AI proofs for monument inscriptions
From a phone photo of a headstone to production-ready cut files.
Upload a phone photo of an existing headstone with a reference object in frame. Our AI measures the stone, matches the font, renders a photorealistic preview of your new inscription, and hands you production-ready DXF, PDF, and PLT cut files.

What people are saying
Quiet, useful, and faster than they expected.
Real notes from caretakers and dealers in our pilot regions.
I uploaded a phone photo of Mom's stone and within three minutes I had a proof that looked exactly like the original. We approved it the same evening.

Lexington, KY
My sandblaster used to lose an hour per stone on layout. Monumize hands me a clean DXF that drops right into the cutter — and the family approves the proof before I ever leave the cemetery.

Vance Memorials, OH
We replaced our paper intake form with a Monumize link in the sympathy packet. The questions families used to call us with are answered before they pick up the phone.

St. Joseph Cemetery, IN
The reference-quarter trick actually works. My measurements came in within 2 mm of what the dealer measured by hand the following week.

I run a two-person shop in eastern Tennessee. This is the first piece of software I've adopted in twelve years that immediately saved me time on day one.

Frequently asked.
Who is Monumize for?
Monument shops, cemeteries, and design studios producing new inscriptions on existing headstones — anywhere a photo and a reference object are easier to capture than a tape measure and a CAD seat.
What formats do I get?
DXF for CNC routers and laser cutters, PDF for a signed proof, and PLT for plotter-driven sandblast masks. All three are included in every job.
How accurate are the measurements?
Include a US quarter or a credit card in the photo. AI uses the known size of the reference object to calibrate dimensions to within a few millimeters.
What if the AI gets the font wrong?
The detected font is a starting suggestion. You pick the final font yourself from eight monument-industry options before generating the preview.
How do I get started?
Create an account, upload a photo of the stone, pick a font, and generate a preview. You only pay at the moment you are ready to download the cut files — no commitment to create an account or run the AI analysis.
Is my data private?
Yes. Every account is isolated; nobody else can see your jobs or files. Staff access is audit-logged.
Ready when you are.
Create your account in under a minute. Upload a stone photo, design the inscription with AI, and download the cut files.
