## What is StencilStack?

Turn any photo into a stencil built to make an impact.
StencilStack is made for graffiti writers, street artists, mural makers and anyone who wants to move from phone to paint without spending hours in design software.
Take a photo or choose one from your library. For the strongest results, use a clear, well-lit image with one distinct subject, strong contrast and good separation from the background.
Choose Standard for more detail or Bold for a harder graphic hit. Cut a quick one-layer stencil or build a full three-layer piece with separate light, shadow and black plates. Preview the finished artwork and inspect every layer before exporting.
StencilStack keeps printing practical. Cut areas use thin diagonal hatch lines instead of ink-heavy blocks of solid black, so you can see exactly what needs cutting without draining your printer cartridge.
Choose a finished width from 10 to 100 cm in precise 5 cm steps, select A4 or Letter paper and let StencilStack build the print-ready PDF. Make something small on one sheet or scale it across multiple pages for a larger wall piece.
Larger stencils come ready to assemble:
• 10 mm overlap for a strong join
• Clear CUT and GLUE guides
• Matching alignment marks on every seam
• Page names showing where each sheet belongs
• Registration marks that keep all three layers locked together
• A clear border that keeps registration marks away from the artwork  
Print at 100% or Actual Size - never Fit to Page or Scale to Fit. Automatic scaling changes the finished dimensions and can throw out page and layer alignment.
Trim the sheets, match the marks, tape everything down and get the cans out.
Want the artwork without the cutting? Save the combined image or black Layer 1 directly to Photos.
No subscription. No account. No ads or tracking.
From a fast single-layer hit to a full multi-page stencil, StencilStack handles the fiddly setup so you can spend more time designing, cutting and spraying.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-27

StencilStack has been rebuilt from the ground up. The idea is the same, but turning a photo into a real stencil is now cleaner, quicker and much easier to assemble.
• A completely new stencil engine creates stronger, more usable cut-ready layers
• A new camera and photo workflow gets you from portrait to stencil with fewer steps
• Switch between Standard and Bold, then inspect the combined artwork or each layer
• Large stencils now print at their true finished size with a proper 10 mm overlap
• Clear CUT and GLUE guides show exactly how every sheet joins
• Matching seam marks and page names take the guesswork out of bigger pieces
• Three-layer stencils include aligned registration targets; single-layer exports leave them out
• Improved hatch printing keeps lines thin and consistent while using far less ink
• Save the combined artwork or Layer 1 straight to Photos
• A completely refreshed interface adds smoother transitions and subtle haptic feedback  
It is still StencilStack, but now it feels properly built for the moment the pages leave the printer and the real work begins.
