How It Works

3 simple steps to perfect SVGs

STEP 1

Upload your photo

Drag & drop any photo, reference image, or design. Works with portraits, flash sheets, custom artwork, or client photos. Supports transparent backgrounds.

STEP 2

AI creates clean lines

Our AI analyzes edges and creates crisp, traceable stencil lines optimized for skin transfer. Auto-adjusts line weight for different tattoo styles (fine line, traditional, geometric).

STEP 3

Print & transfer

Download your stencil as SVG or high-res PNG. Print directly on thermal printers (Spirit, Dragonhawk, Inkjet) or standard printers with stencil paper. Ready to transfer and tattoo.
