Make Graffiti Stencils From Any Photo

The automatic island bridging is the key feature — it detects pieces that would fall out of your stencil and adds thin bridges to hold everything together. This means your stencil stays in one piece when you cut it, which is essential for spray work.

Yes! For that classic one-layer Banksy look, use a single layer with high contrast. Crank up the threshold to get bold black-and-white separation. The tool will bridge any floating islands automatically.

Add 2-4 layers and assign each one a different colour. Cut each layer from separate card stock, then spray them one at a time using the alignment marks to register each layer perfectly.

For spray painting, thick card stock (300gsm+), acetate sheets, or thin plastic work best. For one-time use, even heavy paper works. For reusable stencils, go with mylar or acetate.

Yes. Export as SVG or PDF and scale to any size. For large murals, you can tile the stencil across multiple sheets. The vector formats (SVG, DXF) scale infinitely without losing quality.

Portraits are one of the most popular graffiti stencil subjects. The multi-layer separation captures shadows, midtones, and highlights as distinct layers — giving you realistic portrait stencils for spray work.
