Making a tattoo stencil?
Try our AI Tattoo Transformer — it turns any image into a clean, skin-ready tattoo stencil.
Upload any image (JPG, PNG, SVG, PDF, AI, EPS and more), and the stencil maker converts it into a clean black & white stencil. The Auto mode picks the best conversion method for your image, and structural bridges are added automatically so the stencil holds together. Then download it as SVG or PNG.
Bridges are the small ties that keep enclosed parts of a design — like the middle of the letter O — attached to the sheet. Our physics engine analyzes the material stability of your design and places the minimum bridges needed, evenly spaced, so nothing falls out when the stencil is laser cut.
Trying is free, even without an account: you can upload up to 4 images a day, compare all conversion methods and see previews and bridges. With a free account you can upload more than 4 images a day and download the low-res PNG for free. The final SVG or HD PNG costs 10 credits, once: a downloaded stencil stays unlocked forever.
You get a production-ready SVG — a vector file that scales to any size and works with laser cutters, cutting plotters and CNC machines — plus a high-resolution PNG. Both include a frame with rounded corners, ready to cut.
Yes. You can cut the downloaded file yourself on any laser cutter or vinyl plotter, or order your stencil laser-cut in PET, wood, acrylic or metal directly through Cuttalo.com.
