SVG Files and Image Uploading in Cricut

Learning how to upload an SVG file to Cricut Design Space, is one of the most freeing and exciting aspects of owning a Cricut machine.

This tutorial will explain how to upload files, including your own images, into Cricut Design Space.

[{"selector":"#anim-63047c30-0cad-4342-817d-34db820b5480","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4062ef4b-ea19-472f-8871-bad82f15a816","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 516.30838%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

PNG or JPEG – A PNG is just like a clipart image. Clipart images are flattened designs – meaning the colors are blended and you cannot separate each layer by color.

[{"selector":"#anim-e5abdb16-42a3-4eb3-816f-e22db7b1c4da [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-43.74218738608351%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":9000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f590cbdd-83cc-46de-aa5c-314ce6859fe6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea4d0b9c-72d9-451d-af0f-091addc11a34","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e53b622a-0322-459d-9f12-83807c5835dd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

DXF – Similar to SVG files, but I do not recommend them because they do not save with the same content data as SVG.

SVG – This stands for scalable vector graphics. SVG files give you the ability to layer by color with various materials like cardstock, vinyl, felt, etc.
