Turn any photo into a tattoo-ready stencil in seconds — right on your phone.

InkTrace converts your reference photos into crisp, printable stencil line work. No tracing for hours in a drawing app, no uploading your clients' photos to someone else's server: every image is processed entirely on your device.

FOUR STENCIL STYLES

- Outline — clean, single-weight edge lines. Perfect for simple designs, lettering references and bold traditional work.
- Standard — outlines plus smooth halftone shading. Ideal for realism and portrait references.
- Hatching — engraved cross-hatch tone with five density levels. Maximum depth for portraits and complex realism.
- AI Line Art — studio-quality hand-drawn line work generated by an on-device AI model. No internet needed.

BUILT FOR WORKING ARTISTS

- Before/after slider to compare the stencil against your reference
- Detail and shading controls to dial in exactly how much line work you want
- Classic stencil purple, black, red or green line colors
- White or transparent background export
- High-resolution PNG output, ready for thermal transfer paper or hand tracing
- Personal gallery that keeps every stencil you save, organized by style

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your photos never leave your phone. InkTrace has no accounts, no cloud, no analytics and collects zero data. Everything — including your saved stencils — stays on your device. It even works with airplane mode on.
