Export design from Cricut

[Molly Klodor]

Hi! We're making Funko Pop boxes in an art class and trying to get students to design their box. We managed to scale the box size down to print on one sheet of paper, then cut it in the cricut. Now we want to export the cut marks from Cricut Design Space into a PNG or PDF; something that can be imported into Canva for students to design and print.

Any ideas how to export a design from Cricut Design Space?

I've not found a direct way.  You can save your Design Space files offline -- I believe it saves a PNG of the file, but it might not have a transparent background (This video -- fast forward to about 6 minutes-- shows where to find the file from the "save offline" feature: https://youtu.be/miyDf12jMk0?si=OW1Rg3D4ntnuE6Gt).  

An easier way might be to:

• Draw a white shape (rectangle, circle, etc.) in Design Space.
• Place your design on top of the shape so that you can't see the ruled background of Design Space.
• Use the Windows Snipping Tool (or Mac equivalent) to "snip" the design, save it as PNG, then import it into Canva.
