Custom wood-burning patterns
Choose “Wood-burning pattern” and the artwork comes out as a lifelike graphite drawing with tonal shading, ready to transfer and burn. The lettering is set in real fonts, so the name and dates are crisp and spelled exactly right.
The PDF can include a mirrored second page for heat or graphite transfer. Any certificate you make can be turned into a matching pattern with the same artwork, at no extra cost.

Questions
What paper sizes can I print?
US Letter, A4 or 11×17, with the artwork fitted to the page. Add the mirrored transfer page if you transfer by heat or trace from the back.
Can I outline the letters?
Yes. Outline lettering gives you clean edges to burn and fill.
Do I need design skills?
No. Describe the person and the occasion in your own words, or start from one of the ideas on this page. The AI paints artwork made for them and lays out the page; you type the exact wording and pick lettering and colors. Every change shows on the design as you make it.
Can I fix the wording after the artwork is made?
Yes, as often as you like. The words are set in real fonts on top of the artwork, so changing a name, a date, the wording, the lettering style or the colors never redraws the artwork.
How do I print it?
Export a print-ready PDF sized for US Letter, A4 or 11×17. On an iPhone you can save it to Files, print it or mail it straight from the share sheet.
