Step 2: Unzip the files

As of iOS 13 or newer, you can unzip files directly from within the Files app on your iOS device – you don’t have to install a third-party app. Just simply double-tap the file you just downloaded within your Files app. A new blue folder will be created that contains your purchase.

Step 3: Upload your SVG file to the Cricut Design Space app

Once you have unzipped your files, you can upload them to the Cricut Design Space iPhone/iPad app.

Tap New Project > Upload > Browse Files.

Browse to the files you just unzipped (they are in a blue folder!). And tap the SVG file.

Cricut will prompt you to save the file and give it a name. After you’ve done this, tap the image to insert it into your canvas. Your file is ready to use!
