Cardboard Cutout takes a high-resolution image and intelligently slices it into a grid of standard pages. Whether you are making a wall mural or a standee for a party, we handle the math so you can just print, trim, and tape.
Create life-size standees instantly. Our on-device AI automatically isolates the subject and removes the background. Customize your padding size and choose between white, black, or custom hex color borders with an optional dotted cut line.
Preview your poster at true 1:1 scale in your living room before wasting any ink. Use Apple ARKit to place the cutout in your real space. Tap the shutter to snap a photo, or hold it down to record a video!
Let your cutouts speak! Add custom text and emojis. Our AI automatically scans the image for facial landmarks to anchor the bubble perfectly to your subject's head.
Making a free-standing cutout is easier than ever. Our custom physics engine calculates the center of mass to generate a perfectly flat, stable bottom edge so your standee won't tip over.
Giant cutouts take a lot of ink. Toggle on our new CMYK halftone utility to drastically reduce printer ink usage while maintaining full, vibrant colors.
Use the precision slider to smoothly scale your image from a single page up to a massive 10x width wall mural. See the final physical dimensions instantly update as you slide.
Dropping a stack of 45 printed pages is a nightmare. We automatically print hidden Row and Column labels directly into the overlap margins to make taping your massive poster foolproof.
Optimized for a massive range of standard and international sizes including US Letter, Legal, Tabloid (11x17), A3, A4, A5, B4, and B5. Seamlessly toggle margin-less printing to eliminate white borders!
Imported a small image? Our engine automatically applies high-quality mathematical filtering and sharpening to ensure your final printed pages look as crisp as possible without jagged pixels.
Match your cutout to your event! Go beyond the standard white border and dial in any custom hex color for your standee's padding, complete with precise dotted cut-lines.
Cutout Mode uses on-device AI (Apple's Vision framework) to detect people, pets, or objects in your photo. It removes the background and generates a clean custom border with a dotted line, making it easy to cut out and mount on cardboard.
Yes! Once you set your scale, tap "View in Room". Using Augmented Reality, the app projects your actual poster into your physical space. AI Cutouts will automatically stand upright on your floor, while standard posters will snap flat against your walls!
You can use standard office paper, but card stock will make a more durable wall poster. For Standee Mode, we highly recommend card stock, but to make it stand up, you must glue the paper to a foam core board or sturdy cardboard backing. Paper alone will not stand up.
Every page prints with a dotted "Cut Line." We recommend using an X-Acto knife or scissors to trim along these lines. We also print an "Overlap" area (glue tab) containing smart Row/Column text guides. Simply apply tape or glue to the overlap area and place the next sheet on top for a seamless join.
No. You can use any standard inkjet or laser printer that supports AirPrint directly from your iPhone. You can also save the final output as a PDF to print from a computer later.

At HoneyWired, we believe your photos are private data. Cardboard Cutout is designed to operate completely offline.
All AI features, including background removal and facial landmark detection (used strictly to automatically position speech bubbles), run entirely on your device using Apple's local Vision framework. Your photos and facial data are never collected, tracked, or uploaded to a server.
We do not collect, store, share, or transmit any of your personal data, photos, or usage information. All image processing (slicing and scaling) happens locally.
The app requests access to your Photo Library solely to let you select an image to print, and to let you save snapshots/videos taken in the "View in Room" AR mode back to your camera roll. We do not (and cannot) view your library remotely.
If you use the "View in Room" feature, the app requires Camera access to power the Augmented Reality session and detect the floor. We do not record or transmit your camera feed.
There are no third-party analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising SDKs included in this app.
Cardboard Cutout is a paid application. Once purchased, you are granted a non-exclusive license to use the app indefinitely on your iOS devices. There are no advertisements or additional in-app purchases required to unlock features.
