Outline to Nail Map

Convert the design in black-and-white mode to get a clean outline, then in a vector editor apply evenly-spaced markers along the path — each marker is a nail position. Print at full board size and nail directly through the paper template.

  • Clean outline conversion is the foundation of the nail map
  • Editors space nail markers evenly along the vector path
  • Print at exact board dimensions — no scaling guesswork

Cutting Boards and Kits

Sellers use the same SVG to laser-cut board shapes and pre-drill nail holes, turning one converted design into a complete string art kit. The outline also cuts as a vinyl stencil for painting the board background before nailing.

  • Laser-cut board outlines and pre-marked nail holes from one file
  • Vinyl stencil for painted backgrounds cuts from the same outline
  • Scale kits to multiple sizes without redrawing the pattern

Frequently Asked Questions

How many nails does a typical converted design need?

Space nails 1-2 cm apart along the outline. A medium 30 cm design typically needs 80-150 nails — vector editors calculate the path length so you can plan spacing exactly.

Can I make multi-region string art from one conversion?

Yes — convert in color mode and each color region becomes a separate closed path. String each region in a different thread color for layered designs.
