If you haven’t heard just yet, Design Space is moving next Wednesday, January 29, 2020, the web browser version of Design Space will no longer be available.
So when you type in design.cricut.com, you will get a message that you are currently using the web version of Design Space. You will be directed to download the desktop app. And I would suggest to download it now before the switch happens.
So basically we are saying goodbye to the browser version of Design Space. Per Cricut’s website, the update will roll out over 7 days so you may not get it right away. Which it’s pretty simple, and not to worry because everything should be there for you. Your projects and images, the only difference is that you’ll be opening Design Space from your desktop vs. a web browser.
It is supposed to be a faster connections between the software and our machine when we cut our projects, which I am ecstatic about. This should provide us a better experience, so woohoo Cricut!
Here’s the step by step on how to download Cricut Design Space app onto your computer in case you needed help.
