How to prepare for using this tool

You can use Cricut Design Space software in the Maker Studio, or download it it for free and create your design in one of these ways:

  1. Create your design directly in Cricut Design Space
  2. Upload a ready-to-cut SVG or DXF file
  3. Import your image and use the tracing tools in the software to convert it to a cut file

If you have questions about materials, file setup, or tool compatibility, please discuss your project with Maker Studio staff before using the machine.
