You can upload your own designs too! Find out how to upload images to Cricut. in this handy video tutorial.

When your design is ready you simply load your materials, press a button and the cricut.com setup  has a small blade which moves around the material you are cutting following the lines of the design you have created or downloaded.

The material is secured via a 'sticky' mat so it doesn't move as the blade moves around allowing a perfectly clean cut.

Can I upload my own images with Cricut?

Yes, absolutely! The beauty of a Cricut is that you can create your own unique designs! However, there are also 1000's of files you can either buy as a digital download or even download for free.

The best file format for cricut design space images is an SVG because this image format is made up of lines, which will simply and easily guide your cutting blade around your material.

We've even got our own range of downloadable SVGs here on CraftWorld!
