Sometimes you find the best image in Cricut Design Space, but there is the number, name, or greeting you want to edit to make it perfect. Cricut got it and introduced Editable Images. Cricut has updated and included plenty of images in the Design Space software and made those images editable so that users can customize a different name, switch up the sentiment, or change the occasion. 

Editable Images in Cricut Design Space

Editable Images are images with personalization in mind. Change any word to fit the occasion, add family names, and even include an inside joke to enhance its relevance for you. After adding an Editable Image to Cricut Canvas, an editable text highlighted in blue will appear. Once you edit your desired image, the highlight will disappear. Besides the text, users can also edit almost anything in an image by utilizing the layer panel. Change the size, move the image elements, change the color or anything you wish to.

Finding Cricut Editable Images

The simplest method to find the Editable Images in Design Space is to tap on the Editable image tab on the left-hand side of the Cricut Canvas or choose the Editable Text filter option in the Images section. 

Also, you can find Cricut Editable Images beside other images in the Design Space software; search for the Editable Image tab at the bottom and the blue highlighted text in the image itself. When you hover the mouse over the top Editable Image tab, you will find a badge that reads this image is editable. 

Pricing for Cricut Editable Images

When you search through the plenty of Editable Images in the Cricut library, you might notice that each has different costs. All the Editable Images are available in Cricut Access subscriptions, beginning from $0. 

If you haven’t subscribed yet, don’t worry, individual Editable Images are accessible to buy with varying costs. Different designs have different costs, depending on the images, fonts, and shapes you use. Non-subscribers can already own additional images or fonts in the Cricut Design Space account to decrease the cost of the Editable Image and prevent overcharging. 

For instance, if the Editable Image adds a premier font, the initial cost will add the license for including this font to your Cricut library. If your Design Space account already consists of that font, the cost will decrease so that you don’t have to pay for the font you already have. If you do not have the premier font but switch to the one you already have or a different one, the price might change; you will know the updated cost when you check before cutting an image. 

What to Edit in Cricut Editable Images

You can change any in Editable Images. If the Editable Image adds an editable text, a highlight will appear on every text in the editable image. Do not worry; this blue highlight will disappear once you edit your text. Double-tap on the desired text to add edit mode and write the new text like when you generally include text in the projects. If the text is long to fit, change the font size to make it smaller. 

Need to wrap the text? Move to the Alignment menu and choose the Wrap On option. With the text on a single line? Navigate to the Alignment menu and hit the Wrap Off tab.
