Cross Stitch Pattern Generator

Upload any photo and Cross Stitch Pattern Generator turns it into a stitch-ready chart. Choose the stitch count and the number of thread colors, and the tool maps every pixel region to the real DMC embroidery floss palette.

The generated chart includes a symbol grid, a full color key with DMC numbers, stitch counts per color, skein estimates and a shopping list so you know exactly what to buy. Large patterns are automatically split across multiple pages with overlap markers for easy assembly.

Everything runs in the browser with no account required for the preview. You can check the result, tweak the size and palette, and only pay if you want the printable PDF. The PDF is 5.99 dollars per photo. An optional Stitcher Pass subscription at 7.99 dollars per month unlocks unlimited PDFs and extra export options.

Built for cross stitchers who want to turn family photos, pet portraits or favorite images into accurate patterns without manually charting colors by hand.

How it works: drag a photo into the generator, pick a fabric count such as 14-count Aida, set the maximum number of DMC colors, and preview the stitched result side by side with the original. The color matching uses the official DMC floss palette so the chart lists real thread references you can buy in any craft store.

The printable PDF includes a symbol chart page, a complete color key, per-color stitch counts, skein estimates and a ready-made shopping list. Patterns larger than one page are split across multiple sheets with overlap guides so the pieces line up cleanly when stitched.

No design skills are needed. The browser preview is completely free and requires no account or signup; you only pay 5.99 dollars per photo when you decide to download the printable PDF, or 7.99 dollars per month for the optional Stitcher Pass with unlimited exports.
