Tattoo Design AI: StencilIQ
Stencil Maker & Transfer
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Photo in. Stencil out.
Stencil IQ turns any photo into a clean stencil outline, ready for thermal printer transfer, Cricut cutting, screen printing, or freehand tracing. Upload a photo, pick your quality, and get a crisp line drawing in seconds.
Built for tattoo artists who need fast stencil transfers. Also built for crafters, woodworkers, screen printers, and anyone who needs to turn an image into clean lines.
HOW IT WORKS:
Import any photo from your camera or library. Stencil IQ reads the image and draws clean, continuous line work from it. Choose Standard or Studio quality. Print straight to a thermal transfer printer over AirPrint, save to Photos, or export SVG for cutting machines.
TATTOO STENCILS:
Upload a reference image or an original design and get a transfer-ready stencil you can print directly to thermal paper. Preview it on skin before you print, so placement is settled before the client is in the chair. Mirror for transfer in one tap. No Procreate skills required.
STENCIL STUDIO:
Describe a design in words and Stencil IQ draws it. Fine line, blackwork, traditional, geometric. No reference photo needed.
CRAFT & CUTTING:
Export true SVG paths for Cricut, Silhouette, and other cutting machines. Turn any photo into a vinyl decal, iron-on transfer, or paper cutout.
SCREEN PRINTING:
Convert artwork into high-contrast stencils ready for screen exposure. Clean line separation with no muddy grays.
WOODWORKING:
Generate scroll saw patterns, pyrography templates, and CNC-ready outlines from any reference photo.
