UPDATE: The Imengine app has been renamed to Vector Q so search for that instead when downloading it from the app store 🙂

Crazy question……when you cut something like this, what which part is weeded? The pieces or light pieces? Lol!! I’m picturing it and confusing myself just looking at it. But I have ideas for doing something using this but want to make sure I know what I’m doing. Thank you. 🙂
Not a crazy question. So typically the black on the image would be the vinyl portion. So you would weed out the white portions within the image. However, if you wanted to do the opposite like to create a stencil, you could always do a difference or slice it out of a square or other shape.
Ok, awesome! A stencil is actually what I’m looking at doing., well, one of the things any way. Thank you very much! 🙂
this was quite confusing for me to understand. I have this app on my phone but every time I tried to do anything with it I would get a message saying it was empty.
Hmm that doesn’t sound right. Perhaps you want to uninstall and reinstall the app if it’s not working properly.
Is there a similar app for Android?
I don’t have an Android unfortunately but I will be on the look out if I hear of one to share 🙂
That would be awesome – or one for a PC?
I too am unable to download app in Microsoft store for PC. Erica, do you know of an alternative program we can use?
This is actually for mobile devices. Do you have a non-iPhone?
If working on a Macbook Pro, what program should we use? I tried to find the Imaengine but wasnt coming up. Will keep looking but figured I would ask.
thanks!
The Inkscape course includes a lesson on how to convert photos to SVGs in Inkscape as well. Imaengine is a nice shortcut standalone program but it is for iPad and iPhone – not Mac computers.
I did a little project in imaengine, opened a dropbox account, put my file there, and went to dropbox.com. When I click on it though, I am not given an option to upload it to inkspace. I only get the options share and download. What am I missing, or doing wrong??
Hmm it may vary by computer or maybe dropbox did an update. No big deal you can just download and open in Inkscape that way too.
is anyone having issues uploading an imaengine svg having a weird line across it?
Can I name one I use on my android here. Is that ok
Absolutely!
Hi can you name the one you use on Android please?
I use it then zave in pictures and share it in messenger to myself
Oh good tip!
I’m also trying to picture the cut for the dog photo (small dog) when you cut it in your machine after weeding it just had the brown/black guess depending on color of vinyl of the dog?
I cannot find an app on my iPad that looks the same as the one above. So looked in the Inkscape course for the alternative method and could not find a lesson titled convert photo to sag or anything like it. Can you either assist in finding the app on my iPad or direct me to the course name in your Inkscape course? THANKS!
Hmm it might not have an ipad version. Do you have an iphone?
This would be the lesson on how to do it in Inkscape:https://members.svgandme.com/lessons/tracing-photos/
Hello I was having issues finding the app as well so I looked it up on google and the app has changed names it is now called vector Q. Erica can you confirm this or am I wrong.
Oh yep! You’re right I just updated the app and it changed names
