How it works
Convert a photo into a cross stitch pattern directly in the browser-based app. Your photos stay on your device.
Use the AI background toggle to cut out messy backgrounds before the cross stitch chart is generated.
Adjust the DMC color palette, fabric size, and smart stitchability sliders to reduce confetti and keep the photo readable.
Instantly download a high-res, print-ready PDF blueprint with the symbol chart, floss list, and project details.
Real examples
StitchBitz turns the colours and shapes in a picture into a counted grid using real DMC floss shades. Open any example to inspect the chart, materials, and editable pattern.
Built for real projects
A useful photo-to-cross-stitch pattern maker needs to do more than pixelate an image. It should simplify the picture, map it to real thread colours, and leave you in control of the final chart.
Every generated colour is matched to a DMC thread code, so the chart maps to floss you can actually buy and stitch with.
Stitchability controls smooth noisy areas and reduce isolated confetti stitches while keeping the subject recognisable.
Your photo is processed on your device. It is not sent to StitchBitz or stored on a server.
Adjust colours, remove stitches, add backstitch detail, and check the floss list before exporting a PDF or JPG.
Better source, better chart
You can turn any image into a cross stitch pattern, but a few simple choices make the finished chart cleaner and easier to recognise.
Pets, portraits, flowers, ornaments, and simple objects usually translate more cleanly than a crowded scene.
A well-lit subject that stands apart from its background is easier to simplify into distinct thread colours.
Frame the part you care about first. A tighter crop gives the available stitches to the subject instead of empty space.
Good to know
The short version: it is free, private, editable, and designed to produce the files you need to start stitching.
