How to unzip a download

Short answer

Every design downloads as one ZIP file. Cutting software can’t open a ZIP, so extract it first: on Windows, right-click it and choose Extract All; on a Mac, double-click it.

Each design comes as one ZIP file with the SVG, DXF, EPS and PNG files, a Read Me First guide and the license inside. Extract it before you upload anything.

Windows

Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All, then click Extract. A regular folder with the same name appears next to the ZIP.

Mac

Double-click the ZIP and a regular folder appears next to it.

iPhone or iPad

Open the Files app, find the download (usually in Downloads) and tap the ZIP to expand it.

Android

In the Files app, tap the ZIP and choose Extract.

Unzipping a lot of files at once

On Windows, the free 7-Zip program can extract a whole batch: select the ZIPs, right-click, then choose 7-Zip and Extract to “*\”. On a Mac, the free app The Unarchiver handles batches the same way.

If the ZIP won’t open

Make sure the download finished, then try again. If it still fails, 7-Zip (Windows) or The Unarchiver (Mac) can often open a file the built-in tool refuses.
