How it works

Three steps to a print-ready stencil

01

Upload

Drop in any photo, Procreate export, scanned sketch, or reference image.

02

Stencil

Stencils in seconds. Balanced for thermal printers. Detailed for full tonal crosshatch mapping. No Fills for clean line-only stencils.

03

Print

Set tattoo dimensions, mirror for transfer paper, export PNG, PDF, or print directly.

Real output

Built for artists

From upload to transfer paper

Mirror Mode

Flips horizontally for thermal paper transfer. Applied to export, not just preview.

Remove Background

One toggle drops the background so only your subject goes to stencil. No Photoshop required.

Custom Sizing

Wrist to Back Piece presets. Exact dimensions in inches or cm.

PNG · PDF · Print

Full-res PNG for Photoshop and Procreate. Print-ready PDF. iOS AirPrint supported.

Side-by-side Preview

Original and stencil live next to each other before you commit to printing.

Refine Stencil

Fine-tune darkness, detail, and line weight after conversion. No extra cost, no waiting.
