Developer decodes Silhouette .studio3 format to export cut paths as SVG
Silhouette cutter software's free edition saves designs only as .studio3 files, and SVG export requires a paid version. A developer reverse engineered the format without running the software, building a zero-dependency JavaScript library, command-line tool, and browser-based converter called studio3svg. The decoded outlines were checked against the intended layouts of an MIT card-template generator and against preview images embedded in the files, with 224 of 225 comparable files matching. Colours, layers, raster images, and effect output remain unsupported, and the project documents coverage and confidence levels in a public specification.
