How to Convert PNG to Rhinestone Template

Step 1 — Upload Your PNG

Upload your PNG file to PictoRhinestone. Transparent areas in the PNG are automatically treated as background and will not receive stones in the generated pattern.

Step 2 — Configure Stone Settings

Select your stone sizes — SS6 for fine detail, SS10 for balanced results, SS16 or larger for bold designs. Set the number of colors between 1 and 10 to control the complexity of the color palette.

Step 3 — Adjust Output Size

Enter the production dimensions in millimeters. The aspect ratio is automatically maintained to prevent distortion.

Step 4 — Generate and Download

Click Generate to receive a free JPG preview. When satisfied, download the SVG or PDF production file for $2.99. No subscription required.

PNG Logos and Rhinestone Design

PNG logos are among the most popular source files for rhinestone template creation. A clean PNG logo with a transparent background converts into a precise rhinestone pattern that accurately represents the original design.

For the cleanest results with logos, use the maximum number of colors supported (up to 10) and select SS6 or SS10 stones for fine detail. Read our guide on Logo to Rhinestone Templates for more specific advice.

Silhouette and SVG Rhinestone Templates

Many users save their Silhouette Studio or Cricut designs as PNG files before converting to rhinestone templates. These silhouette-style designs — typically solid black shapes on white or transparent backgrounds — produce excellent single-color or two-color rhinestone patterns.
