How it works

Shoot it. Stack it. Spray it.

Three direct steps from an ordinary photograph to a physical stencil.

Capture

Take a photograph in StencilStack or choose one from Photos. The background is isolated on your device.

Create

Preview three coordinated plates or choose the black plate alone. Switch between Standard and Bold styles.

Export

Save a finished image or export a tiled PDF with the guides needed to assemble a full-size stencil.

Built for physical work

Choose the wall size. StencilStack handles the sheets.

Set artwork width from 10 to 100 cm in precise 5 cm steps. Choose A4 or US Letter and StencilStack automatically lays out the tiled PDF.

Automatic portrait or landscape layout
Registration marks in a 25 mm border outside the artwork
Cut, glue and alignment guidance
Optional hatched output for less solid ink coverage

Your stencil, your way

Simple controls. Useful choices.

Three layers

Create light, shadow and black plates designed to align as one image.

Black plate only

Use one strong black layer when a single-cut stencil is all you need.

A4 or Letter

Build tiled output for the paper size you already use at home.

Print at actual size

Export at a real physical width and assemble the labelled pages.

One straightforward price

Pay once. Make stencils.

A few useful answers.

Everything to get from photograph to assembled stencil.

What type of photograph gives the best result?

Use a clear, well-lit subject with strong separation from the background. Simple shapes and visible facial or object detail produce the clearest plates.

What is the difference between 3 Layers and Layer 1 Only?

3 Layers exports coordinated light, shadow and black plates. Layer 1 Only exports the black plate as a simpler single-layer stencil.

What is the difference between Image and Stencil output?

Image saves the finished artwork to Photos. Stencil creates a tiled PDF at the selected physical width for printing and assembly.

Why does the PDF sheet count change?

The count depends on artwork width, paper size, orientation and whether one plate or all three plates are exported.

How should I print the PDF?

Print at 100% or Actual Size. Do not use Fit to Page, Scale to Fit or another automatic resizing option.

How do I assemble tiled pages?

Follow the CUT and GLUE labels, preserve the printed overlap, and use the registration marks to align matching layers.

How do I change Camera or Photos permission?

Open the iPhone Settings app, select StencilStack, then adjust Camera or Photos access.
