Stencil generator and editor all in one platform

No need to limit yourself to style presets. VEED's stencil creator gives you prompt-based control over your output. Upload your image and describe what you need, whether that's a black and white stencil, a high-contrast outline, or bold edges for cutting. Choose from multiple AI models, and generate stencil art for tattoo transfers, craft projects, and printing. Download your design or bring it into our video editor to create animated graphics.

How to create a stencil from a photo:

Step 1

Upload your image

Upload the photo you want to convert to a stencil. Clear subjects with good contrast work best. You can upscale your image first if you're working with low-resolution photos.

Step 2

Describe your stencil style

Choose an AI model and describe the line art you want to see. You can request a black and white stencil, a high-contrast outline, or a simplified design.

Step 3

Download or animate your stencil

Save your stencil design for printing, cutting, or transferring. You can also animate your stencil art with image-to-video AI or add it to video projects for process reveals and promo content.

Stencil creator for tattoo designs

Create tattoo stencils directly from reference photos or original artwork. Upload portraits, flash designs, or custom illustrations and prompt the AI to generate clean outlines. The AI removes background noise and emphasizes contours, so you can skip the manual tracing and lightbox work. For original tattoo concepts rather than photo conversions, use our AI tattoo generator to create designs from scratch.

Custom stencil maker for DIY craft projects

Generate cut-ready stencils for Cricut machines, vinyl cutting, screen printing, laser engraving, and woodburning. The online stencil maker also creates images for wall art, pumpkin carving patterns, and t-shirt transfer graphics. You can even turn family photos or pet pictures into coloring book pages. Upload your image, describe the stencil style you need, and download designs.

Image to stencil converter with video workflows

VEED connects your stencil art to video creation. Convert your photo to a stencil, then animate it with image-to-video AI for social media reveals and other creative videos. Create tutorial videos showing your craft process, or use stencil graphics as thumbnails. From stencil art to video creation, everything is available here in our platform.
