Tattoo stencil app for Android
Stencil AI runs on Android with the full toolset: three conversion styles, a retouch editor, Warp, Tattoo Mode and true-to-size printing through the Android print service. Most other stencil apps artists hear about are Apple-only, which is why the search for an Android one tends to come up empty. Here is what actually exists, as of 2026-10-01.
Which stencil apps run on Android

| Ghostline | No | iPhone and iPad only |
| TattooStencilPro | No | iPad and iPhone only ("iPad-first" per its listing) |

Printing from Android, specifically
Android has no AirPrint, so Stencil AI hands the sheet to the system print service with an explicit page size instead of a paper-size keyword. That is what keeps the print at true size on printers that otherwise rescale. It works with:
- Thermal stencil printers (Phomemo, OZER, Brother and similar) over Wi-Fi or a print-service plugin, using a dedicated thermal mode and thermal transfer paper.
- Inkjet printers such as the Epson EcoTank, loaded with inkjet stencil ink and inkjet stencil transfer paper.
- Any printer at all via the exported PDF, printed from a laptop at the station.
What differs from the iPhone version
One thing: LiDAR measurement of the placement area is iPhone Pro only, because it needs the LiDAR sensor. Everything else, including Warp, multi-stencil sheets, tiling for big pieces, Tattoo Mode and the 1,000-subject catalogue, is the same, and the same account works on both.
Common questions
Is there a tattoo stencil app for Android?
Yes. Stencil AI is on Google Play and converts a reference photo into a tattoo stencil in three styles, with a retouch editor and true-to-size printing. Stencify is also on Android. Ghostline, TattooStencilPro and Procreate are Apple-only.
Can I print a tattoo stencil from an Android phone or tablet?
Yes. Stencil AI prints through the Android system print service to any printer it can see, including thermal stencil printers and inkjets, at an exact millimetre page size so the stencil comes out at true size. You can also export a size-accurate PDF and print it from any computer.
Does the Android version have everything the iPhone version has?
Almost. Styles, retouch, Warp, multi-stencil and tiled printing, Tattoo Mode and the catalogue are all there. LiDAR measurement is the one iPhone-only feature, because it needs the LiDAR sensor on iPhone Pro models.
Does it work with a stylus on an Android tablet?
Yes. The retouch editor accepts stylus input, including pressure on tablets that report it, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab with S Pen.
Is my account shared between Android and the web?
Yes. One Stencil AI account works on Android, iPhone, iPad and the website. Stencils you make on the phone are in your gallery on the desktop a moment later.
