Silhouette Studio
Silhouette Studio is a design and cutting software from Silhouette America used by crafters, small businesses, and hobbyists to create designs for vinyl cutting, screen printing, embroidery and other applications. It imports vector files from Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, and other formats, allows users to edit designs, arrange cut paths, and sends designs wirelessly via Bluetooth to Silhouette cutting machines. The app is the primary software for operating Silhouette brand cutting hardware and is widely used in craft studios and home workshops.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSilhouette Studio has not been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon and there is no evidence of ongoing development from Silhouette America. The app continues to launch under Rosetta 2 today on M-series Macs, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point Silhouette Studio will stop working entirely. If you rely on this app, you should contact Silhouette America directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before the September 2028 deadline. As a contingency, research whether any compatible third-party design software that runs natively on Apple Silicon (such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Affinity Designer, or Inkscape) can output in formats that your Silhouette machine accepts — this may allow you to continue working with your hardware even if Silhouette Studio itself becomes unavailable. However, be aware that integration and workflow may differ from the official app.
