Before you
get started.
What can I make with Stencra?
Stencra is a tattoo stencil app for turning references into Outline, Tonal, Shading, Dotwork, Hatching, or Crosshatch outputs. You can refine the artwork, organize a library, preview body placement, and prepare exports or print pages.
Do I need an account?
You can generate AI stencils from images or descriptions and keep a local library as a guest. Sign in with Apple is optional and enables cloud backup. Local guest artwork cannot be recovered from Stencra after the app is deleted, so export work you want to keep.
Are my photos processed online?
Generate sends your selected reference image or description to our AI service. Refinement runs on your device. Optional Apple sign-in enables private backup of your stencil library and references. Body-preview photos and mockups stay local unless you choose to export or share them. See our Privacy Policy for details about how your data is handled.
Can I print a stencil at its actual size?
Yes. Set dimensions in cm, mm, or inches, choose paper size, and export a print-size PDF or prepare print pages. Verify your printer’s scaling and measure a test print before use. A compatible printer and appropriate paper are needed; Stencra does not include printing hardware.
Where can I get Stencra?
Download Stencra for iPhone and iPad from the App Store. Some features require Stencra Pro; current prices and subscription terms are shown in the app before you purchase.
