Someone on this forum posted the instructions for making an SVG in Inkscape. Inkscape is free and is a pretty robust image manipulation tool. I have been able to convert jpg, png and gif images successfully.
How to create SVG in Inscape
Open your image in Inkscape – select it
Click Path – Trace Bitmap – this will open a Trace Bitmap window
Click ‘Update’ to be sure image looks OK – then click OK and close window
You will now have 2 images - the top one is the traced image, move that one aside, select the bottom one and delete (My version of Inkscape does not have two images)
Be sure your new image is selected – click File – Save As - Choose type as Plain SVG – hit Save
You will now have an SVG file that “should” open just fine in Carbide Create
