How to use the stencil generator
- Type your text. Capitals work best for stencils.
- Choose a stencil font, then turn spray dust up or off.
- Download a PNG, or an SVG for a vinyl cutter or laser.
Making a real stencil to cut out
To actually cut a stencil from card, acetate or vinyl, set it up for clean edges: Paper or white background, black fill, spray dust 0%, drips 0%. Download the SVG so the lines stay crisp when you print large. The "bridges" in stencil fonts (the little gaps in letters like O, A and B) keep the middle pieces attached, so don't skip them.
Which stencil font to use
| Font | Feel |
|---|---|
| Stardos Stencil | Classic military crate |
| Allerta Stencil | Clean, modern signage |
| Big Shoulders Stencil | Tall, condensed, industrial |
| Saira Stencil One | Techy and sporty |
| Emblema One | Bold, retro poster |
| Black Ops One | Gaming and tactical |
Spray-painted look
For the sprayed-on-a-wall vibe, keep the concrete background and push Spray dust to 60–80%. That adds overspray around each letter, just like a real stencil with a slightly lifted edge. Add a few drips if you want it to look rushed.
For tattoo lettering, check the tattoo font generator.
Stencil font generator for printing and cutting
Use it as a free stencil generator for craft projects or a stencil font generator for signs. Writers use it as a graffiti stencil generator too. For skin, read our tattoo stencil guide first, since tattoo stencils work differently from paint stencils.
Frequently asked questions
How do I print a stencil?
Choose the Paper background and a black solid fill with spray and drips off, download the SVG, and print it at the size you need. Cut out the black areas with a craft knife.

Yes. Download the SVG and import it into Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio. You may need to convert the text to outlines in the software.

A stencil font has small gaps, called bridges, in the letters so the inner parts of letters like O and A stay connected when cut out.

Yes. All stencil fonts here are from Google Fonts under the Open Font License.
Is this a free stencil text generator?
