Easy Cut Studio
Easy Cut Studio is sign-design and vinyl-cutting software for creating designs and cutting them with a vinyl cutter or plotter. It includes drawing and editing tools, text effects, and image tracing that converts imported graphics into editable vector paths. It accepts more than 20 import formats, including SVG, PDF, PNG, EPS, AI, GSD, FCM, and WPC, and exports to eight image formats. Cutting features include contour print-and-cut with registration marks, layers, nesting, rhinestone templates, and controls for pressure, speed, blade offset, and overcut. The maker says the software supports more than 800 cutter and plotter models, with USB, COM/Serial, LPT/Parallel, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity. It cannot cut directly to Cricut or Brother ScanNCut, though designs can be exported for those systems. The 15-day Windows and macOS demo adds two horizontal watermark lines to cuts and disables saving and exporting. The Windows and Mac editions each cost $59.95 as a one-time purchase purchase, with no subscription.
