Hi Product Hunt!
I made CarveKin because turning a personal photo into a good pumpkin stencil is harder than it looks. A picture can look great on a screen but leave tiny connections, loose pieces, or details that disappear when the pumpkin is lit.
CarveKin starts with the glow. It makes a few interpretations of your photo so you can choose the one you like best. Each candidate then goes through carving checks that look for loose areas, narrow connections, hard-to-cut details, and weak support. Designs that do not pass are rejected or repaired and checked again.
You can choose a print size from 12 to 35 cm. CarveKin rebuilds and checks the pattern at that size, then gives you a PDF for Letter or A4 paper. A 50 mm check bar helps you confirm your printer used the right scale.
Some photos are harder than others, especially very young faces. If we cannot deliver an approved pattern, your credit stays available for a retry. Your source photo and working images are removed after 24 hours.
A single pattern is $4.99, and you can buy it without creating an account. The five-pattern Family pack is $9.99 and requires an account. I would love to see what you carve and hear what would make the experience better. 🎃
