Cross Stitch Pattern Generator turns any photo into a stitch-ready cross stitch chart. Upload an image, choose the stitch count and the number of thread colors, and the tool maps the picture to the real DMC embroidery floss palette.

The generated output includes a symbol chart, a complete color key with DMC numbers, stitch counts per color, skein estimates and a shopping list so stitchers know exactly which floss to buy. Large patterns are automatically split across multiple pages with overlap markers so the printed sheets line up cleanly.

The preview runs entirely in the browser and needs no account. Stitchers can adjust the size and palette, compare the result side by side with the original photo, and only pay when they want the printable PDF. The PDF costs $5.99 per photo. An optional Stitcher Pass subscription at $7.99 per month unlocks unlimited PDF exports and additional options.

The tool is built for cross stitchers who want to turn family photos, pet portraits or favorite images into accurate patterns without charting colors by hand, and for gift makers who want a fast, reliable way to produce a personalized pattern with real thread references they can buy in any craft store. Free to try, fast to use, and honest about what a finished chart will look like before anything is printed.
