What's Cricut Design Space?

Design Space is the designs software by Cricut that you can download as an app on your Mac, Windows, or smartphone. You can set up your Cricut machine via Design Space. In this app, you'll find a library with both free and paid read-made designs and projects. You can also upload your own projects that you can download from the internet or create yourself. You can even create your own master pieces with shapes, letters, and images. When your design is done, you can send it to your Cricut machine via the Design Space app.

Design Space is indispensable for your Cricut machine. You can only control your Cricut machine via this app. That's why you can't use your machine without Cricut Design Space. You can use Design Space for free, but you need Cricut Access for some designs. This is the paid subscription by Cricut. With this, you'll have access to more than 500,000 images, 700 fonts, and 1000 ready-made projects. Some functions are only available for Cricut Access subscribers too, like the Monogram Maker and the reshape function. You can get this subscription at Cricut.
