Get Crafty! Connect your Cricut to your Chromebook!
Android Apps make the impossible possible (like connecting a Cricut cutting machine to a Chromebook)
A few weeks ago I wanted to work on a project that required a vinyl cutter (check my Instagram account for some examples!).
My sister in law does all kinds of crafty things with a Cricut cutting machine, so I started to research getting one, taking advantage of some great black-friday sales.
The problem: I only use a Chromebook and it didn’t look like the Cricut would work with ChromeOS. At least that’s what it said on their website:
Important: Design Space is not compatible with Chromebooks, or Unix/Linux Computers.
Android Apps: the solution I was looking for
Design Space, the software used to communicate with the Cricut cutter, is only available for Mac and PC. It does, nowever have an Android App.
I quickly opened up the Google Play Store on my Chromebook to see if I could download the Design Space Android App.
Note: just because an Android app exisists, doesn’t mean it will be compatible with your Chromebook. Always double check to see if you can install it on your Chromebook.
Sure enough, the app was compatible!
Again, all of the articles and videos I watched said that I wouldn’t be able to connect a Cricut cutter to my Chromebook, but I ignored them and bought one anyway!
Note: I bought the Cricut Air 2 (in black, of course), but any Cricut model should work just fine with your Chromebook.
I’ve never used the desktop version of Design Space, but I’m pretty sure that the Android app is simplified.
If you are a veteran Cricut user, you might find the Android app restrictive when compared with the desktop version. For someone like me, who has never used the “regular” version, it works great and does everything I need it to do!
I have connected my Cricut to multple Chromebooks including the HP x360 and the Samsung Chromebook Pro. While they both work well, any Android-compatible Chromebook should work fine.
Tip: To figure out if your chromebook is Android-compatible, check this list.
How I connected my Chromebook to a Cricut Cutting Machine
After a short 2-day wait (thanks Amazon!) I pulled my Cricut out of the packaging and set out to connect it to my Chromebook.
Here are the specific steps I followed to connect my Cricut to my Chromebook:
1. Download the Design Space app from the Google Play store.
2. Open the app and sign in / create an account
Note: the first time I opened the app it took a while to load. Let it sit for a few minutes if it doesn’t show up right away.
Tip: The green button in the image below says “machine set up”, but I don’t recommend using it.” Click “sign in” and using your existing account or creating a new one. We’ll connect your device in the next step.
3. Turn on your Cricut cutter
The cutter must be on in order for it to broadcast a Bluetooth signal for your Chromebook to find.
4. Open the system launcher on your chromebook (i.e. click the time) and select Bluetooth.
5. Your Cricut cutter should appear in the Bluetooth menu. Select it to connect it to your device.
Tip: The first time you connect your Cricut cutter to your Chromebook you will be prompted to enter a PIN code. The default code is 0000. Unless you have changed it, that should work!
6. Prepare a project in Design Space.
When you get to the “make” screen, you will be prompted to select your Cricut (it should already be connected), and now you are ready to cut!
Android Apps make your Chromebook better!
If I have the option, I would prefer to use a web application over a mobile app.
Web apps are faster, smoother, and more reliable on a Chromebook than Android Applications.
That being said, having the option to dip into the Google Play store to access tools that DON’T have a full featured web app is a nice option!
So yes, you CAN connect your Cricut cutting machine to a Chromebook thanks to the Design Space Android app!

I had been working on this with my FACS teacher a while back, and although we can get this app working on the Chromebook if we’ve logged into the Chromebook using our personal Google account (@gmail), we cannot do this when we are logged into our Chromebooks using our school domain account. The app does not recognize our @schooldomain.org accout as a Google account (it doesn’t give us an option to use another account), therefore does not allow us to go any further. I’ve contacted Cricut support and the only answer they gave was they didn’t support Chromebooks. I don’t think they understood that the only hitch was Cricut not recognizing our school Google domain as a Google account!
Unless your district has enabled access to Google Play and approved the Design Space Android app, you won’t be able to use it with your School Chromebooks.
I primarily use Android Apps with a personal Gmail account.
Your best option is probably to talk with your IT department about letting you sign in to specific school-owned Chromebooks using a Gmail account so that you can connect your Cricut. This will be easier than asking them to set up Google Play for your entire school.
My District is encountering the same issue, We have access to the managed play store, and the app has been approved but we get the error “Authentication required.” ” You need to sign in with your Google account.” This only happens when using a district account.
Anyone have a solution to this? My district is piloting chromebooks for the teachers and Design Space has been placed on my approved Google Play Store apps. I downloaded the app but it keeps asking me to sign in to my google account. Ideas?
Hi Heather,
I don’t believe you can use the Design Space app with an EDU account. Have you tried using a personal Gmail?
I had similar issues getting my daughter signed in with her school account. I used my Gmail account and it worked fine.
Google play is enabled in our district but there is some policy that is causing an error when using a gsuite account. It says you must login, but will not allow you to login to your cricut account. I have tried many policy changes and still have not figured it out.
I downloaded Cricut to my crombook 360 but it won’t cut it it show everything but it go to the cut process
I believe you need to be connected to your Cricut via Bluetooth before you can get to the cut screen.
This worked for me but I don’t see the ability to use my cricut Access subscription. Do you know how?
Have you figured out how to scroll down on the canvas when designing on your Chromebook? I think because it’s a mobile application it’s expecting a touch screen by my Chromebook obviously doesn’t do that.
Yes, Create Space is a bit funky on a Chromebook.
I have issues scrolling and moving objects around the canvas.
Most of the time I have to manually resize objects using the size button rather than pinching to resize.
I’m having that same problem! Did u ever figure it out?
I have a chromebook and I’m having extreme trouble unzipping fonts and files and transferring them to the cricut design app
You can’t add fonts on a Chromebook. ?
I haven’t explored it much but I just downloaded the app “fontasy” on my chromebook in google play and you can essentially find a font, type out your words, and save it as an image. It saves as a png file, you can then upload the image in to the cricut app. You will have to remove the white background but when I just tried it the font was nice and crisp (it didn’t have wonky jagged edged lines like some uploaded files)
Obviously not the same freedom as downloading the font but is as close as I’ve gotten so far. Hope this helps!
Great tip! Thank you for taking the time to share!
It’s not completely compatible.
You can only do single color designs.
No other options pops up. That tool that’s supposed to appear on the right hand of the screen is not available. I’ve searched & searches. If there’s some sort of secret you know, please share.
Yes, there are many limitations. The mobile version of Create Space does not have all of the features of the full desktop application.
I have a Chromebook and have only used the Android app. You can use more then one color on a design. You highlight the object and click edit and you and you can change the color there. I wish I could use personalized fonts or free ones but still haven’t figured that out.
Thanks a ton! I could not figure this out. You just made my day with these instructions!!
I just got my Cricut Maker and i have a chromebook. When i download a picture to cut it makes me pick a color and then fills in all my holes. What am i doing wrong?
If you have a white background you will need to use the erase tool to cut out the design.
I just bought a new Asus Chromebook and a pre-owned Cricut Exp Air2. I did download the app through the store. I can work in Design Space with no problems. I can see the machine in my bluetooth, but it will not pair. It will tell me Unknown Error. I also tried on my Android cell phone. It will not connect. I’m using the usb cord that came with the machine. Is the problem the usb cord and I need to purchase the wireless Cricut connector? So frustrated right now.
I connected my Cricut using Bluetooth. I don’t use the USB cable.
I have had intermittent connection issues between the Cricut and the Chromebook.
Sometimes it connects right away and sometimes I have to fiddle with it to get it to work. Restarting the Chromebook is usually my first trick.
I have the most success connecting the Cricut via Bluetooth before I open Design Space. If I can get it to connect directly to the CB, Design Space usually recognizes it.
I can get my Critcut Explorer 2 to connect but within 2 seconds it disconnects by itself. Does the same thing with my phone.
Yep, it can be cranky. I frequently have to restart my Cricut and Chromebook a few times before it will connect.
I have a Chromebook and have Downloaded design space but it shows up very small in my laptop screen. Am I able to enlarge full screen the design space?
Using the full-screen button doesn’t work. I have to manually stretch the window to **almost** full screen.
I keep it at a small screen then go to canvas then make ot full screen. It jumps back to the homescreen but from there on out it will all be full screen. 🙂
I click on bluetooth on my Chromebook but it doesn’t seem to find my Cricut. It just keeps searching.
Yes, I have had the same issue.
Restarting the Chromebook usually helps.
If restarting doesn’t work, I do all the work on my Chromebook then save it. I then go to my iphone, where I also installed the app, and I print it from there instead.
i just got my cricut air 2 and have a chromebook it will not let me make my cut it says print and cut is not supported with andriods
Where are you seeing that error message?
Chromebooks are NOT officially supported, but you can get it to work with a little coaxing.
They are referring to using the Android app on the Chromebook. The error message occurs when you attempt to use a “Print and Cut” project with the Android app. Currently “Print and Cut” is only available on Windows, Mac and iOS, which means android is the ONLY Critcut supported platform that does not support this crucial feature. There is also no reference on their site on whether or not they plan to add it. Without “Print and Cut”, the Android option on Chromebook is useless to a lot of us, as many projects use “Print and Cut”. It is very irritating that companies, like Circut, see Android as an afterthought and only put their efforts into iOS.
How?
locally, I have a Chromebook 2-1 (two in one), and I just flip the tablet from landscape to portrait, then automatically, fills in the screen. I am happy to find out I don’t have to get rid of my Chromebook , now I can go ahead and start my designs, yay!
Thanks for this 🙂 I’m literally on the verge of pressing the ‘buy’ button for the Cricut Explore Air 2 (whilst on my Chromebook) but I’ve downloaded the Design Space for a mess around before doing so and it too says that print and cut isn’t supported. You say you’re able to do it with a little fiddling around – how so? Don’t want to fork out £250 for me not to be able to use it… or worse – have to buy a different laptop! Thanks 🙂
Chromebooks are not officially supported, but I was able to get the Design Space android app to work on my Chromebook.
The post you are commenting on explains how I was able to use Chromebook and Cricut.
this is not true you can’t do print and cut on mobile app. specially on a Chromebook
I have the a Cricut Explore and I am loving it. My question is how do I unzip svg files on my Chromebook…I want to do a Giant Flower Templete but I am having trouble unzipping the file and how do i upload it into the Design Space…if I can??
Hey Greg!
The Files app on your Chromebook should be able to Unzip a folder.
Once you unzip, drag the files into your download folder so that you can upload them to Design Space.
I have the same cricut explore and a chromebook plus. But it wont recognize the cricut with the usb. What can i do?
I have only connected to my Cricut using Bluetooth.
Chromebooks don’t support traditional drivers, so I don’t think it will cut over USB.
i have the cricut explore one and it wont show up in my bluetooth and i dont know waht to do
I am having trouble printing multiple layers from my chrome book can anybody help me??
How do you zoom in Design space with a Chromebook
I have issues with this as well. Pinching with my fingers on my touch screen is the best method.
I don’t have a touchscreen on my Lenovo chromebook – any suggestions? keyboard shortcut?
Curious if you ever found out how to zoom in design space on your Lenovo?
Thanks!
If you want to zoom to a specific spot, put your cursor over that part and put two fingers on the square touch pad below the keyboard. Then, zoom in. If you want to zoom out, put your cursor in a corner and zoom out.
I have a cricut explorer air 2, it won’t connect to my bluetooth on my chrome?? keeps saying failed to connect to circutAIR2-Ba09??
Yes, it can be finicky. I usually need to restart my device and power cycle the Cricut to get it to work.
How long did it take for your bluetooth on your chromebook to connect to your cricut? Mine keeps saying “pairing” and will do that for about an hour before I get fed up. I feel like it should not take this long?
Yes, it can be finicky.
If it doesn’t connect in 60 seconds, restart your Chromebook and try again.
It should work nearly instantly.
I have a chromebook (Asus flip) touchscreen and I am able to use every function in the android circuit app. I’m not sure if there are as many options within the editing menu on the app as there are on the web version but there haven’t been any limitations so far with what I try to do. I can print, cut, draw etc. I have the explore air 2 for a machine. I’d love to try the web version but buying another laptop isn’t an option right now and I have an Android phone. Thankfully there is an app version for chromebook users! 🙂
I have an HP Chromebook I downloaded the cricut design space from the play store but when I go to create an account once I get all my information filled in it only highlights the option to sign in the option to create account it’s no longer clickable and if I just click sign in it just takes me to another page that has the username and password and if you put the username and password in it just it’s just a loop. Is that meaning that the design space is not compatible with my chromebook? it doesn’t seem to be compatible with my Android phone either even though it’s an Android version 9 Motorola.
I think I went to the website (not the app) to create my account.
Once I had an account I was able to log in using the app.
Can this be done with the original machine and a connection cable?
No, Chromebook don’t support Drivers for external devices. You can only connect via bluetooth.
or should i use the mobile app on my iphone and try to connect to my cricut that way
You can connect using your iPhone.
Does anyone know if you MUST use a desk top to be able to use the new cricut maker knife blade? I saw a video that stated this & I dont own a desktop just a chromebook….wanted to know before I invest $ in the knife blade & wood for projects. THNX
The option Flatten does is greyed out in the Android version. Is there anyway to flatten an image on my chrome. This is soooo frustrating.
Thank you so much for this!!!!
I just got a cricut and thought i’d have to sell my google pixelbook (which I love)….I took the pics and posted the ad on facebook. After chatting with a friend she asked me if i even tried downloading the app on my computer and I was like no because I didn’t think about it! Well…i went to google play and searched for it, installed it and it worked!!! I set up my cricut account and cut my first piece. I am not familiar with the design program at all, so I’m hoping i’ll be fine to keep my pixelbook!!!
Awesome! I have a Pixelbook as well….great device. I’m glad it has a new life to explore!
Design Space is the program you use to design your project but states that it is not compatible to Chromebook. I have a Acer and have read of the different methods to go around and use design space but I want to know if there is a update to this as most of the comments are more than 30 days old. I havent opened the box yet and is there another circut machine that does support acer chromebook?
I have an acer chromebook that I have been using with my maker and worked fine until I did the update tonight. I wish I hadn’t done the update now!
I have a chromebook and I cant see all of my tool bar opens, please help
Do you know if there is an app to be able to use a cameo 4 with a chromebook
Mine connects then disconnects. It will not connect to print design.
Same did you find the solution ?
I have been using the design space android app on my chromebook without any problems until I did an update this evening and now the app won’t work. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and turned the chromebook on and off again but nothing is working. It works fine on my phone which did an automatic update last night. Any ideas what I can do?
UPDATE: They have done a new update and it works!
I have question about acer chromebook for programing about Cricut Explore Air 2, Mint best or not ?
How do u download an svg that u bought? I bought one and it will not pull up it says that the file isnt supported i think?
SVG files aren’t natively supported on ChromeOS. I would recommend downloading the file as a PNG (transparent).
I have a chromebook & trying to use design space but I’m really having trouble figuring it out.
I have an Asus chromebook I have down loaded design space I can do everything but cut. I have a cricut explore 1 and it is not blue tooth compatible so I have the usb cord to link them but it does not work.
Hi Destiny,
I don’t believe you can connect your Chromebook via USB. Cricut hasn’t provided the drivers needed to run the cutting machine on a Chromebook.
i have a chromebook lenovo laptop, i use cricut all the time but i cant curve the writing on the app, does anyone know where the curve tool is as i cant curve the writing and i need too. it annoyingly doesnt give me option, if someone could help that would be amazing
The mobile app doesn’t have all of the features the desktop application offers.
I can’t set my lenovo up… it won’t update and sends me back to connect ??
I just bought a Asus Chromebook and the cricut app isn’t available on the google play store
Is this a new Chromebook?
Are you using a personal Gmail account or a work/school account?
Any idea if Cricut is working on a patch that will enable Chromebook users to access all of the tools on our Cricut Design Space screen?
I have the chrome OS but the cricut I have is the cricut explore, it is not bluetooth capable. But I have the cord that connects to my laptop. Can you help me please?
I’m not sure if connecting your Cricut to your Chromebook with a USB cord will work….but you can certainly give it a try!
I have a chrome notebook and also a cricut air 2. When I go to Bluetooth it say connected, if I look at device it tells me connected then changes to not connected. I followed all your steps. I am at a loss do you have any advice. Thank you
Yes, the bluetooth connection gives me trouble from time to time.
When I am having trouble connecting I remove the Cricut from my saved devices, restart my Chromebook, and then reconnect.
This usually solves whatever issue is going on.
That’s the problem in saved devices it says connected and then turns to not connected. I am wondering if it’s the chrome.
Yes, the same thing happens to me. I’ve never been able to figure out why, but I have been able to get it to reconnect.
“forget” the connection and then restart your Chromebook. After restart, re-connect the Air and it should work.
Whenever I look up Cricut design space on google play store it is not there is there another app to use?
here is the direct link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cricut.designspace
Has anyone been able to figure out why the App prompts for a Google Account when opened on a GSuite managed Chromebook? The only option is to press OK and the App closes. The App works perfectly on the Chromebook if I wipe the system and deprovision it. Is there some User/Device Setting in GSuite that needs to be enabled/disabled to let the App load properly?
My experience is that Design Space can’t be used on a managed Chromebook. It only works on personal devices.
That’s what I’ve concluded, thanks for the reply.
Hi. I have a cricut that it work only with a hdmi port (no bluethoot). Did you know if it gonna work with a chromebook ? Thank you 🙂
I’m guessing you mean USB, not HDMI. 😀
I don’t think it will work, but it doesn’t hurt to try.
you are a lifesaver! I just got a cricut and didn’t think this could be done!
I have a Cricut Maker and an Asus Chromebook laptop. It is not a touch screen. I can do most things on my Chromebook using Design Space. However I am unable to scroll up and down on the grid canvas. It only allows me to see the 4 inch mark. Anything past 4 inches I can’t view. Any thoughts?
Yes, Design Space can be a little quirky. I sometimes have to scroll using my touchscreen.
Have you tried clicking and dragging with your mouse?
Sometimes changing the size of the app window helps.
When I connect my cricut air 2, my Chromebook tells me I need to connect my explore 3. I do not have explore 3, what am I doing wrong?
My Chrome book and my Cricut will not pair.
Yup, it can be touchy. I recommend restarting your Chromebook. That usually fixes it.
My chromebook loses bluetooth connection constantly and ruins projects (for some reason you cant use it with the cord). Also, you have to use the cricut app that was clearly designed for a phone and is missing a lot of functionality. Would highly recommend not using a cricut machine with a chromebook.
Yes, the Design Space mobile app is limited compared with the desktop application.
But for those of us who are on Chromebooks, it’s the only option and can do quite a bit.
I’m hoping that there will be a true web-based version of Design Space in the future.
Yes this happens to me also
Everything goes smoothly until I try to connect it to start cutting it it just says, “Connecting…” I know it’s not because Chromebooks are “touchy,” as you’ve responded to other questions, because it’s worked for me before but is now not.
This would be an example of being “touchy.”
My CB and Cricut do the same thing randomly. I haven’t been able to figure out why it won’t connect sometimes.
I usually power-down the Cricut and restart my Chromebook and it magically works again.
Hello, Thanks to this page i decided to keep my cricut and continue using it with my chormebook but after it sat for a few months it now wants a firmware update and I am at a loss. Before i lug this whole set up and beg someone to help me update it on their desktop. Any tips for getting the firmware to update? Of course I contacted Cricut and got the it can work on chromebooks limitedly but we do not support them and you can not update the firmware using one. So frustrating they cant play nice with more devices heck they may sell more.
Hmm. When I connect my Cricut to my CB it does a firmware check and updates as needed.
I haven’t cut anything in a while, so I haven’t seen any new updates. The next time I get it out I will see if my device updates.
Thank you for posting this. Now they updated design space so it works like my apple phone. I was wondering if you could give some advice on setting up a heat press. My design space is on a chrome book. I’m afraid to try anything now
Hi Denise, I don’t have a heat press, so I don’t have any experience with setting it up on a Chromebook. I’m still using the old-fashioned iron!
Hello!
I downloaded a font from dafont.com. How do I upload to cricket?
I don’t believe you can add fonts through the Android app.
How do you switch between cut and draw? I can only figure out how to cut, and can only draw when the space automaticly defaults to it. Thanks for the help!
Also, how do you position items on Chromebook? I can move it in the design space then when I try to ‘make it’ it always puts it back into the top left corner.
Thank you so much for this info! I followed the directions but I am just getting the wheel of death when logging into design space -PLEASE HELP
Sometimes design space gets cranky (technical term!).
I would recommend deleting and re-installing the app.
I have done ALL of these steps and it still will not let me connect my cricut. its on bluetooth, the computer recognizes it and NOTHING!!! Any suggestions or web browsers that i can use? ive tried fire fox and cant use that either….sigh please help.
You can’t use the web version of Design Space. You MUST use the Android app from the Google Play store.
Hello, I have a CB and just purchased the new cricut maker 3, i tried to connect it via bluetooth and followed all instructions and the cricut does not come up on my bluetooth devices for me to connect. I also tried it with the USB cord and nothing, is it the CB or the fact that is the new cricut maker and is not connecting to my CB. I need help am getting frustrated and I have tried numerous times and I have also uninstalled and re-installed the app and I turned the laptop and cricut off and on to see if that works and nothing, can someone please help.
Hi Nanette.
I haven’t worked with the Cricut Maker 3 (I have the Cricut Air 2). There is a chance that the new model works differently than the model that I have.
Your Chromebook can’t communicate with your Cricut using USB (unfortunately). You will need to connect via Bluetooth.
Here are a few things to try:
* I have had issues connecting if my Chromebook is very close to the Cricut. Try moving it a few feet away.
* Try connecting another Bluetooth device to your Chromebook (like a wireless mouse or headphones) to confirm that Bluetooth is working correctly on your Chromebook.
* Try connecting to the Cricut directly from the Chromebook system menu (same place you connect to Wifi), not through the Design Space app.
I hope this helps!
I am able to access Design Space with my Asus Chromebook, but desktop features do not work. Only able to use mobile app. ie. no curved text 🙁
Yes, that is correct.
I have an Acer Chromebook. After downloading the android ap.. the chromebook still gave me trouble in the design site..so I finally resorted to using my android phone to work on the design, copied and reduced my hand cut paper snowflake design, then printed it out and reduced, scanned to a USP uploaded to photos, and am using a stylus made from a q tip and aluminum foil to get rid of background on my tiny phone.. It is working great. Cutting my firsts in vinyl for mounting on plastic disks as ornaments. Thanks for your tips and help.
I have a Samsung Chromebook. The google play app says its installed but it will not let me open it.
Open is not even an option. Any suggestions?? TIA
So u have bought the maker 3 and use my chromebook and my chromebook will not update the maker 3 is there anything I can do to make it update it won’t let me use it till I do.
i just bought the Cricut Maker 3 and connected it to my chrome book (only when it is in tablet mode- not in computer mode by the way). I then uploaded my business logo to print, and it says it “Print and cut is not supported on this app. Save this project and open from a desktop computer to make it.” super disappointed…
Correct.
Like I noted in the post, the Android version of design space does not support all of the features available on the desktop version of the software.
How do I scroll down the DS canvas with a Lenovo Chromebook (no touchscreen)?
I have trouble scrolling too. I usually pinch the screen to move around the canvas.
Hello, my issue is that I have a logo and I’m trying to print and cut using my Samsung Chromebook and Cricut Explore 2. I keep getting error messages saying that it’s not working with android. Can someone please help, I’m begging with tears in my eyes, lol.
If I remember correctly, the mobile version of Design Space doesn’t support print and cut.
Hi there, just wondering if you have figured out a way to connect the cricut mug press to a chromebook? Unfortunately you need to connect via USB cable and not bluetooth. Thank you.
No, sorry. The Cricut doesn’t officially support Chromebooks.
For some reason my cricut will not come up as a Bluetooth name and whaen I do see one it is something with joy and I click it but it disconnects everytime.
Have you restarted your Chromebook? I frequently need to restart before my cricut will connect.
I also have had success connecting the Cricut using the Chromebook bluetooth menu, not the design space connect menu.
When I hit download, I can’t get past “This google account is not yet associated with a device. Please access the Play Store app on your device before installing apps.”
You need to open the Google Play App on your Chromebook. It sounds like you are accessing Google Play from your web browser.
I have a Cricut Maker and a Chromebook 315 by Acer. I’ve tried everything. I ‘ve followed everything here. Still says not compatible. It will not work for me. So now I’m wondering should I sell the Cricut maker that I’ve had for 2 days with all the great stuff I got with it, or buy another computer system. Very disappointed as well as frustrated.
Chromebooks are not officially supported, but I was able to make it work.
If you plan on using your Cricut a lot, I would suggest getting a Mac or PC that can run the full version of design space.
I was able to work in Cricut Design Space in my Chromebook, and to connect with my Joy Device, but when I went to print the final step was to “hit the ‘Go’ button” and no go button appears. I think I need to scroll down to see it, but it won’t let me scroll down. I tried adjusting the size of the design space window but still wasn’t able to make the Go button appear. 🙁
Yes, this happens to me sometimes. Did you try zooming out by using ctrl – That usually works for me.
I have been using Cricut Design Space on my Chromebook, but this weekend I was unable to open the application. I have deleted the app and reinstalled, but still nothing. Any suggestions or ideas?
That’s a good first step! I would also check to see if your device has any updates pending and restart.
I am having the same issue with the Cricut Design Space application not allowing me to sign in on my Chromebook. I have uninstalled and completed any and all updates for the device with a complete restart. The application still will not let me sign in. However, I can sign in just fine on my iPhone.
I just started using a chromebook and downloaded the app for circuit design space and the screen is small. Can you please tell me how to enlarge the screen. I have youtubed and googled searched and can’t figure it out. Please help.. Thank you
As I recall, the “maximize” button doesn’t work, but you can manually expand the window by dragging the edges of the app.
How do I make the circut display screen bigger on my chromebook 615?
I have to manually drag the corners of the app to get as close as I can to full screen.
Hi! I got the app connected to my Chromebook, however, I cannot get it to go full screen. Any advice? TIA
You won’t be able to go full screen. The best you can do is drag the window as large as it will go.
Remember, this is a mobile app that we are running on a laptop, so it’s not really optimized for the larger screen.
I have an hp chromebook and a cricut explore 1. I downloaded the app on my chromebook but it won’t open. I click on it and it kicks me right off. Any tips?
Restart
