Image Stencil Maker – AI-Powered Tool
Turn image into stencil using AI in seconds! Instantly create single-color SVG stencils perfect for crafts, printing, or digital design.
Smart Vectorization for Image Stencils
The AI Image Stencil Maker creates SVG stencils using image vectorization technology. When you upload a photo or logo, it is automatically converted into a clean vector outline, making it ideal for printing, engraving, or applying to various objects. By default, a pre-configured profile with tracing settings is used, but you also have the option to customize the outcome manually.
If you prefer, you can input a text query for AI, such as “increase contrast and reduce fine details,” and the AI assistant will automatically select the most suitable parameters. The final result is an SVG file that is ready for use in stencils for art projects, signage, clothing, and other applications.
How the Image Stencil Maker Works
- Upload Image – Select and upload any supported raster file (JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP). Stencil Maker automatically prepares it for stencil conversion.
- Quantize Colors (optional) – Reduce the number of colors to simplify the image and create cleaner, sharper stencil edges.
- Customize Your Stencil – Fine-tune threshold, smoothing and stroke width for the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Pick a single color for the final stencil output.
- Apply AI Settings – Describe what you want (e.g. “increase contrast, thicken lines”), and let AI fine-tune the result automatically.
- Download the Result – Save the stencil-ready SVG for printing, cutting, or web design use.
Modes & Parameters
| Area | Control | Range | What it does (under the hood) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quantize | colors | 1 – 255 | Palette size for RgbQuant (fewer colors -> smaller SVG, more -> better color fidelity). |
| method | 1 or 2 | 1 = uniform 1-D histogram, 2 = adaptive 2-D histogram. | |
| minHueCols | ≥ 0 (step 100) | Minimum distinct hues to keep when down-sampling. | |
| scale | 0.1 – 5 | Pre-scales the bitmap before quantization & tracing. | |
| grayscale | on/off | Converts to gray before quantizing (faster, tiny output). | |
| Vectorize | threshold | 0 – 200 | Error tolerance for Bézier-curve fitting fitCurve. Higher -> fewer path segments. |
| severity (= extent) | 0 – 10 | Smoothing radius in pixels (smooth / moving-average). | |
| line-width | 0 – 50 | Stroke width applied after scaling × 10. | |
| stencil | MonoColor | Keeps fills transparent and applies a single stroke colour. | |
| stencil colour | any CSS colour | The hue every path stroke will use. | |
| trace paths | on/off | Adds a mid-point marker (marker-mid) so you can inspect individual path segments. |
How to Formulate Effective Requests for the Image Stencil Maker
- Be specific about what you want to change in the image. Example: “Increase contrast for crisper shapes” or “Smooth out jagged edges.”
- Specify intended use or material. If you plan to engrave, or stencil print, include this. The AI will optimize the output accordingly. Example: “Prepare for laser engraving on 3mm plywood”.
- Keep each request focused on one adjustment for good results. Avoid combining multiple instructions in one request.
- Avoid vague terms like “make it better.” Instead, say what you want to improve and how. Example: “Remove background noise to highlight the center shape”.
By following these guidelines, you’ll receive precise, relevant suggestions to perfect your stencilling process.
