I recently started using a Silhouette Portrait 4 cutter at work.
This cutter allows me to cut vinyl, stickers, and magnets, but the software (Silhouette Studio) was unusable on my Mac (MacBook Pro M1 Max) because it was freezing and very slow.
Disabling the anti-aliasing feature in Silhouette Studio have significantly improve the performance of the software.
Steps to Disable Anti-Aliasing in Silhouette Studio:
- Open Silhouette Studio on your Mac.
- Click on the gear icon (⚙️) in the bottom-left corner to open Preferences.
- Navigate to the “Display” tab.
- Find the option for Anti-Aliasing and set it to “Off”.
- Restart Silhouette Studio for the changes to take effect.

Anti-aliasing is set to “Off”
After disabling anti-aliasing, the software should feel faster, more responsive, and no longer freeze on your Mac.
Hope this helps!
