Made for transfer paper
The stencil is pure black on white with specks removed, so it transfers cleanly to thermal or inkjet stencil paper. Erase stray lines before you export.
Real size, not "about right"
The width you set in centimetres is the width of the ink on paper. The same number drives the try-on preview, the stencil and the PDF, and every PDF carries a 1 cm check square.
Reference to stencil for artists
Clients bring screenshots. Upload a reference you have the right to use, clean it into lines and print it at the agreed size — no tracing.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why must I print at 100%?+
The PDF is drawn at true physical size. "Fit to page" rescales it. Every PDF has a 1 cm check square — measure it with a ruler before transferring.
Which paper does the stencil work with?+
Thermal stencil printers and inkjet stencil paper both work. Print the PDF at 100% and test the check square first.
Is the free stencil watermarked?+
Yes. Free exports carry a SAMPLE watermark. A paid plan removes it.
