Design, Price, Proof and Produce Monuments Online
MonuOS is browser-based monument and headstone design software — a web-based monument designer: lay out the stone on screen with live, editable engraving text, watch the price update from your own price book as you work, send a no-login proof to the family, then produce it — the same design flows into your production board and file lab and turns into cut-ready sandblast stencils or laser-ready engraving files. Nothing to install.
Design to production, without leaving the browser.
One design carries from the first letter to the machine — no exporting, re-tracing, or handing artwork to a separate tool.
Lay out the stone
Add live editable engraving text in any of 11 monument fonts, apply V-Cut, Frost, Polish, or Outline treatments, and see it previewed on the stone as you type, drag, and resize.
Price it and send it
Live "why this price" pricing updates from your own Monument Price List and Price Levels as you design. Send the design to the family as a no-login proof to view, comment, request revisions, or approve — every step timestamped.
Stencil or laser
The approved design flows into the same platform's production board and file lab, where the artwork becomes cut-ready sandblast stencils (SVG + DXF) or laser-ready engraving files.
Lettering you can trust on the stone.
Design the memorial on screen with live, editable engraving text — then export production files that carry real letter geometry, not font references.
11 monument fonts
Trade lettering styles built in, edited live on the stone — type, drag, resize, and see the engraving update as you work.
V-Cut, Frost, Polish, Outline
Real trade letter treatments, previewed on the design so the family approves what the shop will actually cut.
True-inch exports, real glyph outlines
Every export converts text to real glyph outlines at true physical inches — no font-substitution risk on the engraver's machine.
Priced and proofed as you design.
Design, price, and approval happen in the same window — the family sees a clean proof, and you see the number.
Live "why this price"
Pricing updates from your shop's own Monument Price List and Price Levels as you design, so you always know what the design costs before it goes out.
No-login family proofs
Send the design to the family as a secure link — they view it, comment, request revisions, or approve without an account, and every action is timestamped.
Flows into production
Once approved, the design moves into the production board and file lab in the same platform — no re-exporting or re-tracing to get it to the shop floor.
Becomes cut-ready files
The artwork can be turned into cut-ready sandblast stencils as SVG and DXF, or prepared as laser-ready engraving files.
Browser-based, nothing to install
The whole designer runs in the cloud — open it on any device, with no software to download, license, or update.
Part of the whole shop OS
The designer lives inside the same platform as your orders, quotes, proofs, payments, and production — one system, not a bolt-on tool.
Exports convert text to real glyph outlines at true physical inches so lettering imports at the correct size on the machine. Last verified: July 17, 2026.
Real screens from the actual platform.
Not mockups — this is where a design becomes engraving-ready artwork.
Who it's for
If you letter and lay out memorials, the designer is built around your bench.
Monument designers & letterers
Anyone laying out a stone wants live editable engraving text and real trade treatments they can preview before committing to a cut.
Retail sales staff
Front-counter staff can design a memorial with the family, show live pricing from the shop's own book, and send a proof on the spot.
Production shops
Shops that cut their own work want a design that exports at true inches with real glyph outlines and flows straight into the file lab.
One platform, design to done.
Design is one surface. The same platform produces the files and runs the shop.
Sandblast stencils
Turn the approved artwork into cut-ready stencils with validated SVG and DXF — see the sandblast stencil software.
Laser & photo engraving
Prepare a family's photo for laser engraving in the AI Photo Studio — see the laser engraving software.
Shop management
Run the quotes, orders, proofs, and payments behind every design — see the monument shop management software.
Frequently asked questions
Is MonuOS monument design software online or a download?
It is fully web-based. The Monument Designer runs in your browser with nothing to install — open it on any device and your work is there.
Is this headstone design software too?
Yes. The Monument Designer lays out headstones and memorials of any shape your shop sells — the lettering, treatments, live pricing, family proofs, and true-inch production exports work the same way for an upright monument or a headstone.
What fonts and letter treatments can I use?
The designer includes 11 monument fonts and real trade letter treatments — V-Cut, Frost, Polish, and Outline — all previewed live on the stone as you design.
Will the lettering come out the right size on the machine?
Yes. Every export is at true physical inches and converts text to real glyph outlines, so there is no font-substitution risk on the engraver's machine.
How do families approve a design?
You send the design as a no-login proof link. The family can view it, comment, request revisions, or approve — and every step is timestamped.
Does the price update while I design?
Yes. Live "why this price" pricing comes from your shop's own Monument Price List and Price Levels and updates as you design.
What happens after a design is approved?
The design flows into the same platform's production board and file lab, where the artwork can become cut-ready sandblast stencils (SVG + DXF) or laser-ready engraving files. See the pricing page for plan details.
Design the stone, price it, and proof it — all online.
Lay out a memorial with live engraving text, watch the price update from your own book, and send the family a proof from one platform.
