Cricut Design Space allows you to cut or draw images up to 11.5” x 23.5” and print then cut images up to 6” x 8.5” (Print then cut sizing may vary depending on your browser, Chrome can only size print then cut at 5.5” x 8”).

The bounding box around the image defines the image size. Width is the length of the widest points in the horizontal direction while the height is the length of the further points on the vertical direction. When an image is rotated, the width and height remain constant.

When sizing an image, you can keep the size ratio constant so that the length and width stay proportional, or you can size the length and width individually.

There are two options for sizing an image with a constant size ratio which keeps the image proportions.

Option 1: Size the image using the bounding box

Step 1 Select the image so that the bounding box appears.

Step 2 Click the arrow icon on the bottom right corner of the bounding box, and drag it diagonally to make the image larger or smaller. As you make changes, the image size will be reflected in the gray box next to the arrow icon.

Once image sizing is complete, the Edit Panel will update to reflect the new size of the image.

Tip: If the lock icon on the bottom left of the bounding box is closed; as you drag the arrow the ratio between height and width will remain constant and the image will keep in proportion.

Option 2: Size the image using the Edit Panel for specific size requirements

Step 1 Select the image so that the bounding box appears. Once your image is selected, you will see the size reflected in the Edit Panel.

Step 2 Click in the box next to Width or Length and type in your specific size. You also can use the arrows to increase or decrease the size in 0.1” increments. The closed lock icon indicates that the width and length will change at a constant size ration keeping the image in proportion.

Option 1 Size the image using the bounding box

Step 1 Select the image so that the bounding box appears.

Step 2 Click on the lock icon on the bottom left corner of the bounding box. The bounding box will indicate that you can change the sizes individually. The lock icon will appear to be unlocked, and the arrow icon for sizing the image will change to green.

There are two ways to size an image in one direction only, changing the image proportions.

Step 3 Click on and hold the green arrow icon while you drag it in any direction. Drag the icon directly left or right to change only the width; or drag it up and down to change only the height. You also can drag the icon diagonally to change that height and width at the same time without holding a constant size ratio.

Option 2 Size the image using the Edit Panel for specific size requirements Step 1 Select the image so that the bounding box appears. Once your image is selected, the size is show in the Edit panel.

Step 2 Click on the lock icon under size in the Edit Panel. The lock icon will now appear to be unlocked, and will indicate that you can change the length and width individually.

Step 3 Click in the box next to Width or Length and type in your specific size. You also can use the arrows to increase or decrease the size in 0.1” increments. The open lock icon indicates that changes to width or height will change independently.
