Overview

"Silhouette Web" is an online version of the Silhouette Studio design software, allowing users to create designs for their Silhouette cutting machines directly through a web browser on their computer or mobile device, without needing to download a separate program; essentially, it's a web-based platform to access the core functionalities of Silhouette software from anywhere with an internet connection.

  • Functionality:

    • You can perform most standard design actions like adding text, printing and cutting, modifying shapes, offsetting, sketching, and stippling on Silhouette Web just like you would in the full Silhouette Studio software. 

  • Accessibility:

    • Since it's web-based, you can access Silhouette Web from any device with a web browser, making it convenient for on-the-go design work.

  • Integration with Silhouette machines:

    • Designs created on Silhouette Web can be sent directly to your Silhouette cutting machine for production. It is only compatible with Bluetooth Silhouette Machines. 
Note: If you are experiencing issues on Mac with connecting to your machine this is due to the OS not allowing a connection and there are currently no fixes. We recommend if you are experiencing connection issues to use Silhouette Studio
