STENCIL AI - THE ULTIMATE TATTOO STENCIL GENERATOR
Stop wasting hours on manual tracing. Stencil AI is engineered specifically for professional tattoo artists to transform any photo, portrait, or complex concept into a precise, high-resolution stencil in seconds.
Unlike generic photo filters, our advanced AI understands line weights, skin tonal mapping, and the intricate details required for a perfect thermal transfer.
--- PRO-GRADE STENCIL STYLES ---
Choose the perfect look for your specific tattooing technique:
• OUTLINE: Ideal for bold, simplified designs that rely on clean outlines. Perfect for tribal patterns, lettering, minimalist symbols, geometric motifs, and small tattoos where clarity and boldness matter most.
• STANDARD: Good for basic realism. This style groups shaded areas together for efficient sessions, making it suitable for designs with simple shading that don't require the most precise tracking of light and form.
• HATCHING: The most precise shadow tracker for realism and hyperrealism. Captures every subtle shadow and texture with extreme accuracy, perfect for very complex designs and the most demanding professional work.
--- POWERFUL ARTIST FEATURES ---
• TATTOO MODE: A fullscreen reference viewer built for the chair. Your screen stays awake for the whole session while you flip between stencil, photo, and overlay with one hand — with per-layer brightness, contrast, and opacity that are remembered for every stencil.
• RETOUCH STUDIO: Fine-tune any stencil right in the app — erase, lighten or darken lines, remove solid fills with a tap, and trace over the original photo. Great with Apple Pencil.
• TRUE-TO-SIZE PRINTING: Print your stencil at its exact real-world size. Place, rotate, mirror it and fit several stencils on one sheet, then print with AirPrint or export a size-accurate PDF for any other printer. Every stencil remembers its own print setup.
• BIG PIECE PRINTING: Designs bigger than one page print across several sheets at true size, with trim lines and alignment marks so the parts line up exactly when you tape them together.
• WARP TO THE BODY: Drag grid points to bend the stencil along shoulders, arms and other curves, then print it exactly that way so it lies flat on skin.
• MEASURE ON SKIN: On LiDAR-equipped iPhones, measure point to point right on the body and use the result as your stencil's exact print size.
• 4K RESOLUTION & UPSCALING: Export designs that stay crisp even when resized for full-sleeve or back pieces.
• STUDIO DASHBOARD: Built for team collaboration. Manage multiple artist seats, track usage, and centralize your shop's workflow.
• UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY: Full support for JPG, PNG, WEBP, and TIFF. Process images up to 10MB instantly.
• CROSS-PLATFORM SYNC: Your account and stencils stay synced across iPhone, iPad, and the Web.
