How to Upload a SVG to Cricut Design Space

If you are a new Cricut user, the steps to add files to your project can be confusing. (Why do we have to hit an Upload button three different times?)

Below are step-by-step instructions on how to upload an SVG to your new project in Cricut Design Space.

First, you’ll download a ZIP file. The project tutorial explains which file and where you can download it from. This file contains the SVG and perhaps some other versions of the same file.

Double-click the ZIP file to open the folder. The files you see now are the files to upload to Cricut Design Space.

How to upload an SVG to Cricut Design Space

1) Open Cricut Design Space by double-clicking the icon on your computer.

2) Create a new project by clicking either of the buttons outlined in red in the image below.

3) Click on the Upload button.

8) The first step after the SVG has been added to your project is always to UnGroup it.

This will allow you to change colors, specify different operations for each object (such as score, draw, engrave, or perforate,) and Group and Attach each individual layer as needed.
