y'all hold the phone no I'm serious this is not a drill Cricut has put together an amazing Cricut update that we are going Bell and share everything we know about this brand new update but it is going to require your phone and it is going to be unbelievable I am so excited for this brand new update where you're finally going to be able to turn those photos into amazing multi-layer svgs turning pngs into multi-layer svgs with ease but again it's requiring the phone for this beta version now I'm going to break down everything we know about this brand new update but if you're brand new to the makers learn Channel hi I'm Tanner and we teach you everything you need to know about your cricet machine so go ahead hit the Subscribe button because we're posting videos like this every single week now we are so excited for this brand new feature that has just been dropped and released to Beta um on the Cricut IOS and Android app this is such a fun new feature that you're absolutely going to want to listen up and let me break down everything we know about this so when it comes to turning your photos or your PNG cut files listen up if you have any print then cut files you've been wanting to turn into a amazing multi-layer SVG to use in a different format pictures from the web IM from makerson learn.com that may be a little more um sophisticated and not have SVG compatiable file types this update is everything you want to know about so that you can have success with your next cricket project I've always seen in over a decade of using Cricut people wanting to know how to take photos from their phone and turn it into svgs and this update is for you now let's address the elephant in the room even before we dive into how to use it and it usually is Tanner why is this not available on desktop first I have a really neat workaround I'm going to show you to make it super simple for how you can use your desktop for most of it and then do the final step on your iOS or Android device so don't get too worried about it number one and number two my suspicion is that you are going to see this and B it today on the IOS app but then eventually as they work out the Kinks as they see how this goes they're go unveil it to the desktop app because guys this is a feature that is going to become standard now another elephant in the room I want to address is yes this is a Cricut access feature you have to pay for Cricut access to have access to this feature and I'm actually really glad to see more money going into development of resources and skills and tools that they're providing and developing for users like us so that we actually have a reason to potentially invest in Cricut access when needed to have the ability to use a tool like this are you ready to see it come together in real time let's go ahead and dive over to the IOS app so we're over here on my IOS app the first thing I need to let you guys know about is that it will prompt you to update your app this is a brand new update that you want to have and you can see if we go over and search Cricut you will see or should see I already updated mine so I don't see it anymore it just says open but it will let you know that it is version 5.56 do0 this literally was just updated 2 hours ago with this brand new update so we're right here reporting it to you in real build time as we've played around with it once or twice and now we're creating this amazing updated video to teach you all about this feature called convert to layers Cricut says yes you read that right now you can instantly convert an uploaded multicolored image into separate layers once you upload the image select multi multiple layers then select how many layers separated by color you want to work with just to let you guys know you can work with up to nine layers what this is going to be awesome anyone can preview the results of the convert to layers feature to add it to the canvas you will need Cricut access subscription to do so so this is a great thing to have in your back pocket and I don't want anyone here to be discouraged by this I still want you to watch this full tutorial through even if you don't have access and want to never ever have access this is just good to know in case there are times that you are going to want to use this feature you could get a trial of access to use this feature you could pay for one month to get this feature and do it to a ton of images and then cancel later I'm not saying I'm super pro Cricut access what I am saying is that you need to be aware of how this update affects you to have it in your tool belt even if you're not go buy it right now all right so let's head back over to the Cricut deson space mobile app now if you're like me I have not been using the IOS app very frequently over the past couple of years so if you have a joy rather you may be using it often so this will be a great feature for those Joy users but if you're getting back up to speed on using design space on an iOS device I will let you know know that you may want to consider using your iPad rather than your phone so that you can see it better that's just a great PSA so you can be aware to make sure that if you want the best experience if you have a larger device feel free to do so as well as our Android friends you could do this on any Android tablet especially if it has a camera or you can send pictures over to it all right who's ready to dive in and take a look at this brand new feature all right what we're going to do is we're going come right down here to the upload area so just like in design space we have this little area right here and we're going to go to upload now what I'm going to show you is two different ways one we are going to choose an image from our actual device meaning our actual camera roll all right the second way is showing you how how to use that uploaded image area that so you could upload an image to design space from your desktop and then do this feature on the IOS app Remember earlier where I talked about there's a workaround the workaround would be to upload the image that you would like to work with if it's on your computer and you don't want to go through the hassle of putting it to your phone airdropping it texting it emailing it all of that you can upload that PNG or that image like normal to design space all right on your desktop when you're ready to work with it you can go to upload and you have four options here I'm going to let you guys know the browse files you probably will not use often so you can ignore this one but we'll start at the top take a photo if you'd like to take a photo of something select from photo library which is what we're going to use today in our example next you have browse files but this last one is how you can actually work with images that you've already uploaded to Cricut design space that you don't have on your phone but they're already uploaded to your Cricut account so you could click open uploaded images and you can see I've uploaded 7500 images and I could search any ones that I have here and start picking from these images so I could go through and see which ones I want to work with and I can search them to find old images and everything like that that's how you're going to work with images you've uploaded in the past but what we're going to do today is I'm going to show you how you can upload an image to Cricut that's on your camera roll all right your camera roll is built into your phone so it's already there and it's organized from latest to oldest image so knowing that we will go to upload and we are going to select from photo library all right this is an image that I was able to text myself that I had downloaded from the makers going to learn website and we're going to turn a basic PNG file that is uploaded and on my photo library my camera roll and we're going to turn it into a beautiful multi-layer image right before our eyes are you guys ready let's dive in so select from photo library and you can see right here we have the the image so we are going select this PNG image now this applies for photos that you have of other people this applies for anything you want to use if this is a photo that you were uploading of someone you will want to use the background remover and it's automatic and included in Cricut access you will remove the background now as you can see behind us we have a transparent background so it's not needed so we can just click X on that but if you are working with a picture that you would like to automatically remove the background just click apply and you'll have that feature be applied to it which is super neat okay so what we will do now is have the ability to crop our image we have the ability to go down to the erase tool the select tool we could take take colors out we could ER erase by like drawing or we could simply crop the image with makers going to learn pngs you don't have to do any of that they're all ready to go to the next step okay so we'll click apply this my friends is where the magic is going to happen this is the new feature so typically you only have two options you could do a single layer where it'll cut an outline just basic color one layer or you could do a flat graphic most flat Graphics are things like printable stickers um and any sort of printable material that's what we've done in the past for print and cut with a home printer but what Cricut has just rolled out two hours ago hot off the press is this beautiful new multi-layer feature and my mind is still blown I still cannot believe this is a feature that they have available to us and I am just like dying to call cricet and be like hey how much longer till this is on the desktop this is going to change the game of cricket because honestly just from our pre like prep of this video within the last hour We're very impressed with how well it's working okay so I think you're going to be really impressed by this I think this is technology I haven't even seen in many other um websites something my team and I are go research is other websites that we could do this for free possibly I'm not sure but I've been around using Cricut for a very long time and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it so I'm super super excited to share this with you are you ready so we're going to use the multi-layer beta and we're go press next and here's where it gets good good y'all so it's very simple you can see the colors changed back here a little bit but what you can see is that we've selected clip art it already knew it was clip art which I think it's so smart but if it was a photo and it thought it was clip art just click photo we're going to leave it as clip art and then I love that it's already thinking about the output style now for most of us we are going to want stacked Styles this is where it's perfect for paper Crafters vinyl layers heat transfer vinyl layers card stock all of those and very rare instances you would want to do a sliced sliced is just not as easy as just stacking up layers and really the Stacked feature is going to allow more room for failure which is awesome and the one example it gives if you need sliced is for infusible ink projects all right so all of this looks good we're going to move to the layers feature boom it is going to allow you to go from one color all the way down to nine colors and the best part is you don't have to select one without seeing the preview so I'm going to select somewhere down in the middle so say I want six six colors I think this makes sense for the image and what I can recommend you to do is count how many different colors it is prior and just know that you could only do up to nine so if you're like oh there's only five or six colors anyway that's fine it's just nice to know how many so after you have selected six or seven you can scroll this down and kind of take a look at your image which I think is really impressive and it looks beautiful I love how complex it is I love how many colors it is this is absolutely amazing right and you can decide if you wanted an extra shade or two you really want to look at the options here and be like is there enough like colors and do I have enough of that material I think it's a really good question to ask yourself so I'm looking at the seven layers and I'm like okay I love that mint color I love the pink I love the green love that pink but I really don't love these two Reds so in the future I may you know when we get closer to cutting I may just cut both of those layers out as one or I may color sync it in the future which is fine but for ease today I'm think I'm going to go down to six and I'm going to see what that looks like so notice we went down to six and it looks pretty similar not much changed at all so then it makes me wonder like what if I could cut this in five layers wonder what that would look like let's go down to five and then scroll down and it still looks really good so then it makes me wonder what would happen if I went down to four and you can see some things have shifted so let's preview it guys it still looks almost exactly the same at four layers versus seven so having you know seven layers may not always get you the thought and the benefit that you think it would so I think let's just keep going and see how few layers we can get it and it still look good let's drop down to three three basic letters wow it still looks good y'all this is crazy what if what would happen if you you go down to two Okay now we now we've broke it if we do one layer basic if we do two layers if we do two layers no this is not given the vibe um but look what happens with three three and up for this particular SVG is exactly what it needed which is beautiful a I love love love it how about it so we're go select three before we do that before we go to next you can check advanced and you can make sure that you have the ability to smooth textures round the borders this image does not have necessary needs for this but let me tell you what does if you're uploading a photo and we'll have more like Advanced Training on how to upload photos and training on how to work with photos coming in the near future I just wanted to get this video out here to you for you to start playing with it and have this Avail available in your tool belt right so these features right here are going to be great when you're uploading a photo maybe a picture of your grandma you know an older picture that needs some you know help simplifying reducing noise and smoothing it out all right smooth will be really nice for those photos because it'll make the cut lines better and not so Jagged if you have really jaggedy cut lines it's not go cut as well and it'll take you a lot longer so if you run into that I would go to the highest setting and see if that will clean it up all right so let's go ahead now and press next you will now be required to name this image so we'll just name it Proverbs Proverbs 3113 so then I could search this since it's go be in my uploaded images and I'll have it available so let's click upload and boom it's right here in design space love it love it love it we'll now be able to go over to layers and look we have our three basic Cuts so we already know this is now pretty much an SVG that we have created and it is beautiful so I'm going to size it and then I will be able to press make it and now you can see you have your first layer right here this is your base layer so you can see it didn't um just cut the only the areas that is going to show Pink it's is going to be stackable so I'd cut this layer first this would be my bottom layer and then this is my second layer so this goes on second and then once I cut my third layer this goes on third to bring my entire project together it is that easy to turn a PNG a um photo any sort of image on the internet and turn it into an amazing multi-layer SVG file that is now able to be a multi-layer image in design space I refer to it as an SVG simply because it gives SVG like qualities but as you guys know with Cricut unfortunately we cannot export this so we're technically not making svgs but we're getting the same result as having an SVG which I think is what everyone needs to focus in on that you're getting SVG like results from photos pngs and so much more I'm seriously so obsessed with this update and I think you will be too so y'all I need to know right now in the comments down below what do you think
