Introduction: Your Creative Hub — The HTVRONT App

We've thoughtfully crafted the HTVRONT App to ensure you can focus solely on designing your projects. Every page and element in this app is designed to help you work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced creator, this app is your ultimate tool for streamlining DIY projects.

One of the standout features of the HTVRONT App is its ability to seamlessly connect with HTVRONT's innovative lineup of machines. From the DTF Printer (D1) to the Vinyl Cutter (iCraft), Laser Engraving Machine (iEngrave), and Paint by Numbers Machine (iPaint), the app allows you to access and control all these devices from one centralized platform. This integration empowers you to switch effortlessly between different creative tools, making your DIY experience smoother and more versatile than ever.

Here's how to download and start using the app as a beginner. Let's unlock the full potential of your creative journey with HTVRONT!

Important: App Name Update

📢 LOKLiK IdeaStudio is now HTVRONT IdeaStudio

In 2026, we officially unified our app branding. The app previously known as LOKLiK IdeaStudio is now HTVRONT IdeaStudio. This is a name change only — everything else remains the same. All features, design tools, device integrations, and project files are fully compatible.

If you see references to "LOKLiK" in older tutorials or community posts, please know that the current version is the HTVRONT App. Both names refer to the same powerful creative tool.

How to Make Your First Project Using the HTVRONT App

Here is how to utilize all the pages to create and cut (with a vinyl cutter) or engrave (with a laser engraving machine) a design using the app.

Step 1: Open the App

Create and sign in to your HTVRONT account, then connect the software to the device using a USB cable or WiFi.

Step 2: Start a New Project

Press the "New Project" button to start working on a blank canvas. The workspace should be the same size as your material and machine bed.

You can also choose a ready-made template from the "Discover" page. Edit the design by adding shapes and text, resizing, moving, rotating, and aligning all the elements in place.

Step 4: Check the Operations for Each Element

Assign roles to each element, either to cut, engrave, or score. Choose a material preset or manually input the settings for the operation.

In the connected machine, load and secure your material, then conduct a frame test.

Step 5: Preview and Send

On the preview page, verify that everything is in order, including the correct image size and orientation (if necessary), and that the order of operations is accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What files does the HTVRONT App support?
You can import both vector and bitmap artwork into the app. It supports SVG, PNG, JPG, BMP, and DXF. For high contrast engraving, it is advisable to use bitmap images. For clean cutting, work with vector files.
Is it possible to use the HTVRONT App offline?
Yes, you can use the app's main functions — such as opening and saving projects, creating and editing designs, and running jobs to connected devices using USB cables — while offline. However, features such as downloading projects and updates from the internet, using AI, and syncing projects all require an internet connection.
Do I need to pay for the designs on the Discover page?
The page has both free and premium designs. The free designs are marked with a "Free" label. You need to purchase the premium designs or upgrade your account by purchasing a subscription from the app.
How can I sync my designs between two devices?
Syncing has to be done online. Start by saving your project in the cloud, rather than in a local folder. On the second device, open the library and look for the cloud projects section. Download and open the synced folder. Any changes made are accessible on both devices.
Why am I unable to preview my work before sending it to the machine?
It is either because you have not assigned any operation to the project, are using an unsupported file format or elements, your file is corrupt or incompatible, or all your layers are hidden or locked.
Is the HTVRONT App the same as LOKLiK IdeaStudio?
Yes! LOKLiK IdeaStudio has been officially renamed to HTVRONT IdeaStudio in 2026. This is a name change only — all features, design tools, device integrations, and your existing project files are fully compatible. If you were using the app under its previous name, you can simply update to the latest version and continue creating without any interruption.

Conclusion

Now you're ready to unlock the full potential of your HTVRONT devices with the HTVRONT App. From uploading your own designs to discovering new inspiration in the Library, the app puts creative control at your fingertips.
