My cutter will accept:
AI Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
EPS Encapsulated Post Script (.eps)
PS Postscript (.ps)
PDF portable Document Format (.pdf)
SVG Scalable Vector Graphocs (.svg)
WMF Windows MetaFile (.wmf)
DXF AutoCAD Drawing Exchange Format (.dxf)
HPGL Hewlett Packard Graphics Language (.hpgl)
RTF Rich Text Format (.rtf)

Is there any way of me converting my files to any of the above?

What format are your files in now?

Do you mean converting from a bitmap format to a vector format? I use VectorMagic.

What software are you using now for your designs? Most programs should allow you to export as different files.
Many thanks

When you say you want to convert your files, what kind of files are these? and what software were they created in.
