## What is String Art Generator?

Create string art with a continuous string for each color. 

Penelope makes it easy to create string art: just select an image, thread colors and how many nails you want. The app will create a step-by-step guide for you. For better string art, use high-contrast, simple images. Nail #1 is at the top of the circle, and numbers increase clockwise.

Features:
• String art generator with customizable canvas color and up to 10 different thread colors.
• Adjust circle diameter and thread width for a realistic preview of the final art piece.
• Voice announcement of the next nail during assembly. You will also be alerted when the color changes.
• Choose the number of nails and maximum number of connections.
• Export your project as a step-by-step guide.
• No sign-in is required: Your projects are backed up securely in your iCloud and synchronized across your devices.

If you have any suggestions on how to improve Penelope, feel free to contact the App Support email.

### 5/5 — best app for string art making

*2026-02-19*

i made a Picture of my granddad, who has unfortunately passed away, for my grandmom as a gift and she was absolutely stunned!! i am also really surprised how good it turned out. of course you need a lot of time to make something like that but it‘s really worth it! this app made it easy for me with the autoplay, that i could adjust to my speed, and you could see the progress you have made so far! i am really happy with how it turned out and will be using it again in the future!

**Developer response:** Wow, thank you for this review! I’m glad the art piece turned out good for you

### 5/5 — Work‘s nice!

*2025-08-27*

could you add pdf‘s in the app to print the background with the correct nail positions etc.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion! I have added it now, so if you update the app, you will see a printer button in the top-right corner when you open your project. If there’s anything else, just send me an email via the App Support email address
