Choose the JPEG file you want to use for your cut image, from your computer or device.

When it’s uploaded to Cricut Design Space, click on “Simple Image” if it’s a simple image like the one I’ve uploaded here, and then Click “Continue”. 

If it’s more complicated simply click on the appropriate complexity of the image you are working with.

Next choose the “Select and Erase” icon that looks like a wand. 

Then drag your mouse into the white space of your image until the cursor turns into a cross beam, and simply click in the white space.

The background will turn a checkered blue and white indicating it’s now transparent. 

Once your image is ready then click “Continue.

Next click on “Save as a Cut Image”, and then click “Save”.

Choose the saved cut image file and then click “Insert Images”.

The cut image is ready to be resized to fit whatever measurements desired.
