There's really not much to show. If you have Designer Edition, bring it in like any other SVG. If you have basic edition, use jpg and then trace it with the default settings.
You can choose draw, but would only get an outline, not a nice sketched look like in the boot video. Another option is to use a line fill but for that you need 3rd party software like Inkscape.
Hi there! Excelent tutorial. Wondering if I could open this SVG saved files on my Mac illustrator. I know I can only operate the app through my iPhone, but I’d love to do some editing on the file through my laptop illustrator. Read you could download the files through iTunes before... not anymore with the updates. Can I download this svg files somehow in my computer or no way!?
Sure. At about the 3 minute mark in the video you will see the process. I use DropBox, but notice that AdobeCC is also an option. There also seems to be an option to save as .ai so should be no problem getting these files to Adobe Illustrator.
I know this is an old video but I just saw it. I have tried to find and download this software. It appears that it is only available on iphones. Am I correct. Please help me.
When I press the open in on the right side. a screen comes up and says I have to pay 2.99. I do not know if they r good. Do you know if it’s good and do they offer you more to do on the app. I don’t wanna waste my money if it’s not gonna work right. Tell me what you think please thank you very much for your help
Hi there! Love the tutorial. Just curious what app you purchased. It looks like Imaengine Vector has a "school" option upgrade for $2.99, is that equivalent to what you upgraded to? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! An issue I have come across is when saving as a PNG to my camera roll and then uploading to DS - even though I have hidden the background (made transparent) it does not upload to DS as transparent (both on ipad and iphone.) Any idea what I’m doing wrong? I *think* I have followed the video correctly... thank you : )
@@cleversomeday I’m guessing uploading SVGs to the DS app wasn’t always a thing? Lol newbie here... thank you soo much for the reply & for sharing your tutorials!
When I save my svg to Dropbox or iZip and open it with Design Space I get a box around it and lines in the svg file. They don’t show in my saved svg file but they come up in my DS. I have tried all day literally to get it to not do this.
hmmm. I've not had this happen, but the box could be the extra layer if you didn't remove it so check the layers panel for that. Extra lines would be a bigger issue. I have had it happen from other SVGs on my computer and don't know a fix. Your best bet would be to just use the transparent PNG instead. (as I show in the video anyway since SVGs couldn't be uploaded to the DS app yet)
If the lines are the outlines of the pieces then that is normal as DS always outlines cuttable shapes. The only way to get rid of them is to temporarily flatten or set to print. You are still probably going to have to take it into Inkscape or AI so you can combine color layers.
CleverSomeday they are not. One is a box around the entire design. The others are broken lines around the outline of the design. A centimeter or two outside. Wish I could upload a picture so you can see it.
Its best to delete the background before you transfer to design space (imaengine has an eraser tool) or on the way in with the eraser tool in DS. Once its in DS you could slice or hide contour but that's much harder.
CleverSomeday Yes, you did ask, and I gave permission. I didn’t realize you were using it for a tutorial. Not complaining, just surprised. You did a great job and I appreciated your help. I have the app now and used your tutorial to help me figure it out.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Your step by step instructions are the absolute best!❤️
This was the best explanation of Imaengine! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! This is a No brainer for us slower learners
Just stopping by to say happy Sunday newbie
Would you please do a video on how to use the Editor?
Will you show how to delete the background on the first picture you used? I believe you mentioned it in the video.
Can you show the new upgraded version on how to use it please ? The new Vector Q is so confusing and can’t figure it out on how to add lines and stuff
As usual fantastic tutorial!
Thank you so much this helped me a lot!❤️
Fantastic tutorial, Kay! Thank you!
Thank you Kay! As usual, great tutorial!
Great video!!
Will you be showing how to set up the image in Silhouette Studio?
There's really not much to show. If you have Designer Edition, bring it in like any other SVG. If you have basic edition, use jpg and then trace it with the default settings.
oh I figured it out very easily:)) I LOVE this!!! Thank You for sharing your knowledge!!
Can you choose draw instead of cut? Thank you. I am not creative, but I would love to draw with my cricut maker. I loved your boot drawing video?
You can choose draw, but would only get an outline, not a nice sketched look like in the boot video. Another option is to use a line fill but for that you need 3rd party software like Inkscape.
Great video! easy to understand (:
Great tutorial!!! Thank you for sharing!! :)

yes, as stated above, Imaengine is an iOS app, meaning it is only for iPhone or iPad

Do you know if it’s good and do they offer you more to do on the app. I don’t wanna waste my money if it’s not gonna work right. Tell me what you think please thank you very much for your help
I cover this in the video. Well worth $2.99 to have the ability to save as SVG and support an indispensable app.

It doesn't really matter which one, but I show this in the first minute of the video and have a link in the description to the one I downloaded.
It’s $5.99 now😕
Hi,thanks for sharing.Is this app compatible with Note8 or a regular PC?You're response is very much appreciated ♡♡♡
no. is for iOS only
Thanks!!!
Do you have to use Dropbox or can I use another app
no, you can use any of the methods you normally use to save/store SVGs by using the Open in button.

Its possible that ImaEngine or Apple changed something, but there's no need to use PNG any more since you can upload SVGs to the DS app.
@@cleversomeday I’m guessing uploading SVGs to the DS app wasn’t always a thing? Lol newbie here... thank you soo much for the reply & for sharing your tutorials!
@@michellepinzon9096 I think it changed very shortly after I made this video. LOL
@@cleversomeday Lol - makes me appreciate your reply even more!
Imaengine developers released a new App, for B&W vectorization, 'Vinilo' on App Store ,it's free for now.
Thank you for letting me know, and for putting out great apps, Luis!
Is it $1.99 for the program or for each download/saved image? Great video......
one time fee of $1.99 for the full unlocked version
@@cleversomeday Thank you, worth a try!
Do you have any recommendations on programs for windows or android since this is only for apple? Thank you!
Adobe Capture is the closest thing for Android
When I click on PNG and click the camera is still blocking me and when I click on open in there still blocking me they won’t let me do no more
I am not familiar with this issue. Suggest you contact Imaengine tech support.
CleverSomeday ok thanks for your help
Are you doing this on a computer or phone?
Is an iOS app. Only works on an iPhone or iPad.
Ive edited but cant get back to the share or save how do i do this
Share button is at bottom right of the edit area. You might have to x out of the layers panel to get to it.

(as I show in the video anyway since SVGs couldn't be uploaded to the DS app yet)
CleverSomeday I can use the png but I want it to cut the colors out. Not just the outline. I’ve tried deleting the layers and nothing is working.

Can Imaengine be used on a PC?
no. is iOS only
I need to get this for my Windows PC could you help
imaengine is for iphones and ipads only. there is not a Windows version. There are web apps like picsvg and rapidresizer you can try.
Id, like to say on December 10 2020 the 1.99 upgrade, is now 2.99
So surprised to see my parents photo on You Tube.
I made sure to ask permission first, but if it wasn't you then must have been another family member.
CleverSomeday Yes, you did ask, and I gave permission. I didn’t realize you were using it for a tutorial. Not complaining, just surprised. You did a great job and I appreciated your help. I have the app now and used your tutorial to help me figure it out.
