weld the letters of each word together, leaving only dots and separate words loose. The block capitals and slab versions are one piece per letter, with thick strokes that weed easily. Each design’s page lists its piece count and its narrowest part at seven sizes.

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.
