Step-by-Step: Uploading SVG to Cricut Design Space

Step 1: Open Cricut Design Space

Step 3: Upload the SVG File

• Click on the “Upload” button on the left-hand toolbar.
• Choose “Upload Image”, then click “Browse”.
• Locate the SVG file you downloaded from Gravectory.com and click Open.

⚠️ Make sure you upload the SVG version, not PNG or DXF, if you want a layered, scalable design.

Step 4: Name & Tag Your Design (Optional)

• Give your design a name so you can easily find it later.
• Add tags like “pokemon,” “floral,” or “quotes” for easier organization.

Step 5: Insert the SVG into Your Canvas
