How to Upload Images to Cricut Design Space

In order to upload images into Cricut Design Space so that you are able to create your own projects with no purchase required Follow this step-by-step instruction:

• Launch your Cricut Design Space app on your laptop or desktop device. (New to design space? Begin here.)
• Select the “New Project” button on the upper right-hand side on the display.
• Click the “Upload” button on the lower left corner on the display.
• Click the “Upload Image” button in the middle of your screen.
• Select “Browse”, and then browse through your device’s or computer’s folders to locate the file you wish to upload. I prefer using JPG or PNG images for this. Additionally, you can upload SVG files that are ready to use immediately without having to do steps 6,7 and 8.
• Select the file you want to download and select the Type that you want to use: Simple, Moderately Complex or Complex. Design Space walks you through which of these types refers to.
• Select “Continue”, and then take out the background from the image by hand or using Cricut’s automated background removal feature. It is also possible to crop undesirable areas of the photo on the screen.
• Select “Apply & Continue” and decide if you wish the design to be “Cut Image” (the Cricut will cut out the lines) or “Print then Cut Image” (you will print the layout with a printer then cut out the lines using the Cricut). Most of the time, I create Cut Images.
• Select “Upload” and your image will show up in the “Recent Uploads” folder!
• To add your image to your project, simply click the image select “Add to Canvas” on the lower right corner on the page.Or Go On Armobileskin.com to buy skin templates for Cricut.
