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.
