The AI reads your art and isolates only the lines that matter. Shading, color, and noise disappear, original structure stays intact. - Fine tune before you print. Thicken lines, erase detail, reinforce outlines right in the app. Full control without opening another program. - Export ready for transfer. Download PNG or PDF sized to your stencil paper. Send straight to a thermal or inkjet printer. MORE THAN A STENCIL TOOL Create tattoo designs from text, mix references into one piece, try a design on skin, and refine with plain language. Everything you need to go from idea to needle. BUILT BY A TATTOOER Decalker was born inside a working studio in Manhattan, after years of solving the same problem by hand before every session. If it works for that, it works for yours. PRIVACY Your uploads are processed and deleted from the server within minutes. We do not train any AI on your work. Your authorship stays yours.
