The next step is to save your file in an SVG format. This can usually be done from within the program’s menu system or by choosing “Save As” from the File menu.

Make sure you select “SVG” as your file type when saving the file so that it can be used with your Cricut machine.

Your final step is to upload your SVG file into your Cricut Design Space software or app so that it can be cut on the machine. This process is relatively simple and involves selecting “Upload” from the Design Space menu and then selecting your saved SVG file from its location on your computer.
