Note, that PNG format supports transparent areas, while JPG does not. Instead of saving as a PNG, you could add a new background, and save it as JPG. Now, you can export your image as a PNG: File - Export As - PNG, confirm with Save. When the result on the right looks well, press OK at the top to confirm it. If the object contains hair or fur, you should set the border to 20 or even more.
Then, gradually increase the Border, until you find the right value. You can start working with Border = 0, to determine the initial result (also, Magic Cut works faster with Border = 0). The Border value allows you to soften the edge between Foreground / Background by a certain rate. Borderīy default (with Border = 0), Magic Cut marks every pixel as a Foreground or a Background, creating hard edges betwen these areas. But make sure there is never any Green color in the background, or a Red color in the object (use the Grey color to erase such places). You can keep working with that guess, or clear it with a Clear button and start from scratch. Former British diplomat, Olympic rower and leadership consultant Catherine Bishop shares her. When you start Magic Cut, your image is pre-marked with Red and Green, as the "initial guess". This former Olympian turned diplomat reveals why there’s no cookie-cutter template for success. You can move the image while holding the Spacebar, or by dragging the preview image.

You can Zoom to a specific place with a Mouse Wheel, or by pressing Ctrl + Plus (or Minus) on your keyboard. At the top, you can choose the brush size and the color (Red or Green), a Grey is an eraser. You can paint on the left, and you will see the result on the right. Use Magic Cut by painting over the image with two colors: Go to Photopea, press File - Open, and open an image you want to work with. Magic Cut is a part of Photopea photo editor. It is one of the fastest ways to do it, and you can use it online for free. From here, you will need to set the pressure.Magic Cut is a tool for removing background (cutting out an object) from a photo. Fasten the blade position so that the tip of the blade is slightly penetrating the top surface of the vinyl backing.
There are basically two parameters that need to be set to achieve good cutting. Setting up blade depth and pressure or force is critical to getting good cuts.60° blades are sharper and are widely used. 45° blades strike a good balance between wear and sharpness. The larger the blade angle, the sharper the blade, but the quicker the blade will dull. Blades usually come in angles from 20° to 60° or so. Most of the issues associated with vinyl cutting are related to vector art quality. In the end, a simple black, yellow and blue image ended up being 25 different colors and had edges on 25 different layers. It turns out that Flexi interpreted the yellow as 8 shades of yellow and created edges between the different shades of yellow and separated these edges onto different layers. Your vinyl cutter can cut lines, arcs and circles but cannot cut a pixel so all artwork must be converted to vector art so your vinyl cutter can cut it properly. Vector art format differs from bitmap or JPEG art format in that vector art contains lines and arcs to define the picture whereas bitmaps and their equivalents are just a pattern of pixels without any edge definition. If you take a photograph and bring it into a cutting program like Flexi Starter 10 and automatically convert it into vector art you will likely have a mess to clean up.Creating clean VCRVA is even more time consuming because adequate thought has to go into figuring out what portions of your design you are going to keep and what portions you are going to remove or 'weed' away.Usually, when people want to vinyl cut an image, creating clean vector art is the most time consuming process but yet it is the most important. Alternatively, you can draw shapes and prepare vector art specifically for vinyl cutting with a graphics program like InkScape, Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator.

All text on all the Windows or Mac included fonts can be typed directly into a vinyl cutting program. All keyboard fonts are considered vinyl cutter ready vector art (VCRVA or VCVA).
