pixel2stitch makes it easy to turn your favorite photos into detailed cross-stitch and bead patterns — then edit, customize and stitch them your way. WHY YOU WILL LOVE PIXEL2STITCH: • Turn photos into patterns Import photos from your gallery, camera, files or clipboard and convert them into detailed stitch or bead patterns. Choose from DMC, Anchor, Gamma, Madeira, Dimensions, Olympus and PNK thread palettes, or create patterns using Perler fusible beads. • Make the pattern yours Choose a pattern size from 25 to 320 stitches on the long side and control the number of colors to make your pattern as detailed or as simple as you want. Use a thread or bead brand palette, or create your own palette using only the colors you already have. Work with transparent PNG images and remove unwanted backgrounds. Replace or remove any color from an existing pattern without starting over. Quickly adapt a pattern to the threads or beads you already have. • Smart editor and progress tracking Mark completed crosses or beads directly on your pattern and keep track of your overall progress or progress for individual colors. Your progress is saved automatically, and iCloud sync lets you continue your patterns across your devices. • Export and material calculation Printable PDFs: Export your pattern split into convenient pages. Material Calculator: Estimate the floss length or bead count for each color so you know how much material you need. • Ready-Made Pattern Library Explore a growing library of ready-made patterns with carefully crafted details and backstitch where available.
