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.

Operating the Different Workspaces and Pages
Every section of the software is designed to make it easier for you to design and seamlessly access all your projects. The app features five main sections, accessible from the bottom navigation bar.
The Home Page
This is the first screen after signing in. Here, you can connect the app to your laser engraving machine and manage it using the "My device" section.
To add a new device connection, click on the plus sign at the top right corner of the section.
To reconnect to a previously used device, just click on "My device" and select from the list.
Discover
This section has 5 of the most popular material categories. Tapping on either category will open another page with pictures with related content that you can use as your designs. Below this section, there are features such as "Most Liked", "Popular", and "New". Here you can further explore more designs and find new inspirations for your projects.
The Canvas Workspace
This is the page where you will spend most of your time, designing and editing your design. To start, tap the canvas button to open a blank workspace.

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.
Step 3: Design and Edit
Import an image from the device's storage or generate one using the AI feature on the app.
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.
