Can I use the free version for commercial work?
Free and Pro users may use stencils made from their own artwork, or artwork they are authorized to use, for personal and commercial projects, including client work and physical products. You retain any rights you hold in your original artwork. StencilMaker.app does not grant rights to third-party images, characters, trademarks or other protected content. You are responsible for obtaining the permissions needed for your use. Using the editor does not grant permission to resell or redistribute the StencilMaker.app service or branding. Demo images and library templates are governed by their stated source or license; a preview is not a blanket commercial license. Read the commercial-use terms.
Why do you ask for an account to download?
To save your projects and keep the tool running — not to charge you. Create a free account with an email and password, then return to the stencil you were editing.
