How to Download a Free SVG Cut File from Cutting for Business

- Choose a board for the pin and click ‘Save’.
- After you’ve pinned the image, return to the blog post and click the download link in the green box.
- The file opens in Dropbox. Click the ‘Download’ button at the top and choose to download the file to your computer or to your own Dropbox account. You don’t need a Dropbox account to download, but if you’d like one click here. Note: If you see a message that states: “Zip files or .studio3 files cannot be previewed” – don’t worry. This simply means that Dropbox isn’t able to show you the contents before you download. Simply proceed with the download.
