I've been asked for this a million times - so, here are the steps to turn your Cricut designs into a PNG with a transparent background! I'm starting with stickers I've already designed and flattened. You can watch some of my tutorials on this channel.

IMPORTANT:
1. Watch the full video or you might miss why each step is important.
2. BE PATIENT! These steps might feel a lot the first time, but soon it will become second nature.
3. This isn't the only way! But I've found that other methods result in a low-quality PNG. THIS method results in a clean, high-quality PNG of your design that you can share or sell with others!
As we can't export from Cricut Design Space as a PNG or SVG, these steps will help you to save a Cricut PNG instead.
