Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of dog photo works best?
A clear, well-lit photo with the whole face visible and minimal background distraction. Side-on or three-quarter portraits are easiest - the tool finds the silhouette quickly. If your dog is dark and the background is also dark, use a brighter photo or crop in close before uploading.
Will it work with my mixed-breed mongrel?
Yes. The stencil maker doesn't care about breed - it works from the shape and contrast of the photo. Mixed breeds, rescues, and one-of-a-kind looks all work the same way as pedigrees.
Can I make a stencil of just the silhouette?
Yes - drop the layer count to one and crank the threshold and you'll get a clean black silhouette outline of your dog, perfect for car decals, vinyl stickers, or single-colour spray jobs.
Can I print it big enough for a wall mural?
Yes - the wall-size tiling feature splits the stencil across multiple A4 or letter pages so you can spray a life-size dog on a wall. Tape the pages together, cut once, and spray.
Is this good for memorial pet portraits?
Lots of customers use it exactly for that. The multi-layer separation captures the personality and detail of the photo while making it possible to print, frame, paint, or tattoo. Many use the SVG export to get a small commemorative tattoo of a dog they've lost.
Can I use the result on a Cricut for vinyl decals?
Yes - export as SVG and open it directly in Cricut Design Space. Each layer becomes a separate cut, so you can make multi-colour vinyl portraits or single-layer silhouettes for tumblers, car windows, or t-shirts.
