Upload a photo of your pet's paw print to see clean line art here.

  1. Upload a photo

    A paw or nose print on paper, or a clear photo of the pad itself.

  2. Dial it in

    Slide the ink-and-paper cut-off until the shape reads cleanly.

  3. Download

    Save a transparent PNG, or scalable SVG for tattoo artists and engravers.

It works with real, messy prints

Your print doesn't have to be perfect. If it has a smudge, an uneven spot, or a bit of grit, that's fine. The tool reads the dark ink against the paper, cleans up the stray marks, and traces the shape into clean line art.

You get a transparent PNG you can print or frame, plus an SVG you can send to a tattoo artist, engraver, or jeweller. Your photo stays on your device the whole time and is never uploaded.

Questions

Does my pet's photo get uploaded anywhere?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.

What photo works best?

An inked or clay paw print on plain paper gives the cleanest result. A direct photo of the pad works too: use even light and a plain background, and crop close before you upload.

Can I use the SVG for a tattoo or engraving?

Yes. The SVG is scalable line art, so a tattoo artist, engraver or jeweller can resize it without losing crispness. Download the solid version for fill, or the outline for a linework piece.

Does it work for cats as well as dogs?

Equally. Cat and dog paw and nose prints all trace the same way, so just adjust the cut-off and smoothing to suit the size of the print.

My print came out patchy. What can I fix?

Raise the smoothing a step to close small gaps, nudge the ink / paper cut-off, and set clean-up to Light or Medium to drop stray specks. If it is light ink on a dark surface, tick the invert box.
