Helpful Hint: Uploading Images

One of the trickiest things to learn to do on your Cricut Explore is figure out how to upload an image and then cut it. After you figure out how to do this step once, you won't ever need to learn it again!
In my opinion, this is the main thing you need to know how to do with your Cricut Explore. By learing this step, you will save money by not having to but any Cricut Cartridges, or any digital images because almost any thing you need is right at your fingertips on google images.

Directions:

1. Right click your image and save it to your device
2. Go on Cricut Design Space and click create new project
3. Click upload images
4. Under basic upload click upload image
5. Click browse
6. Select the image you want
7. Click simple image
8. Click continue
9. In the left hand corner there are 3 icons- crop, select and erase, and erase. Using crop, you will crop out everything in the picture except the part you want to cut. Using select and erase, you can select and erase all the random lines that you don't want to be cut, including the white spaces in the background. Using erase, you can remove spots on your image
10. Once you are done, click continue
11. Then click save
12. Click the image you want and click insert images
13. Click on your image and click the unflatten button in the right (this will flatten the image so you can cut it)
14. Click your image after clicking the unflatten button and make sure it says flatten
15. Then click the printer icon
16. Sometimes it requires you to click fill with solid color, but if not then just click cut
17. Click Go, and now you are ready to cut
