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.
