Hello Daydreamers!
In today’s tutorial, you’re going to learn how to pair your Cricut and Install Cricut Design Space to your Computer or Phone. I will be covering instructions for Mac, Windows, Android, iOS.
No matter what device you have, I got you covered!
If you have an older Laptop, Mac, iPhone, or Android device (4/5+ years), make sure to check out to see if you have all the requirements to install the software.
In the past, Cricut used to have an “Online” version, and you needed to have Internet. Once you download the App, you can use it offline from your Desktop and iOS device (NOT ANDROID).
There are three vital steps when connecting and setting up your Cricut no matter what device you have.
- Installing Design Space App
- Connecting the machine to your device
- Setting Up your machine with your Cricut Account.
The first two steps look different on each device because each operative system is different. However, pairing your machine to your Cricut Accounts will be quite similar because you’re using the same interface.
Since I don’t want to be repetitive, I will have screenshots for each device (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS) for the first two steps. Then I will have a third step that will join the other two steps.
Tip: Once you are done with the first two-steps on your device, click on “Jump to Setting Up Machine to Cricut Account,” so you don’t have to scroll to the end.
Install Design Space and Pair to Windows Laptop/Desktop Computer
Before the process starts, make sure your Cricut Machine is on and 10 to 15 feet away for your device.
If using a USB cable, you need to be closer.

Connect Cricut to Windows PC
Pairing your Cricut with a Windows operative system is quite easy!
There are two options:
- If using any of the Explore or Maker machines, you can connect the USB cable to your laptop at any time without doing any extra steps.
- If your machine and computer are Bluetooth capable (Explore Air, Explore Air 2, Maker, Joy), you can connect them via Bluetooth.
Important: The Cricut Joy machine only connects via Bluetooth. Also, if you have a Cricut Explore One, you will need a Bluetooth adapter to be able to use it with your PC via Bluetooth
To pair your machine via Bluetooth, you need to open the “Windows Settings.”
If you don’t know where to find them, simply type in “Bluetooth” on the search box next to the “Task Bar.”
Once on “Settings,” go to “Bluetooth & other devices” and click on “Bluetooth or other devices.” For this to work, your Bluetooth needs to be On.
A small window will pop up. Select “Bluetooth.”
Select your Cricut machine (remember it has to be on).
If you are asked for a PIN, type in 0000 (no matter what machine you have) and click on Connect.
That’s it!
Your Cricut is now paired to your computer and ready to use.
