This cross stitch pattern maker turns your photo into a chart on your phone. Pick a picture, set the size in stitches and the number of colors, and the app draws a symbol chart with a color key. The photo is converted on your phone and you need no account.
The free version makes charts up to 80 × 80 stitches in up to 16 colors. The full version is a one-time purchase.
From photo to chart
• Size: 10 to 80 stitches per side, up to 500 in the full version.
• Crop: the photo's shape, square, 4:5, 5:4, 3:4 or 4:3.
• Fabric count: 11, 14, 16 or 18, with the finished size in centimeters and inches.
• Colors: 2 to 16, up to 60 in the full version, picked from the app's palette of 108 shades.
• Remove stray stitches: single stitches and tiny specks join the color around them.
• Smooth shading: off, light or full.
Follow the chart
• View the chart in color, in symbols or both, and pinch to zoom.
• Color key: stitch count and an estimated number of skeins for each color.
• Progress: drag over finished stitches and see the percent done, overall and per color.
Editing tools (full version)
• Brush, fill and eraser, with undo and redo.
• Swap one color for another, merge two colors or add a new one.
Export
• PNG image of the chart with its key.
• PDF on A4 pages to print: a cover, the color key, a page map and chart pages that overlap by two stitches. In the free version each PDF takes one watched ad.
Diamond painting (full version)
The same photo can become a diamond painting pattern: 2.5 or 2.8 mm drills, square or round, with a drill count per color and 10% spare.

FAQ
Which thread numbers does the key use?
None. The key shows the app's own color codes and plain color names, not a thread maker's numbers. Match your threads to the color swatches.
What does the app use the internet for?
The photo is turned into a chart on the phone itself, not on a server. Ads, usage statistics and the purchase use the internet.
Which pictures can I use?
Photos you have the rights to.
