Finder FAQ
Questions before choosing a template
Does this tool generate new paper cutting designs?+
No. It recommends existing templates and materials based on simple matching rules. That keeps the result predictable and easier to verify.
Can I use the free templates for a classroom?+
Yes. The available samples may be printed for students in a class you directly teach. Link to the source page rather than republishing the SVG files.
Are the material recommendations paid?+
No. The current recommendations link to the site's own category-level tool guide and do not use paid product links.
