Cookie cutter from a picture
Choose a picture with a dark shape on a light background; its outline becomes a blade 15 mm tall and 1.2 mm thin on a 1.6 mm rim that stiffens it and saves fingers. It is 60 mm across to start with.
What it is good for
- Cookies in the shape of a drawing, a logo or a pet
- Play dough and clay cutters
- Stencils for fondant
How to make it
- Open the app and click "Cookie cutter from a picture" on the start screen.
- Choose the picture; the outline is traced right in your browser.
- Make it bigger or smaller – blade and rim keep their thickness.
- Download for your printer.
Printing it
- Simple, bold shapes cut best; fine details under 3 mm will not.
- Print in PLA or PETG and wash by hand; for food, many people use cutters only for dough, not for storage.
Questions and answers
Does my picture leave my computer?
No. The picture is traced in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.
What if the outline is wrong?
Change the threshold in the shape's settings, or use a picture with more contrast.
