Uploading Image and SVG Files to the Cricut Design Space Story

Uploading Image and SVG Files to the Cricut Design Space

To bring your art to life, you need to understand cutting machines and the associated software and take advantage of all they offer.

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

[{"selector":"#anim-62598d6e-fdab-4daa-a460-12d064166f3a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-629efa99-1652-4b85-8bac-ee63d07ea3af","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

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.

[{"selector":"#anim-f3b0ade9-f25e-484e-b844-04d6d437dc99","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6eab37e8-4878-472f-bff4-31f8b7c5c235","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8fcb94ee-8865-46a7-946a-2709a097166b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-903dbdcb-4471-4f77-9e65-7b17ce15a5e1 [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"}] 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.

[{"selector":"#anim-69528de3-3f7b-40b6-a6fd-5eb6d803664c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f216d37-a862-4c74-a66f-ba6054e0f1ae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eb784cee-e113-4b9a-bf93-f4a63219cb58","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-70484b7a-100b-4a3b-8b2d-4ec0c344a93f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(21.874999829338595%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":9000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","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.
