From photo to printed stencil

  1. Pick a photo or your own line art. Reference photos become clean outlines. Line art you already have is cleaned and sized for free.
  2. Set the real size. Width in millimetres or inches, line weight in mm, mirror for transfer paper.
  3. Check it on skin. Lay a bank card next to the spot in a photo, and see the stencil at its true size on your body.
  4. Print. A4 or Letter PDF with a 50 mm scale bar and crop marks. Large designs tile across pages.

Built for the print, not the picture

True size

Every export is checked against a 50 mm bar, so you can confirm the printer did not scale it.

Mirror and weight

Flip for transfer paper and choose the line weight in millimetres.

Tiled pages

Designs larger than one sheet split into pages with overlap and crop marks.
