# CricutCraft Studio

> Create and customize SVG cut files in CricutCraft’s online editor. Browse craft designs, add text, and export SVG or PNG for cutting and printable projects.

CricutCraft Studio runs entirely in the browser, no download, no plugin, and the
studio, shape and text tools, mat layout, mockups and PNG/SVG export all work
signed-out and free. Canonical host: https://www.cricutcraft.com

## What it cannot do

Design Space is the only software that can send cut instructions to a Cricut
machine, and CricutCraft does not bypass that, no third-party tool does. The
workflow is to design here, export an SVG, and upload that SVG to Design Space
to cut. Silhouette, Brother, Glowforge and xTool users go straight from export
into their own software the same way.

CricutCraft Studio is independent software and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Cricut, Silhouette America, Brother, Glowforge or xTool. Product and machine names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here only to describe compatibility.
