Photo To Outline - StencilIQ

Photo in. Stencil out.

StencilIQ converts any photo into a clean stencil outline — ready for thermal printer transfer, Cricut cutting, screen printing, or freehand tracing. Upload a photo, adjust the threshold, and export a crisp line drawing in seconds.

Built for tattoo artists who need fast stencil transfers. Also built for crafters, woodworkers, screen printers, and anyone who needs to turn an image into clean lines.

HOW IT WORKS:
Import any photo from your camera or library. StencilIQ uses edge detection to extract clean outlines from the image. Adjust threshold and contrast to control line weight and detail. Preview the stencil in real-time. Export as PDF or PNG — ready for thermal printers, cutting machines, or manual tracing.

TATTOO STENCILS:
Upload a reference image or original design. StencilIQ creates a transfer-ready stencil you can print directly to thermal paper. Clean lines, adjustable detail, no Procreate skills required.

CRAFT & CUTTING:
Export SVG-compatible outlines for Cricut, Silhouette, and other cutting machines. Turn any photo into a vinyl decal, iron-on transfer, or paper cutout.

SCREEN PRINTING:
Convert artwork into high-contrast stencils ready for screen exposure. Adjustable threshold gives you control over halftone detail and line separation.

WOODWORKING:
Generate scroll saw patterns, pyrography templates, and CNC-ready outlines from any reference photo.
