Turn any image into a printable knitting pattern in seconds. Knitify is the knitting pattern generator built by a maker, for makers.

KEY FEATURES • Image to knitting pattern Turn any image into a knitting chart. Pick the grid width and Knitify handles the rest — color quantization, dithering, edge smoothing, and a color legend. • Project tracking Mark knitted rows as completed, undo mistakes, and switch between knit-preview and chart views.

Share via email, AirDrop, or any system share sheet. • Color and palette tools Pick the number of colors that fits your yarn stash. Adjust the palette before generating to match real yarn colors. • Stitch-aware gauge Compensates for non-square knit and crochet stitches so the printed chart matches the proportions of your image. • 14 languages Knitify is fully localized in English, Ukrainian, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, and Chinese. • Privacy-first No tracking SDKs.
