Can I use a dog, cat or family photo?
Yes. Use one clear subject per pattern, close up and in good light. You can crop away the background before you continue. See more photo and pattern examples.
Do I get three printable patterns?
One credit buys one approved pattern. We draw three designs and check each one; you choose from those that pass. Some photos produce fewer passing options. Your chosen pattern includes Letter and A4 PDFs and a carving map.
Are these photographs of finished carvings?
The pumpkin image is an AI visualization based on the actual stencil shown beside it. The people and pets in our examples are sample photos made with AI. These images illustrate the designs; they do not replace physical carving tests or guarantee an identical finished pumpkin.
What if my pattern doesn't work?
If we cannot produce an approved pattern, you keep your credit for a bounded retry and can request a refund. If the pattern clearly does not resemble your subject, you can request a refund within 30 days of purchase. Read the refund policy.
Can I make patterns for the whole family?
The $9.99 Family pack includes 5 credits for 5 approved patterns. It requires a verified account so you can keep and use the remaining credits. Choose it after cropping your first photo.
