Upload an image or type text, dial in the threshold, and download a cut-ready stencil. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Start with a high-contrast image — bold shapes cut better than busy detail.
Nudge Threshold until the main shapes read clearly, or press Auto to let the tool pick the statistically best cut-off.
Add a little Smoothing to soften noise, then raise Cleanup to delete leftover specks and pinholes entirely — it removes every blob smaller than the strength you set.
Use Outline mode for line art, or Solid for a classic paint stencil. Mirror flips the design for spray-from-behind or iron-on work.
Switch to From text to type a word, name, or number in a real stencil typeface — bridges included.
PNG downloads a crisp black-and-white raster at your image's resolution — print it, trace it, or import it anywhere. SVG exports a true vector cut path that drops straight into Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, or a laser cutter with no tracing step. Transparent BG keeps only the black areas for overlaying.

Paste an image straight from your clipboard (Ctrl/Cmd + V).
Print opens a full-page, print-ready view of your stencil.

Upload, drag & drop, paste from the clipboard, or switch to From text and type.
Press Auto, then fine-tune Threshold until the subject reads clearly. Smoothing kills speckle.
Solid for paint stencils, Outline for line art, Invert to swap, Mirror for reverse-side spraying.
PNG to print and hand-cut, SVG for Cricut / Silhouette / laser, or Print for an instant paper copy.
PNG for printing and cutting by hand. SVG when a machine does the cutting: it's a true vector path, so Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, and laser software use it directly with no tracing step.
It runs Otsu's method on your image's tone histogram and picks the threshold that best separates light from dark. It's a starting point — your eye makes the final call.
If you cut the stencil and spray from the back of the sheet, or press a heat-transfer, the design must be reversed to read correctly on the finished side.
