About

Stencilize

Features
Read full description

Stencilize helps tattoo artists move faster from reference image to workable stencil. Take a photo or upload one from your device, generate a flattened black-and-white linework version, then save, print, AirDrop, share, or bring the result into Procreate for final edits. The app is built around a simple three-tab workflow: - Generate from camera or photo library - Review saved generations with before/after comparison - Manage credits, account recovery, support, privacy, and terms Stencilize uses credits because each AI generation has real processing cost. One credit creates one stencil, and credits are purchased through Apple In-App Purchase. Sign in with Apple is optional for account recovery, but recommended if you want credits and synced generations available across iPhone and iPad.
