StitchCraft is a free cross stitch pattern maker that runs in your browser. It converts photos or AI-generated images into custom cross stitch patterns with authentic DMC embroidery floss colors and creates printable PDF charts with symbol guides and thread legends.

The tool offers multiple creation methods: direct photo-to-pattern conversion or AI-powered image generation and editing. Users can customize the stitch grid, choose Aida fabric sizes, and preview stitches before downloading.

Core features include unlimited free photo conversion, DMC color matching with thread codes, unlimited PNG exports, five free PDF exports per account, and a commercial license for selling finished pieces. Optional AI image creation and editing require credits—billed monthly, yearly, or as one-time credit packs.

Shopper questions

Can I make a pattern for free?

Yes. Photo conversion, stitch previews, DMC color matching, PNG exports, and 5 PDF exports per account are free. You only need credits for AI image creation or editing.

Do I need any cross stitch experience?

You can start with a simple image and a small color palette. The exported PDF includes a symbol chart and DMC thread legend. You will still need fabric, floss, a needle, and basic cross stitch knowledge.

Which images work best?

Choose a clear subject, good contrast, and an uncluttered background. Photos, drawings, and simple illustrations all work. More stitches preserve detail; fewer colors make stitching simpler.

Can I sell the charts I export?

Yes. Free exports and paid renders both carry the commercial licence, so you can sell the charts and the finished pieces.

Which creation method should I choose?

Photo to pattern converts an image as it is. AI create & edit brings new ideas and image changes into one place: describe what you want, with an optional reference image. Both lead to the same pattern studio.
