Crosserly: free cross stitch pattern maker from any photo

Turn any photo into a cross stitch pattern with real DMC thread colours, a clear symbol chart, a 3D preview and step-by-step help while you stitch. Free, with no account needed.

How it works

1. Choose a photo: a pet, a person, a place, a logo or a drawing.
2. Pick what is in it: photo, pet or person, portrait, logo or text, cartoon, painting, full coverage or beginner. Then set the size, fabric and number of colours.
3. Stitch it: download the chart as a PDF with symbols and a thread list, or follow Stitch Assist one step at a time.

What it does

• Real thread colours: DMC, Anchor, Madeira, Cosmo and more, with a shopping list of skeins.
• 3D preview: the pattern stitched in a hoop, the back of the work too.
• Stitch Assist: one step at a time, read aloud, with your place remembered.
• Edit by hand: draw, fill and erase stitches, backstitch and French knots.
• OXS files: open and save patterns from WinStitch, MacStitch, Stitchmate and others.
