How to upload a Pattern into Cricut Design Space
From your canvas click on Upload on the left side of the screen near the bottom of the list.
Click on Pattern fill on the next screen.
With Pattern fill selected, click on Upload Pattern.
Make sure your file type is either a .jpg, .gif, .png or .bmp. You can Drag and drop the file from your computer explorer, or click Browse and search for the file.
Once you have selected the file, choose a Pattern Name for it – something that is relevant to what is in the image.
You can also select the relevant Colours that are in the image itself – this helps with searching your patterns at a later stage.
After you have clicked Upload you will see a banner saying “Pattern Upload Successful“. It will disappear after a few seconds, so don’t upload the pattern a second time as you cannot delete an uploaded pattern at this moment!
