What the $2.99 pack includes

How to carve a pumpkin with a stencil

  1. Pick the right design. Bold shapes with thick connected lines are easiest. Thin lines snap, so for a first pumpkin choose the simplest of your variations.
  2. Print and trim. Print the stencil, cut away the extra paper and make small cuts around the edge so the sheet lies flat on the curve.
  3. Hollow the pumpkin. Cut the lid at an angle (so it does not fall in), scoop out the seeds and scrape the wall where you will carve until it is about 2–3 cm (1 in) thick.
  4. Transfer the design. Tape the stencil on and poke along every line with a pin or poking tool, every few millimetres. Peel the paper off and you will see a dotted outline.
  5. Carve the black areas. The black parts of the stencil are the holes. Start in the middle of the design and work outwards, cutting with a small serrated saw held straight.
  6. Light it up. Use an LED tea light or a candle. Rubbing petroleum jelly on the cut edges keeps the pumpkin fresh for a few extra days.

Questions

Is the AI pumpkin carving generator free?

Yes. Every design starts with a free preview (with a watermark), and you can make up to 8 free previews a day. If you like one, unlock the full pack for $2.99: the stencil at full resolution without the watermark, 3 more variations of the same idea, a photo-style preview of your pumpkin glowing at night, and a print-ready page.

Can I turn a photo of my dog or cat into a pumpkin stencil?

Yes. Choose “Use a pet photo” and upload a clear photo where your pet’s face is visible. The AI turns it into a black-and-white outline you can carve. Pets and objects only: photos of people are not supported.

Which AI model makes the stencils?

Stencils and glowing-pumpkin previews are generated with Nano Banana (Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), run on fal.ai. Every idea is checked by a content-safety filter before anything is generated.

Can I make a stencil of a movie or cartoon character?

No. Famous characters, logos, brands and real people are protected by copyright or trademark, so we only generate original designs: wolves, bats, cats, ghosts, haunted houses, skulls, witches, your own pet and anything else you can describe.

How do I print the stencil?

After unlocking, press “Print stencil”. The design is scaled to fill one Letter or A4 page. Tape it onto the pumpkin and follow the steps in the guide on this page.

What if the result is not good?

What happens to my photo?

Your photo is used only to make your stencil. Unpaid designs and photos are deleted after 3 days, unlocked packs after 30 days. There is no account, no gallery and no public sharing.
