PHOTO MAPPER
Got a part with no template? Map it. Photograph it, tap two points a known distance apart, and the mapper traces it and scales it true — you get a print-ready 1:1 template of the outline and the holes.

How it works
- Photograph it straight-on. Lay the part flat on a plain background that contrasts with it — background showing all around the edges — and shoot straight down at it, not at an angle. A ruler or a known-size object in the frame helps. Works on anything you can lay flat and photograph straight-on: gaskets, plates, panels, brackets.
- Upload the photo below.
- Tap two points on the photo that span a distance you know — two ruler marks, two bolt holes — and type that distance and pick its unit (inches, mm, or cm). That sets the true scale for the whole template.
Before you cut metal: a photo can stretch a part
(lens angle, tilt), so every template from this tool is stamped
“MAPPED FROM PHOTO — PAPER-CHECK AGAINST THE PART BEFORE CUTTING
METAL.” Print it, lay the paper on the real part, check the
calibration square and the outline against the part — then fab.

Map your part
Tap the photo to drop point 1, then point 2 — the two ends of a distance you know. Tap again to start over.
Mapped.
Print at 100% / actual size — never “fit to page.” Check the calibration square with a ruler, then paper-check the template against the part before cutting.
