Get Started NowFrequently Asked Questions
How does color separation work?
Our AI analyzes your image, identifies each distinct color region, and creates a separate SVG layer for each color. Each layer contains only the paths for that specific color, making it ready for screen printing, vinyl cutting, or embroidery.
Can I use this for screen printing?
Yes! Each color layer is output as a separate SVG file suitable for creating film positives. The layers have clean, solid paths without anti-aliasing artifacts — exactly what screen printers need.
How many colors can it separate?
Our tool can separate designs with up to 12+ distinct colors. For screen printing, we recommend keeping designs to 6 or fewer colors for practical production. The AI will merge similar colors if needed.
Does this work for multi-layer vinyl?
Absolutely! Cut each color layer from different colored vinyl and layer them together. The SVG layers are aligned so they register perfectly when stacked.
Can I use separated layers for embroidery?
Yes. Color-separated SVG layers provide a clean reference for embroidery digitizing. Each layer maps to a thread color, making the digitizing process faster and more accurate.

Color Separation for Screen Printing SVG
Color separation for screen printing converts a multi-color design into individual single-color layers, each representing one screen in the printing process. Our tool automatically separates your image into spot colors — each SVG layer contains only the paths for one color, ready to be printed as a film positive. This eliminates hours of manual separation work in Illustrator or Photoshop and produces cleaner results for simple to moderately complex designs.
How to Separate SVG Colors for Vinyl Cutting
To separate SVG colors for vinyl cutting, upload your design and our AI splits it into individual layers by color. Cut each layer from the matching colored vinyl using your Cricut, Silhouette, or other vinyl cutter. The layers are precisely aligned so they register perfectly when layered on your substrate. This technique is essential for multi-color HTV (heat transfer vinyl) projects like custom t-shirts, where each color must be cut and pressed separately.
