Can I upload sublimation files to Cricut Design Space

Modified on Tue, 03 Oct 2023 at 02:05 PM

Issue: I've found some sublimation files I would like to use with Cricut Design Space. Will they work?


Resolution:

Sublimation files, usually in PNG format, can generally be used with Cricut Design Space for print and cut projects. However, when choosing a design, it's crucial to consider a few key factors for optimal results: 


1. Sharp, Defined Edges: Complex images with intricate or rough edges may cause problems when uploaded to Cricut Design Space. Excessive detailing, like a distressed effect on the image edge, can lead to slow loading or even program crashes. Designs with smooth outlines upload more successfully, ensuring a clean cut.


2. Transparency Matters: PNG files typically feature a transparent background, ideal for cutting. However, Design Space cannot handle designs with semi-transparent or partially opaque sections. Such designs might lose parts of the image upon upload. 

How to Verify PNG File Compatibility with Design Space:

Check the Product Description: Designers often provide compatibility details in the product description. It's advisable to thoroughly review this information before choosing a design.

Reach Out to the Designer: If you have specific questions about a product, contacting the designer directly is a great option. To get in touch, visit their store front and click on the "Send Message" button.
