Designs
How do I find or create designs?
When you start a new project, you will be given a blank canvas to work with.
There is a limited selection of free design assets available in Cricut Design Space. Optionally, you can subscribe to Cricut Access for unlimited access to Cricut's entire library or purchase premium images and fonts individually.
You can also upload your own art or images you have created or found outside of Design Space as a JPG, PNG, DXF, or SVG file.
An SVG vector file is the easiest type of file to work with. You can find many SVG files online which have been formatted for use with a cutting machine. Many designers offer free SVG files in exchange for signing up for an email newsletter, or you can purchase SVG files from sites such as Etsy, Creative Fabrica, Design Bundles and others.
Some sites where you can search for free (for personal use) SVG designs include LoveSVG, SVGRepro, and FreeSVG.
