How Do I Change the Paper Size on My Cricut?

If you have ever used the Cricut machine, then you know that it is a great way to quickly and easily create stunning designs from the comfort of your own home. But what if you need to change the paper size on your Cricut machine?

Fortunately, changing the paper size on your Cricut machine is actually quite simple. To start, you will need to open up the Cricut Design Space software.

Once open, select the “Customize” option from the menu bar at the top of the page. From there, click on “Paper Size” and select one of the pre-set sizes from the drop down menu.

You can also create a custom size paper by entering in your desired dimensions in inches. Keep in mind that most Cricut models are not able to cut anything larger than 12” x 24”. Once you have entered in your custom dimensions, click “Apply” and the new paper size will be set.

If you are using an older model of Cricut such as a Maker or Explore Air 2, then you will need to manually adjust your cutting mat according to your new paper size. To do this, simply place some masking tape along one edge of your cutting mat and measure it out using a ruler or measuring tape.

Once completed:

Once you have set up your new paper size and adjusted your cutting mat accordingly, you are ready to start creating awesome designs with your Cricut machine! It is important to remember that when creating more complex designs larger than 12” x 24” with an older model like Maker or Explore Air 2, it may take longer for these machines to cut out all of the details accurately.

Conclusion:

Changing the paper size on your Cricut machine is actually quite simple. All that is needed is opening up Design Space and selecting either one of the pre-set sizes or entering custom dimensions.

For older models such as Maker or Explore Air 2 it may also be necessary to manually adjust the cutting mat accordingly. After setting up everything correctly, you can start creating beautiful designs with ease!
