What to do if your Cricut say project incompatible?


No, a Cricut doesn’t print images, but Cricut software sends the images to your home computer to print an 8.5 × 11 inch material. The Cricut Design Space app lets you disconnect your Cricut device from your mobile device and repair it on your mobile device. If your design exceeds these size or functionality limitations, you may see a “Project incompatible error” when you open the project. Select the specific error message you receive from the links below and follow the recommended troubleshooting steps.

I’ve seen people use this technique to make large car and wall stickers, large wooden signs, and huge paper projects.

Why does Cricut say my image is too big?

If Design Space tells you that the printable image is too large, it means that the image you want to cut is set to Print Then Cut, but the image exceeds the Print Then Crop size limits. For example, if your screen resolution is more than 110, you’ll see that your image is large for printing. If you don’t extend the very edge of the color, you need to be very careful when cutting so that you crop the image right on the line. Now go to the Size boxes at the top of the Cricut Design Space window, make sure the lock is turned on (the lock icon appears closed), and enter the correct width in the W box.
