Tattoo Stencil Maker & Creator vs TheStencilMaker

Tattoo Stencil Maker turns a photo, sketch or flash sheet into a clean, print-ready tattoo stencil on your iPhone or iPad. Stencils are made on the device: no account, no upload, no credits, and it works offline. Use any photo you have. Portraits, pets, lettering, your own drawings and client references all work, because nothing is sent to a server for approval. MAKE THE STENCIL • Import from Photos or Files, shoot a drawing with the camera, or drag an image in on iPad • Line mode follows each edge with one clean, continuous line • Value mode for shading levels, Hybrid for lines plus shading • Tune Detail, Intensity, Weight and Smooth on a dial, from bold outline to fine texture and from soft pencil to crisp ink • Background removal cuts out the subject and draws a bold outline around it • AI upscale: small or old photos are enlarged 4× on the device before the lines are drawn, so edges stay smooth at back-piece size (on supported iPhones and iPads) • Peel back the corner to compare the stencil with the original photo • Mirror for transfer, undo and redo, pinch to zoom TOUCH UP • Pen and eraser in four brush sizes to close gaps and clean up noise • Straight line tool that shows its length in millimeters • Original photo as a ghost layer while you draw CHECK THE SIZE • Actual Size view shows the stencil at its true physical size on your screen, with mm rulers • Calibrate with any bank card for exact measurements PRINT AT REAL SIZE • Type the width in mm or inches, or pick a placement: wrist, forearm, calf, thigh or back • A4, US Letter, Legal and A3, portrait or landscape • Large pieces tile across pages with an adjustable overlap and crop marks, so nothing goes missing between sheets • Reprint a single sheet without printing the whole set • 10 mm scale bar on every page to check the printer did not rescale • AirPrint directly, or share a PDF to your thermal stencil printer app or computer • Line stencils save to Photos as pure black and white PNG, up to 4000 px LIBRARY • Every stencil keeps its settings and print size • Favorites and filters by mode; rename and reopen any time FREE AND PRO Try every tool free.
