Master professional stencil creation with material-specific presets, structure analysis, and multiple export formats. Perfect for laser cutting, vinyl cutting, and professional applications.
What You'll Master
Advanced Features Guide
Material-Specific Presets
Our generator includes optimized presets for different materials and cutting methods. Each preset automatically adjusts edge strength and threshold for optimal results.
Cutting Machine Presets:
- • 🔥 Laser Cutting: Clean edges, precise cuts
- • ✂️ Vinyl Cutting: Cricut & Silhouette optimized
- • 🖨️ Paper/Cardboard: Manual cutting friendly
Application Presets:
- • 🎨 Screen Printing: High contrast for textiles
- • 🎯 Tattoo Stencils: Fine detail preservation
- • 🏠 Wall Art: Large format spray painting
Intelligent Structure Analysis
Our advanced analysis system automatically detects potential issues with your stencil structure and provides helpful warnings and suggestions.
What Our Analysis Detects:
- • Isolated Elements: Small pieces that might fall out
- • Structural Integrity: Areas that need bridges or support
- • Noise Detection: Too many small elements from over-processing
- • Large Solid Areas: Sections that might need internal structure
Professional Export Options

Professional Best Practices
✅ Professional Tips
- • Start with material presets, then fine-tune manually
- • Use structure analysis warnings to improve design
- • Export SVG for cutting machines, PNG for printing
- • Test small sections before cutting large materials
- • Keep backups of your optimal settings
🎯 Workflow Optimization
- 1. Upload high-quality source image
- 2. Select appropriate material preset
- 3. Review structure analysis warnings
- 4. Fine-tune parameters if needed
- 5. Choose correct export format
- 6. Test cut on sample material
Advanced Features FAQ
Which material preset should I use for my Cricut machine?
Use the "Vinyl Cutting" preset, which is specifically optimized for Cricut and Silhouette machines. It provides the right balance of edge detection and threshold for clean vinyl cuts.
What does the structure analysis warning mean?
Structure analysis detects potential issues like isolated elements that might fall out, or areas that need bridges for structural integrity. These warnings help you create more reliable stencils.
When should I use SVG vs PNG export?
Use SVG for cutting machines (laser cutters, Cricut, Silhouette) as it provides clean vector paths. Use PNG for printing, screen printing, or when you need a raster image for other applications.
Can I save my custom settings?
Currently, settings are not saved between sessions, but you can note down your optimal edge strength and threshold values for future use. We're working on a preset saving feature for future updates.
