What Stencify is not

  • Not a web app or desktop program. It cannot be used in a browser or installed on Windows or Mac.
  • Not a drawing app. It converts and edits images; it does not replace a sketching tool.
  • Not a finished artwork generator. The output is a stencil: linework, with optional stipple, crosshatch or broken-line shading, not coloured tattoo art.
  • Not a printer. It exports files that you print on your own thermal or inkjet printer.

How it compares

Stencify differs from other stencil tools mainly in platform coverage, pricing model and editing features, and the app comparison pages set these out side by side for each competitor.
