Straight answers

Before you put it on the station.

Does StencilDrop upload my artwork?

No. StencilDrop processes the image on your iPhone or iPad. There is no account, artwork server, or image upload.

Can I use StencilDrop on iPad?

Yes. The iPad workspace keeps the stencil preview and editing controls visible together, which suits a studio or station workflow.

Can it mirror artwork for thermal transfer?

Yes. Mirror the finished stencil before sharing or printing when your transfer workflow reverses the image.

Which source images work best?

Use a clear subject, even lighting, and a background that is not too busy. Clean sketches and high-contrast artwork need the least adjustment.

How does export pricing work?

At export, choose a free 1400 px PNG with a modest watermark or unlock full-resolution, watermark-free PNG export once for $2.99. There is no subscription or credit system.
