How it works

From Photo to Stencil in 4 Steps

1

Upload Your Image

Drop in any photo and pick a style. Portraits, pets, logos, anything - the layers are cut for you in seconds.

2

Tune Each Layer

One slider per layer: more detail or a cleaner cut. Hold to compare against the original photo.

3

Fix the Loose Pieces

Islands that would fall out are found and highlighted. One tap fixes every layer, or draw your own bridges.

4

Export & Cut

Download print-ready files with registration marks. PDF, PNG, Cricut SVG or DXF - your choice.
