Link your Gypsy to your Cricut Explore

Cricut Design Space™, the online software for Cricut Explore™ machines, is compatible with all images that have been linked to a Cricut Craft Room® account—including images on a Cricut Gypsy™ device. 

If you have already linked your Cricut Gypsy™ to Cricut Craft Room®, all images on it are automatically available in Cricut Design Space™. If you haven’t linked your Cricut Gypsy™ to Cricut Craft Room®, just follow the steps below to do so:

Gypsy Linking

2. Make sure you have the latest version of Cricut Sync (Download at www.cricut.com/home/support/cricut-sync)
3. To start the linking process, you will need to update your Cricut Gypsy device. Connect it to your computer and power it on. Cricut Sync will open and you will see an update screen.

   3. The update will be complete in about 5 – 10 minutes. 
   4. You’ll be required to restart your Cricut Gypsy device during the process.
   5. At the end of the update, you’ll see a screen showing the update to a firmware version of 0232 and a content version of 0249 or higher.
4. Close Cricut Sync, but leave your Cricut Gypsy device connected to your computer.

Linking your Cricut Gypsy™ device to the Cricut Craft Room® design software will not affect any projects or cartridges.

Subscription images will not be added to or available on your Cricut Gypsy device.
