Eyes Mouth Carve a nose

How it works

Design first, carve second

Choose a look

Start from a preset expression or build your own: pick triangle, round or crescent eyes, then a jagged, grinning or toothy mouth.

Preview on the pumpkin

The face is drawn live on a rounded pumpkin shape with stem and ridges, exactly where the knife will go.

Download & carve

Save the PNG or print it at 100%, tape it on, trace the black cuts with a pin, and carve. No ruined pumpkins from last-minute doodles.

Why a designer?

Freehand doodles are how pumpkins get ruined

On Pinterest and Reddit the same story every year: people collect 50 templates they never carve, while the ones they do freehand end up lopsided or boring. This designer lets a whole family agree on one face before the knife comes out — kids pick the eyes, adults pick the mouth — and prints the result out for real transfer. Easy enough for a five-year-old, flexible enough for a show porch.

Can I use this as a carving stencil?

Yes — download the PNG, print it at 100% on A4, tape it to your pumpkin and trace the black areas with a pin, then carve. Pair it with our printable stencil templates for more designs.

My pumpkin is a different size. Will the face fit?

Scale the printout to your pumpkin: measure its widest point and resize the printout so the face is about 70% of that width. Every pumpkin is slightly lopsided, that is the charm.

Is the designer free?

Free forever, no account. Your design never leaves your browser — it is drawn on a canvas on your own screen.
