If you've decided that Cricut Access isn't the right fit for your crafting needs, unsubscribing is a straightforward process. Whether you signed up through the Cricut Design Space app or the Cricut website, you can cancel your membership in just a few steps. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about how to unsubscribe from Cricut Access, including what happens to your projects after cancellation and how to avoid unexpected charges.
What Is Cricut Access?
Cricut Access is a subscription service offered by Cricut that gives members access to thousands of images, fonts, and ready-to-make projects. It's designed for users of Cricut cutting machines who want a steady stream of creative content without purchasing individual designs. Subscribers pay a monthly or annual fee, and the service auto-renews unless you manually cancel before the next billing cycle.
How to Cancel Cricut Access on the Cricut Website
The most common way to manage your subscription is through the Cricut website. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
- Go to cricut.com and log in to your account.
- Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the Subscriptions tab.
- Find Cricut Access and click Cancel Subscription.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.
Once confirmed, your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period. You won't be charged again after that date.
How to Cancel Through the Cricut Design Space App
If you prefer using the Cricut Design Space app on your phone or tablet, you can also cancel directly from there:
- Open the Cricut Design Space app.
- Tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.
- Scroll down and select Account.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Choose Cricut Access and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm your choice when prompted.
This method works for both iOS and Android devices. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, just like when canceling through the website.
What Happens to Your Projects After Cancellation
One of the biggest concerns users have is whether they'll lose access to their saved projects. The good news is that any projects you've already downloaded or saved to your device will remain accessible. However, you won't be able to download new Cricut Access content once your subscription ends. Projects that use Cricut Access images or fonts will still be viewable, but you won't be able to edit or cut them unless you resubscribe.
How to Avoid Unexpected Charges
To prevent being charged for another month or year, make sure to cancel at least 24–48 hours before your next billing date. Cricut doesn't offer prorated refunds, so timing is key. You can check your next billing date in the Subscriptions section of your account settings. If you signed up for a free trial, canceling before the trial ends will ensure you aren't charged.
Contacting Cricut Support
If you run into issues during the cancellation process or believe you've been charged incorrectly, reach out to Cricut's customer support. You can contact them through:
- Live Chat: Available on the Cricut website during business hours.
- Email: Send a message to support@cricut.com.
- Phone: Call 1-800-CRICUT (1-800-274-2888).
Have your account details ready, including your email address and the last four digits of the payment method used for the subscription.
Final Thoughts
Unsubscribing from Cricut Access is a simple process that can be done in minutes through either the Cricut website or the Design Space app. Just remember to cancel before your next billing date to avoid unwanted charges. Your saved projects will remain safe, and you can always resubscribe later if you change your mind. Taking a few minutes to manage your subscription settings can save you money and keep your crafting experience stress-free.
