Turn a photo into a cross-stitch chart
Upload a photo or a drawing: Grillo picks the DMC threads, cleans up lone stitches and gives you the list of threads to buy.
Pick a simple picture
A sharp subject on a plain background makes a more readable chart than a busy scene.
Start small
80 to 120 stitches wide is plenty for a pet portrait; bigger means months of stitching.
Fewer threads, more fun
Between 15 and 30 threads the result stays faithful without endless thread changes.
