Formats vary a little by design: SVG throughout, PNG on most, DXF where the original artwork supported it. The download page is the source of truth.

Cutting tips for Day of the Dead designs
Size the design on the canvas before you cut rather than scaling the finished piece — thin strokes and script lettering weed far more easily once the whole design is at least four inches wide. Drop the cut speed a notch for glitter and holographic vinyl — the extra glass content dulls blades and drags on tight curves.
Mirror the mat for heat transfer vinyl and press shiny carrier side down. Layered files line up best if you cut color by color and use transfer tape to lift each layer in one piece. Full machine-by-machine steps are in the SVG how-to guide.
