EXAMPLES

From picture to porch.

Each pattern turns a picture into shapes you can cut: black areas are carved away and let light through, white areas stay on the pumpkin. Every example is labeled with what it is. The people and pets here are sample photos made with AI, so we could show you real patterns without sharing anyone's family photos.

One picture, three difficulty levels

The difficulty you choose decides how much fine detail your pattern keeps. Here is the same golden retriever at each level. Some pictures, like faces with glasses or striped fur, only hold together with finer detail; when your pattern passes at a harder level than you chose, we show you which level it is before you print.

Easy golden retriever pattern with the broadest shapes
Easy The broadest shapes and the least cutting.
Standard golden retriever pattern with more fur detail
Standard More fur and face detail.
Challenging golden retriever pattern with fine fur detail
