FAQs
What is papercut illustration?
Papercut illustration is an image style built from distinct stacked paper layers, with soft drop shadows between the planes and clean knife-cut edges. Each element sits on its own plane with a shadow beneath it, giving the dimensional, hand-cut depth of kirigami. Layered forests and pop-up scenes are common examples.
Where can I make papercut illustrations with AI?
You can create papercut illustrations with AI on Morphic, right in your browser. Open the Image tool, describe the subject, the stacked layers, and the paper tones, and Morphic generates the cut-paper art. No installs and no design software are needed.
How do I get the layered depth and shadows in a papercut?
Ask for it directly in the prompt: "stacked paper planes receding into depth, soft drop shadow under each cut layer, clean knife edges." Naming the layer count and the shadow between planes is what builds the dimensional papercut depth.
How do I keep a set of papercut illustrations consistent?
Use the Style Transfer workflow to lock the paper tones, the layer count, and the shadow depth from your first papercut, then reference that style card across the set. Each scene differs while the whole series stays unified.
Can I add a title or caption to a papercut illustration on Morphic?
Yes. Generate the papercut with clear space reserved, then open the Canvas to place a title or caption. Keeping the type as a separate layer lets you adjust the wording without regenerating the cut-paper art.
Do I need paper-cutting skill to make papercut art?
No. Morphic runs in your browser and takes plain-language prompts, so no craft-knife skill is needed for papercut art. Anyone who can describe a subject, the layers, and the paper tones can produce a finished papercut.
