How to Troubleshoot SVG Files in Cricut Design Space

1. SVG File Not Uploading

If your SVG file is **not uploading** or Cricut Design Space gives an error, check the following:

  • βœ… Ensure the file is in **SVG format** (not PNG or JPG).
  • βœ… Make sure the file size is under **12MB** (Cricut has file size limits).
  • βœ… Try uploading the file again after **clearing your browser cache**.

2. SVG File Looks Blank After Uploading

If your SVG uploads but appears **invisible or blank**, try these fixes:

  • πŸ”Ή Zoom in – Sometimes the design is **too small** to see.
  • πŸ”Ή Check **layer visibility** – Make sure layers are not hidden.
  • πŸ”Ή Select the design and **change the color** in Cricut Design Space.

πŸ’‘ Try resizing your design using **Cricut’s size adjustment tool**.

3. Missing Layers or Parts of the Design

Sometimes, Cricut **does not import all layers** in an SVG file.

  • βœ… Make sure the file was **not flattened** before uploading.
  • βœ… **Ungroup the layers** by clicking **β€œUngroup”** in the Layers panel.
  • βœ… Open the file in **Inkscape or Illustrator** to check if layers are intact.

4. SVG File is Not Cutting Correctly

If your Cricut is **cutting incorrectly** or **missing details**, check these:

  • πŸ”Ή Make sure lines are **set to β€œCut”** instead of β€œPrint Then Cut.”
  • πŸ”Ή **Weld or Attach** objects that need to stay together.
  • πŸ”Ή **Check blade settings** – A dull blade can cause **jagged cuts**.

πŸ’‘ Learn more about **Cricut cutting settings** in our SVG Usage Guide.

5. File is Too Large or Too Complex

If the SVG **crashes or slows down** Cricut Design Space, the file may be **too detailed**.

  • βœ… Reduce **the number of nodes** using **Inkscape or Illustrator**.
  • βœ… Try breaking the design into **smaller sections**.
  • βœ… Close unused programs to **free up memory**.

6. Cricut is Not Cutting All Layers

If Cricut **skips certain layers**, follow these steps:

  • πŸ”Ή Check the **Layers Panel** – Some layers may be set to β€œHidden.”
  • πŸ”Ή Make sure the **Attach Tool** is used to keep layers in place.
  • πŸ”Ή Ensure your layers are set to **Cut** and not Print or Score.

7. Cricut Design Space is Running Slow

  • βœ… Use **Google Chrome** for best performance.
