Turn any photo into a clear cross-stitch chart, then keep your place as you stitch. Cross Stitch Grid Maker gives you the tools to design a pattern, plan your thread, stitch from the screen, and print a complete PDF—all from your iPhone or iPad. CREATE A PATTERN FROM ANY PHOTO • Import a favorite photo and crop it in the app • Make rectangular, square, or round patterns • Remove the background to focus on the main subject • Preview your design as colors, symbols, or both MAKE IT FIT YOUR PROJECT • Set the finished width in centimeters or inches • Choose your Aida fabric count and preview the fabric color • Adjust the detail level and use up to 50 colors • See the finished stitch dimensions before you begin PLAN WITH REAL DMC THREAD COLORS • Match your photo to a practical DMC thread palette • View every color with its number, name, symbol, and swatch • Get estimated thread lengths and skein quantities • Start with a ready-made palette or choose your own colors STITCH FROM YOUR SCREEN • Zoom and pan around the chart • See only the colors used in the visible area • Mark individual squares as completed • Track your percentage and stitch count at a glance • Reopen a saved pattern with your progress and chart position intact EXPORT A PRINT-READY PDF • Choose A4 or US Letter paper • Control the printed square size • Export a cover, tiled chart pages, and a full legend • Print, save, or share the finished pattern Your patterns are saved automatically in My Patterns, so you can return whenever you are ready for the next stitch. Turn any photo into a cross stitch chart you can actually stitch. Skeina matches your photo to real DMC thread colors, builds a symbol chart, and tells you how much floss to buy. Pick a photo, set the size, and stitch from the screen or print a PDF. REAL DMC THREADS Every color in a pattern is a real DMC number, not an approximation. Cap the palette at the number of colors you want to work with, or limit the pattern to a ready-made selection: Essentials, Grayscale, Sepia, Nature, Sky and Sea, Blossom, Autumn, Pastels. You can also hand-pick the exact threads you already own. THE SIZE YOU WANT Choose your fabric count (Aida 14 and friends) and the finished width in centimeters. The stitch grid follows. Crop to the original photo shape, a square, a circle, or standard portrait and landscape ratios. JUST THE SUBJECT Drop the background with one tap and stitch only your subject, so the fabric shows through around it. KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY The color list shows every thread in the pattern with an estimated floss length in meters and the number of skeins to buy, alongside the total stitch count and finished dimensions. STITCH ON SCREEN OR ON PAPER Read the chart right in the app: zoom into the area you are working on and the legend below shows only the colors on screen, so you match a symbol to a swatch without looking away. Or export a print-ready PDF with a cover page, symbol chart pages and a full thread legend. A4 or Letter, with the printed stitch square set to 2.5, 3.5 or 5 mm so the symbols stay readable. YOUR PATTERNS, KEPT Every processed pattern is saved to your library and reopens exactly as you left it. STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Photos are processed entirely on device. Nothing is uploaded.
