A keepsake, one little cross at a time
Make a cross stitch pattern from your pet photo.
Keep the tilt of an ear, the patch on a nose, the face you know by heart. Turn a favorite photo into a chart you can inspect, edit and stitch at your own pace.

From a photo to a practical chart
- Choose a clear cat or dog photo, then crop and adjust it.
- Select stitch width, a color limit and your fabric count.
- Inspect the real color and symbol grids. Compare cleanup before keeping it.
- Fix individual cells, then export your digital pattern.
Made on your device
The conversion runs in a browser Web Worker. No account or paid AI service is needed. Every filled grid cell uses one palette color; transparent or erased cells use no stitches.
A first version with honest limits
RGB swatches need manual matching to real floss. Fine whiskers may disappear at stitch resolution. The stitched preview is a simulation. We provide digital files, not materials or a finished piece.
Automatic software, with you in control
This version uses image resizing, median-cut color quantization and optional dithering and confetti cleanup. It does not use generative AI, facial recognition or a human designer. Conversion starts automatically after a photo is selected; review the result and make manual stitch edits yourself.
Preview, edit and download
Crop, zoom, rotate, adjust brightness and contrast, then choose 80, 100, 120 or 160 stitches wide and up to 8, 12, 16 or 24 colors. Compare the photo and chart, inspect color or black-and-white symbols, and view a clearly labeled stitch simulation. Paint or erase cells, undo and redo, then download a PDF with a symbol key, actual stitch counts and numbered chart tiles.
