How to Connect Cricut to Bluetooth on Your Device?

 

If you are trying to connect your Cricut to Bluetooth connection, refer to our blog on how to connect Cricut to Bluetooth on your device.

Do All Cricut Machines Have Bluetooth Connectivity?

Not all Cricut machines come with Bluetooth connectivity. There are only two models- Cricut Explore and Cricut Maker, which has built-in Bluetooth. The older Cricut models don't have built-in Bluetooth, and you will be required to purchase a Bluetooth adapter in order to connect your machine.

You will need to select a device to connect to your device via Bluetooth. Also, download Design Space, a software that allows you to create and upload designs to make your projects. Thankfully, your Cricut machine is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. However, each device should have Design Space installed in order to access the Cricut machine.

How to Connect Cricut to Bluetooth?
