How do I troubleshoot issues with the Cricut app (Design Space)? Any issues you experience with the app can usually be resolved with some basic steps: 1.Ensure the app is up to date (How?). 2.Ensure your computer or mobile device operating system is up to date (How?), and that it meets the system requirements for Design Space. 3.Sign out of Design Space, then sign back in. 4.Restart your computer or mobile device. 5.If issues persist, you can uninstall Design Space, restart your device, then reinstall Design Space. Be advised, while projects are saved to the Cricut cloud by default, if you have any projects saved only to your device, make sure you save them to the cloud before uninstalling Design Space.
Can I use the Cricut app (Design Space) on both iOS and Android devices? Design Space is available for both iOS and Android mobile devices! Visit cricut.com/system-requirements for information about supported iOS and Android operating systems and devices.

Artists that create original SVG designs in Adobe Illustrator, or similar software, should apply. This program was created for artists who know how to create original artwork, and want to share their talents on Design Space.
This program is not for people who enjoy creating projects using existing Design Space images. We still want you to share your creativity, but we recommend you share them via community projects in Design Space.
Since all artwork in Design Space is optimized for Cricut cutting machines, we have to ensure your submissions are compatible, too. We look at file types, design complexity, and other criteria to make sure your artwork will be compatible with our machines.
Our goal is to get back to all applicants with a decision within 10 business days. We hope to be faster, but we want to make sure we review each application carefully depending on how many applications we get.
* Funds to pay artists in the Contributing Artist Program come from a budgeted portion of our Cricut Access subscription revenue, which may change from time to time. See Program Membership Terms for details.1
You can upload as much artwork as you want, as long as it is yours, and you have the rights to do so. Content that violates third-party intellectual property rights is not allowed and will be removed.
No, your artwork will only be used by Cricut members in Design Space; however, your artwork submissions may fall under our Angel Policy in the future. This would potentially allow Cricut members to put your artwork on items they can sell.3
Unfortunately Cricut Design Space does not have any export options. This is totally one of my dreams to have it work together. I love their images and I have literally Hundreds of their cartridges both physical and digital.
I use Silhouette Studio to do my designing for the Glowforge, with occasional excursions into Inkscape. Someday I may learn another design program, but for now, Silhouette Studio allows me to do what I want.
I use circut with Inkscape to use with Glowforge. Use snip tool to copy a shape without grid to clipboard. Paste in Inkscape. Trace path. I ungroup, separate and keep just outline. Save as svg. Open in Glowforge.
Hi all! I was wondering if anyone knew of any software programs out there that are compatible with the cricut cake? I would like to use fonts from my own computer and am not sure if theres a way to do that. I have heard of Make the Cut but also read that they no longer support cricut. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!
I have a Cricut I purchased 4 years ago now, and I immediately load SCAL onto it, I have the use of over 5000 types of fonts and 1000's and 1000's of images, I also have software programs which allow me to make them into images and load them thru SCAL then cut.
If you were to advertise on craigslist or even look on ebay for a Cricut machine that has SCAL 1 on it already, you should be able to use it for your cake stuff. I have seen numerous videos on youtube about how to convert a regular machine into a cake machine, just make sure you also clean it thuroughly and change out the blade. It will work.
BTW, I absolutely LOVE my Cricut with SCAL.
It has to be an older cricut that has never been updated and an older version of SCAL or Make The Cut. Since Provo Craft sued both companies they will no longer work with the newer machines or updated versions of the software. The software is loaded onto your computer, not the cricut so you would need to find both an older cricut (never updated) and older version of the software.
AI'm so glad I found this thread today, I looked at SCAL a couple years back for paper crafts but since I added a Cricut cake to my kitchen it will be a great addition. I hate being limited to the cartridges. Thanks NYRchick!
AOne thing about SCAL is that your images MUST be vector based, if they aren't they need to be converted, which you can do in a basic manner throught the SCAL, or if you are computer graphic savy you can do a better conversion with Photoshop or a similar program. Like has already been said you need an older cricut and never never upgrade the operating system. The limits then are ENDLESSLY awesome:)
I am happy to share all of the Cricut Design Space fix information I discovered. Since Cricut Design Space is a software program, often when there is an update to update one thing it will end up breaking something else.
Why is this? Because the programmers at Cricut cannot possibly test their software for every combination of devices and operating systems out there. Plus we all have different programs and applications on our devices that might block something Design Space is trying to do.
Sometimes the Cricut Design Space fix is an easy one, such as you cannot get past the Cricut Design Space login page. Here are some of the first things to try any time that Cricut Design Space is not working.
In July 2024 I experienced an issue where when I tried to open up Design Space it would just continually open up a new tab, instead of the project I was trying to open. I had to delete the Design Space software from my computer and then re-install it from the Cricut website.
With the February 2021 update that was done to Cricut Design Space some users, including myself, were having trouble opening anything in Design Space. This included formerly created and saved projects. Cricut put out a statement with a fix for this that you can read HERE.
The Cricut Design Space fix for this problem is Clearing Application Cache. I had no idea how to do this myself, but I found the directions from Cricut very easy to follow. Please click HERE to read and follow the directions from Cricut.
Some Cricut users are asking if clearing the application cache for Cricut Design Space cause them to lose any fonts that they have from sites like DaFont. The answer to this is no, you will not lose your fonts.
Any fonts that you downloaded and installed from sites like DaFont are installed on the device you are working with, whether that is your computer, iPad or phone. They are a part of that operating system and are not stored in Design Space. This is why they show up under System Fonts when you open Design Space.
Another question is will I lose my images and svg files that I have uploaded to Design Space by clearing the application cache. The answer to that is no, you will not. This is because when you upload an image or a svg to Design Space you save it to the cloud. The cloud is on the Cricut server so once you are back in Design Space you will be able to access them again.
In Cricut Design Space next to fonts and images you may have seen an option that says Download. If you have downloaded an image or a font in this manner, you will not lose it. Cricut Design Space is a program and when you download images or fonts they are not saved to your computer. Downloading them just makes them available for you to access if you are working with Design Space offline.
Here is a great example of working with Cricut Design Space offline. Pretend you are going on a long trip and will not have internet connect while traveling, maybe while you are on the airplane. If you download all of the images and fonts you know you will need for designing a project before getting on the plane, you will be able to use them to create projects while you are on the plane.
You will know you are working offline in Design Space because you will see the word Offline in the upper left corner of the screen. The only thing you cannot do while offline is upload images and fonts that are not already in your Design Space account.
What about saved projects, will I lose those? Once again, the answer is no. Your saved projects are also saved to the cloud so they are nice and safe on the Cricut server. If you go into Settings, you can bypass this. You would have to change the default settings to computer only. So unless you know you have done that, you are safe and you will not lose your projects.
In early 2024, some users began to notice that if you used the Contour button to remove sections of your design, as I do when I create layers, the overally bounding box around the design will stay large. It is as if the software is holding on to the memory of how big the image used to be. This can be a problem if you are using Contour to take pieces out of a design and make the pieces small enough to fix on a standard cutting mat.
What is the Cricut Design Space fix for this issue? Luckily, some users have found that just switching to the Beta version of the software will resolve this issue. If you have never switched between the live and beta version of Design Space before, you will need to go under your Settings to do that. I do have a video that shows where to find your Settings HERE.
