Questions
Images with clear subjects, good contrast, and limited background clutter work best. Portraits, simple illustrations, and logos tend to convert particularly well.
No. All image processing happens locally in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.
Yes. The app exports a PDF with chart pages, a thread legend with DMC floss codes, and detailed stitch statistics.
It sets the maximum number of DMC thread colors to aim for. The actual color count may be slightly lower because some quantized colors map to the same DMC thread.
Fabric count (e.g. 14ct Aida) determines how densely spaced the holes are in the cloth. It controls the physical finished size of the stitched piece — not the stitch count itself.
It removes scattered single-stitch pixels that would be tedious to stitch and make the pattern hard to read. Increase the strength for simpler output.
Bold lines every 10 stitches (configurable) help you keep track of your position while stitching — a standard convention in cross stitch charts.
Yes. Large patterns are automatically tiled across multiple pages. You can control the number of stitches per page in Page Setup, and the live preview shows exactly how the pages will split.
