Cricut App Download Free: A Complete Installation Guide

Looking for a Cricut app download free? Here is the full guide for you! I’ve spent two days determining what to include or not in this write-up. Before that, I also helped one of my cousins, John, to setup his new Cricut Joy. Since setup is a lengthy process, I had to teach him in a stepwise manner so that he wouldn’t get confused.

In the same way, I will teach you how to download Cricut Design Space on your compatible device. When I say compatible device, I mean Windows, MacBook, Android, and iOS. Cricut only supports these four devices. Other than this, you can’t use devices like Chromebooks, Linux, or Unix.

A little about me: You can call me a crafting expert who has been making DIY projects using the Cricut machine for many years. So, I have a lot of knowledge about the Cricut setup, downloading, and troubleshooting any errors arising from Cricut. Now, let’s start downloading the software.

Cricut App Download Free on a Desktop

Before you download the software, you need to know your computer’s basic system requirements. For example, the required 2 GB of disk space and 4 GB RAM size are the same for both devices. Besides, if you are a PC user, make sure your computer has Windows 10 or later OS. At the same time, Mac users need macOS 11 or later. Once done, you can follow the steps described below.

For Windows

  1. After turning on my PC, I went straight to the taskbar (located below the desktop).
  2. On the taskbar, I clicked on the Start menu (a Windows logo icon).
  3. Then, I searched for the name of the browser that I was using. For example, I am using a Chrome browser, so I typed “Chrome” and hit Enter.
  4. Once my Chrome browser popped up, I started typing the URL design.cricut.com on the search bar.
  5. Next, I moved to a Cricut download page. Here, I clicked on a checkbox that enabled the Download button.

  1. After clicking on the Download tab, the Cricut app download free began right away. 
  2. Once the app was downloaded, you went to my Downloads folder in File Explorer.
  3. Inside my Downloads folder, I found a downloaded Cricut file. I double-clicked on it to install it.

Installation was a breeze as I was following the easy screen instructions, so you can also do the same.

For MacBook

  1. Even on Mac, I needed an internet browser. I opened the Chrome browser on my Mac and visited the link design.cricut.com.
  2. Once I reached Cricut’s page, I clicked the checkbox and hit the Download button to start the process.

  1. Once I was done with the Cricut software download, I went to my Downloads folder, where the .dmg file was downloaded.
  2. I double-clicked on the .dmg file.

  1. In order to install the software, I had to drag the Cricut icon to the Applications folder icon to start the Cricut installation.


Cricut App Download Free on Mobile Devices

Using the Cricut Design app via mobile phone makes the overall process superbly easy. However, Cricut doesn’t support all types of Android devices; therefore, you must visit its official site to see whether your device is compatible with them. However, almost every latest mobile phone, be it iPhone or Android, supports Cricut software. Let’s see how I downloaded and installed the software on my Android and iPhone devices.

For Android 

  1. On my Android phone, I opened a Google Play Store.
  2. Then, I searched for Cricut Design Space on the search bar.
  3. After that, an app named: “Cricut Design Space” appeared.
  4. I clicked on it and hit the Install button.

  1. After the installation, the app was visible on my phone’s home screen.

 

For iOS


  1. I first headed to the App Store on my iPhone.
  2. Then, typed Cricut Design Space on the given search bar located at the top.

  1. When I found the app on the list, I selected it right away.
  2. Then, I hit the Get button to install the Cricut Design app.

 

Note: If asked, you might need to verify your download using an iTunes password.

 

FAQs

Question 1: Why am I unable to download Cricut Design Space?

Answer: If you are having a problem downloading your Cricut software, you can try the following steps:

●     Check internet connection

●     Check whether the Cricut site is having issues with servers.

●     Verify whether your device meets the basic requirements.

●     Restart the device.

●     Clear the device cache. 

Question 2: Why am I having an error on Cricut Design Space?

Answer: If you are receiving a message like “an error has occurred,” you should follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issues:

  1. You have to sign out of the app and then sign back in. If this doesn’t solve the issue, proceed to the second step.
  2. If you are using a system font in the project and have some trouble with it, you have to use a different font to check if it resolves the issues.
  3. Also, ensure that your system meets the basic requirements.

Question 3: Why is my Cricut software not updating?

Answer: Make sure you are attempting the firmware update using your desktop or laptop computer and that your Cricut machine is connected to the computer using USB instead of Bluetooth. A USB cable is more reliable than a Bluetooth wireless connection. Therefore, you should only connect your Cricut via USB. Once you do this, it will resolve the issue of the Cricut software not updating.
