Have you ever wondered how to upload an image into Cricut Design Space? I'm going to show you how easy it is to upload your own .jpeg files so you can cut them on your Cricut.
This post contains affiliate links. Thank you to Cricut for sponsoring this post.

You first want to find an image you like or your can scan a drawing of your own and convert it to a .jpeg file. I found these ladybugs on Adobe Stock because I have an account. You can easily find an image online that you like and use it for personal use. Please don't take other people's hard work and pass it off as your own unless you pay for it.  Red ladybugs beetle vintage seamless patternEver wondered how to upload your own image into Cricut Design Space?

      Are you uploading a jpeg or svg? Svg files won’t allow you to edit but jpegs will. After you upload, select what type of level you want to edit your image. You’ll select the areas that you don’t want to include and then press ok. You’ll click on whether you want to save it as a printed image or a cut image and then press save.
