Big Changes Are Coming to Your Silhouette Library
Apr 29, 2025
Starting May 1, 2025, all Silhouette users will be limited to 1GB of storage for user-created content in their Library.
This includes:
- Designs you've created in Silhouette Studio
- Files you’ve imported
- Anything that wasn’t purchased from the Silhouette Design Store
⚠️ Important: If you’re using more than 1GB, files over that limit may be permanently deleted — and there’s no way to know which ones. Export your designs before May 1st!
💡 Terri's Tip: Don’t Rely on the Library for Storage
Even with the best intentions, cloud-based libraries can run into limits, sync issues, or unexpected changes like this one. That’s why I do not recommend using the Silhouette Library as your main place to store important design files. Here’s what I suggest instead:
💻 Save your designs to your computer’s hard drive
💾 Use an external hard drive for extra security
☁️ Back everything up — either to the cloud or a second device
Your creativity is worth protecting!
💾 How to Export Your User-Made Designs
Follow these quick steps to safely back up your custom designs:
- Open Silhouette Studio and log into your account
- Go to the Library tab
- Click your name in the upper left corner
- Choose “Export User Made Designs”
- Select a location on your computer or external drive to save your files
✅ Once exported, your designs are safe — even if your Library storage is reduced later.
📦 Want to Keep 5GB of Storage?
Here’s how storage limits will work going forward:
- ✅ If you were a Club Silhouette or Design Store subscriber as of March 31, 2025, and haven't canceled — you’ll keep 5GB
- 🆕 New subscribers after April 1, 2025, will get 5GB only if they purchase the Diamond Subscription
- 🚫 If you cancel your subscription, your limit will drop to 1GB, and you'll need to follow the new subscription options if you rejoin
🎨 Designs purchased from the Silhouette Design Store are always yours to keep and won’t be affected.
