How it works

From photo to tattoo stencil in four steps

01

Upload your image

A photo, a drawing or a sketch with shading already worked out, in JPG or PNG.

02

Quality check

Before generating, SUBLYN checks the resolution and warns you if it's low. You decide whether to continue.

03

Generate the stencil

In seconds the line work appears, following your image's contrasts. The AI translates your image into lines — it doesn't invent a new design.

04

Adjust & download

Tune the line thickness so it reads when printed, then download a transparent PNG.

Real results
