Cricut Bluetooth Connection: Quick and Easy Pairing Guide

 Hey, Cricut enthusiasts! I hope you all are doing well! Today, I have come up with an important topic that all beginners out there might be waiting for. This is nothing but a Cricut Bluetooth connection. As the days pass, I can see Windows and Apple launching their new operating systems. Due to this, it becomes difficult for you as a newbie to understand the methods used to connect Cricut to various devices. Whether it is a computer or mobile device, you will need a solid solution so that you can easily establish a connection between your Cricut and your device.

But you know what? I am a professional crafter with years of expertise in making connections between Cricut and devices. Yes, you heard that right! I have been making crafts with Cricut ever since Cricut launched a Cricut Explore One machine. So what are you waiting for? Let’s dive in to learn how to connect Cricut Bluetooth on a computer and smartphone.

Cricut Bluetooth Connection on Your Windows PC

Most people still use Windows computers, whether Windows 10 or 11. Whatever it is, make sure you are using Windows 8 or later. The previous version, which is older than Windows 8, is not supportable at all. So, if you have Windows 10, you are good to go. Let’s start the connection now:

Note: I know you don’t need a specific operating system to connect to Cricut, but later on, you will be downloading the app; hence, it is a must to prepare in advance.

  1. In the beginning, power on your Cricut machine.
  2. Keep your Cricut on a flat surface and have a distance of 10 - 15 feet from the computer.
  3. Afterward, go to the Start menu option and then to PC Settings. 
  1. After that, you have to go to the option Devices.
  1. Here, Bluetooth must be turned on.
  2. Once you have turned on the Bluetooth, click the Add Bluetooth or other device tab.
  1. Now, select Bluetooth and wait for your Cricut model to be visible on the available list.
  2. Once it is shown in the list, click on the Cricut machine that you are using and then proceed. 
  1. Ultimately, you have successfully connected to your Windows computer.

Cricut Bluetooth Connection on a Mac Computer

Now, for Mac, you will need to use macOS 10.13 or later. Despite this, you must have a CPU with 1.83 GHz; the minimum RAM should be 4 GB. In addition, 50 MB of free disk space is required. Without any much delay, let’s get into the steps below:

  1. Let’s first turn on the Cricut machine by plugging its power cord into the wall outlet.
  2. After that, you will have to place the computer so that it is at least 10 feet from the cutting machine and Mac.
  3. Now, head to the Apple menu and choose the option System Preferences.
  4. Look for the Bluetooth option on your Mac and turn it on.
  1. Once it is on, you have to wait for a while to find your Mac in your Cricut machine.
  2. Once found, click on your Cricut machine from the presented list.

Cricut Bluetooth Connection on an Android Device

When it comes to Android devices, you must use Android 6.0 or higher. You can use both mobile devices and tablets, as Cricut supports both devices properly. Now, let’s shift our attention to the steps described below:

  1. Even for mobile devices or tablets, you need to place your Cricut and computer within 10 to 15 feet of each other.
  2. Then, you should need to go to Settings on your phone.
  3. After that, simply look for the Bluetooth option on your Android phone.
  4. If you find that your Bluetooth is switched off, turn it on. 
  5. When you have turned on Bluetooth, select the name of the Bluetooth module that is visible on the list.
  1. If you are prompted to enter the 4-digit PIN, then type 0000.
  1. Finally, hit the OK button, and your Cricut will be connected.

Cricut Bluetooth Connection on an iOS Smartphone

iOS device users must have iOS 11 or later. However, it doesn’t matter whether you are using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Cricut supports all of them hassle-free.

  1. Switch on your Cricut cutting machine.
  2. Then, place the Cricut at an adequate distance within the range of 10 to 15 feet.
  3. Now, navigate to Settings on your iPhone/iPad.
  1. After that, you will need to turn on the Bluetooth.
  2. Next, begin searching for your Cricut machine.
  3. When you have noticed your machine on the list, select it to pair your Cricut with an iPhone/iPad.
  1. If prompted to enter the four-digit PIN, then you should enter 0000.
  2. Finally, you need to tap the Pair button.

Thank god😃it is done now! So, have you understood anything so far? If yes, you must be ready to establish the Cricut Bluetooth connection on your device. So, if you really understand how to connect Cricut Bluetooth, then my best wishes will always be with you.

So, what are you waiting for? Just dive into your Cricut journey today and create amazing crafts!

FAQs

Question 1: Can I connect my Cricut to my iPhone 15 Pro?

Answer: Absolutely, yes! Cricut supports iOS 11 or later, so you can easily connect it via Bluetooth. Cricut also supports iPad and iPod devices. Since all of Apple’s products are compatible with Cricut, you no longer need to worry about them. Get the Cricut product installed on your iPhone using AppStore and enjoy creating or modifying your designs quickly and easily.

Question 2: Which computer is best to connect my Cricut?

Answer: There is no specific laptop or computer to connect your Cricut product. In simpler terms, you will not need a specific model of your computer to use a Cricut machine. However, you need a computer that has an in-built Bluetooth. Besides, if your computer has a USB port, it will be a plus point as you can connect Cricut via a USB cord.

Question 3: Is connecting a Cricut to a Windows and Mac different?

Answer: Certainly, yes! Both are different computers with different interfaces. Microsoft builds a PC and has its own settings, and all the options given differ from those of Mac. In short, there is a great difference between Windows and macOS; therefore, you can’t follow the same steps for a PC to connect to a Mac system.
