Now in our 20th year! Since 2002, your old-school website for all things stencils.

Welcome to StencilArchive.org, home for 1000s of photographs, videos, and more. We never datamine user info nor do we use annoying pop ups to make you subscribe. We do not monetize content and we believe in keeping this project free and open.
