True 1:1 scale — no surprises
Set dimensions in cm or inches. The printout matches reality. A scale ruler is included so you can double-check with a tape measure.
Exact 1:1 scale
Print tattoo stencils at the size you actually need
Scale your design to exact body-placement dimensions. Print a high-contrast stencil across multiple pages.
Upload your artwork, set the target size in cm or inches, and download a multi-page PDF with alignment marks. Print on regular paper or thermal transfer sheets. What you measure on the printout is what you get on skin.
Three steps to a full-size stencil
01
Upload your design
Drop in your tattoo artwork — line art, flash sheets, custom pieces. PNG, JPG, SVG all work.
02
Set the exact size
Enter the real-world dimensions (e.g., 30 cm for a forearm piece). GridPrint splits it across pages at true 1:1 scale.
03
Print and transfer
Download the PDF with alignment marks. Print on thermal transfer paper or regular paper, assemble, and transfer to skin.

Frequently asked questions
Can I print on thermal transfer paper?
Yes. GridPrint outputs a standard PDF. Print it on any paper your printer accepts, including thermal transfer sheets.
How accurate is the sizing?
Exact — as long as you print at 100% scale (not "fit to page"). The assembly guide includes a scale ruler. Measure it with a real ruler to confirm.
Can I turn a photo into a stencil?
Yes. The edge detection effect converts any photo to line art. Adjust the threshold until the detail level looks right for your design.
How do I assemble a multi-page stencil?
Cut along the crop marks, overlap adjacent pages by the specified margin, and tape from behind. The assembly guide shows the page order.
