Use a photo or drawing. Ready-made papercut patterns are traced directly; other pictures get an AI redesign first.

Three Steps to Your Creation

Upload a picture, let AI redesign it, then trace and print.

Choose a flower, animal, or festive pattern you love.

For the Grown-ups

Is this made of paper?

This tool makes a papercut-style 3D model. The printed material depends on your printer and filament; it is not paper.

Will any photo become a traditional papercut?

AI redesigns your picture in a papercut style before tracing. Complex photos may be simplified. Compare the original and AI design, and redesign if needed.

Why are some shapes separate?

AI tries to connect shapes and strengthen thin details, but connections are not guaranteed. Inspect separate parts and the sliced model, and redesign if needed.

Does it use Magic Stars?

AI design and tracing use your vector-image entitlement, as shown beside the button and in your account. Redesigning submits a new task and uses the entitlement again. Rebuilding at a new size does not trace the image again.
