The Photo to Cross Stitch Pattern Converter
PhotoToStitch is an online cross stitch pattern maker that converts photos into stitchable patterns. Upload any picture and our converter maps each pixel to a real DMC thread color, reduces single-stitch "confetti", and outputs an editable pattern with a complete bill of materials.
Use it as a picture to cross stitch converter, a needlepoint pattern generator, or to create a custom cross stitch pattern from a photo as a gift. Free preview, only pay when you are ready to stitch.
Sign up for free to save your patterns and build a personal library. Purchase a single pattern when you are ready, or subscribe for 20 patterns a month.
