5 Free Softball SVGs File Designs

These Free Softball SVGs are great for Cricut, Silhouette, or any other cutting machine crafts.

I don’t know what happened but for some reason, I feel like softball is not as popular as it used to be. What happened? It used to be an essential sport in the options lined up for high school and even middle school but for some reason, I just don’t see it anymore. Maybe I haven’t been exposed to that circle for some time.

I’ve always wondered by the softball ball is bigger than the baseball ball. Well, as it turns out, it is because men invited back in the turn of the century as a version of baseball to be played indoors. The size of the ball was adjusted to accommodate indoor usage. Do to regulation, the color of the ball was made to yellow so that it would be easier to see. Later on, it just became a standard to have yellow larger balls for softball.

How to turn any image into an SVG template?

Interested in learning the easiest way to make your own SVG?

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to turn any image into an SVG format image without having to use any complicated graphics editing software.

First, a quick primer on what is an SVG… SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. It is a way to store digital information about an image. Most images you see on the web and other digital devices use a bitmap or pixel-based image storage format. In other words, the image is captured with information about each dot in the image.

SVG format images are part of a category of images that are vector-based. Vector-based images store the image as a series of paths and nodes. Most cutting machines like the Cricut and Silhouette use SVG format images because the blade on the machine needs to know what direction (or path) to cut.

To turn a bitmap-based image into a vector-based image, you need special conversion software tools. This is an algorithm tricky conversion because there are lots of different ways to do it with varying degrees in quality. Most graphic editing software like Adobe Illustration make you manually decide on those conversion settings which makes it really difficult to use if you’re not already familiar with Illustrator.

I use a software tool called Vector Magic. With Vector Magic, you just upload your image (you can even copy and paste it in) and it automatically just converts to an SVG format for you. You can make editorial adjustments afterward if you’d like but there is a baseline conversion ready to go if that’s good enough.

Here’s an image for you to give it a try yourself. It’s a bunch of cute animal drawings I did the other day. I just took a picture of it with my phone. Try copy and paste this image into the Vector Magic interface. (Right-click on the image below, select “copy”, then head over to Vector Magic and past it into the window or just hit Ctrl+V)

After you pasted your image into the Vector Magic window, it will automatically start to convert your image:

This will take a few seconds. When the process is complete, you will see the vectorized SVG image on the right with the original on the left.

If you don’t like the automated conversion, there are a number of different adjustments you can make from the right tool panel.

After making adjustments, you can download your converted image as an SVG and then upload it to your cutting machine interface like Cricut Design Space below:

DIY Softball Gifts

In addition, there are plenty of DIY softball gifts you can make with these free softball SVGs. For example, you can create custom softball cards for coaches. This is a great way to say thank you at the end of your child’s sports season. Using the monogram template, you can write “Thank You!” or your child’s coach’s name on the front. Alternatively, you can use the softball to substitute the “o” in “you.”

Of course, you can also make fun softball t-shirts for team moms as well. Undoubtedly, this is a fun, creative way to build team spirit and show pride for your child’s softball team.
