ANDâ¦as I said at the very top of this post: The Cricut Design Space software is WEBPAGE based. You MUST have Internet connection to use it or you cannot access any images including your cartridge images. You must use the Cricut Design Space software to create anything with the Cricut Explore. (This is very unlike the Silhouette Cameo software which can be used without Internet connection. You cannot purchase items from Silhouette without Internet but you CAN design and cut.).
