How to Cancel Cricut Access in 2026 — Your Machine Still Works Without It
Updated February 2026 • 4 min read
✅ Your Cricut machine works without Cricut Access. The subscription only gives access to the design library and some premium features. You can still upload your own designs, cut, and create without paying monthly.

- Downloaded fonts remain on your device

💡 The 2023 Cricut Controversy
In 2023, Cricut tried to limit free users to 20 uploads per month — making the machine nearly useless without a subscription. After massive backlash, they reversed the decision. But it shows the direction they're headed: making the subscription feel essential for hardware you already bought.
