Every feature designed for the studio workflow.

Three Stencil Methods

Editable Outline Stencil lines, high-detail Photocopy ink, or directional Fade Out Dots.

Live Sliders

Detail, darkness and line weight redraw the stencil on your photo while you drag.

Zoom & Over Photo

Zoom up to 500% and lay the stencil over the source photo to check every line sits where it should.

Draw & Erase

Add or remove lines by hand after any automatic effect, with full undo and redo.

Transparent Export & Multi-Page Print

Save a transparent stencil PNG, or split a large piece across several printer pages.

Stays On Your Device

Photos are processed in your browser. Your client’s reference never gets uploaded.
