About STUDIO files
The .STUDIO file extension represents two distinct proprietary vector formats used in digital design: electronic cutting layouts from Silhouette Studio and interface prototypes from the legacy InVision Studio.
Silhouette Users: These files contain vector paths, registration marks, and cut settings for Silhouette machines (Cameo, Portrait). A major limitation is that the free "Basic Edition" of Silhouette Studio restricts users from exporting industry-standard SVG files, effectively locking designs into their ecosystem. This prevents users from transferring their work to Cricut Design Space, Adobe Illustrator, or other vector software without a paid upgrade. Solution: To bypass these restrictions, convert your .STUDIO files to SVG for universal cutting machine compatibility, or to PDF for easy printing and sharing with clients.
InVision Users: These are complex design project files (internally compressed as ZIP) containing layout JSON and assets. With the platform's discontinuation, accessing these files has become a digital preservation challenge. Solution: Convert these files to PDF for visual archiving or extract the contents to recover raw image assets (PNG, JPG) for migration to modern tools like Figma.
Convert.Guru analyzes your STUDIO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The STUDIO Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our STUDIO converter.
