Cricut corporate has just announced it is completely backing off its original intention to limit the free version of Design Space software with 20 uploads per calendar month.
March 18, 2021
Dear Cricut Community,
On Friday, March 12, we announced an intention to limit the number of personal images and patterns that members can upload to Design Space without a Cricut Access subscription. We updated this plan on March 16 and shared that we intended to study the matter further. My team has spent the week listening, learning, and taking in a lot of feedback. Not every decision we make is perfect, but we take every opportunity to learn and get better.
So, we’ve made the decision to reverse our previously shared plans. Right now, every member can upload an unlimited number of images and patterns to Design Space for free, and we have no intention to change this policy. This is true whether you’re a current Cricut member or are thinking about joining the Cricut family before or after December 31, 2021.
We care deeply about every single member of our community, and it’s your creativity that keeps us motivated, excited, and passionate every day about what we’re building here at Cricut.
Thank you for your candor and your commitment to our company and community. We appreciate you.

Did not go far enough. You spend 300 on a machine and then limit that person to only uploading 20 items a month… That is not right. I was actually about to purchase one then this happened. Now I am looking at the silhouette cameo 4.
