How to turn your photos into stencil drawings

This Seeking Tech guide will show you how to convert your photos into stencil drawings.

1. For the first step, go to the Free Picture Stencil Maker page of the Rapid Resizer website.

2. From there, click the Select an Image from Your Device button, and then upload your photo.

3. You can then begin applying the stencil filter to your photo.

While there is an option that lets you zoom in, I suggest that you leave it to fully zoom out. By doing so, you will be able to use the slider on the right side to switch between the original and edited photos.

4. Next, you can switch between the following stencil styles:

  • Edges
  • Thin
  • Threshold
  • Adaptive
  • Color

5. The Black/White and Sharpness/Softness sliders are also available. You can use these to further adjust the stencil effect.

6. Some styles also have an Outline box that will change the stencil render as well.

7. Play around with these settings you find a combination that works well for your photo.

8. Once you are done, click the Download button and then the Save to Computer link.
