Cross Stitch Pattern Maker (StitchCraft)

StitchCraft is a free online cross stitch pattern maker that turns your photos into printable charts mapped to real DMC thread colors.

What it does

• Photo to pattern: upload a JPG, PNG or WebP and StitchCraft converts it into a stitched preview and a symbol chart, matched to real DMC floss colors with thread codes and stitch counts.
• AI create & edit: describe what you want to make or change and let AI draft or tweak a design, or start from the built-in inspiration gallery.
• Control over size and complexity: adjust the stitch grid and Aida fabric size, cap the number of colors, or pick a preset (Simple 80 stitches / 16 colors, Balanced 120 / 24, Detailed 160 / 36) to match your fabric, your threads and your time.
• Print-ready PDF export: download the chart as a PDF and work from it at your hoop.
• Everything runs in your browser, and no account is needed for basic conversions.

Who it is for

• Cross stitchers who want to personalize their next project: pet portraits, family photos, wedding keepsakes or a favorite landscape.
• Beginners who would rather start with a small, simple palette than a dense 100-color chart.
• Designers and bloggers who need quick, clean charts to prototype ideas or share with readers.
• Anyone who wants to turn a picture or a sentence into a stitchable chart without learning complex desktop software.

The workflow stays simple: pick a photo or describe an idea, tune the stitch count and palette, preview how the finished piece will look, then print the PDF and start stitching. The interface is available in English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Turkish and Polish.
