Cross Stitch Pattern Maker PDF vs StitchDuck

Turn a favorite photo into a cross-stitch pattern you can make your own. Threadmap helps you plan a portrait, a pet keepsake, or a design from your own artwork, with a stitch grid and DMC thread references. FROM PHOTO TO PATTERN Choose and crop an image, then adjust the grid size and number of colors. Compare the preview with your original photo before deciding on your pattern. PLAN YOUR THREADS View thread colors, DMC codes, and stitch symbols. Adjust the palette and check estimated thread quantities and finished size to help prepare your materials. Color matches and quantities are estimates; screen colors may differ from real thread. PRINT AND KEEP YOUR PROJECTS With Threadmap Pro, save patterns in your library and export PDF charts. Choose color or black-and-white symbols, with a thread key and pages arranged for printing. Reopen saved projects when you are ready to stitch or export again. Photo conversion happens on your device. No Threadmap account is required. PRO SUBSCRIPTION Saving patterns and downloading PDFs require Threadmap Pro.

Turn a photo into a chart you can stitch in seconds. Or skip the photo and start from a blank grid, one stitch at a time. Fully offline, no account, no data collected. Designing is free; try exports free for 7 days, then subscribe yearly or buy once. PHOTO TO CHART • Any photo from your library becomes a chart in seconds • Crop and straighten first — built-in perspective correction fixes photos shot at an angle • Set stitch count and colour count (up to 100) with a live preview • Every colour lands on a real DMC or Anchor thread number, so you can shop straight from the list SPOT AND CLEAN UP CONFETTI Photo conversions leave stray stitches. The confetti map marks them in red, orange and yellow; paint the area to tidy, pick a level, and they're swapped for the surrounding colour in one go — fully undoable. EVERY STITCH TYPE Full, half, 3/4, 1/4, petite, backstitch, French knots and beads — fractional stitches and knots can all be drawn, undone and exported, not just full crosses. BIG FULL-COVERAGE CHARTS STAY SMOOTH Charts up to 1000×1000 stitches pan, zoom and draw without lag, with full undo and redo behind you. DESIGN IN LAYERS Up to 10 layers — tap a thumbnail to stitch on that one, and the others stay untouched. Rename, reorder, merge, hide. Any project can take a trace image underneath: move, rotate, scale and fade it as you like. A FULL EDITOR • Pencil, paint bucket, eraser, eyedropper, shapes, text, Declutter, Trace image • The paint bucket takes any stitch — fill or erase whole areas of fractional stitches too • Five brush and eraser sizes, so large areas go down in one pass • Backstitch can trace the outline of a colour block automatically, instead of segment by segment • Select any area to move, copy, mirror it — or rotate it to any angle and scale it proportionally • Resize the canvas whenever you like; you don't have to commit to a size up front COLOURS BY THREAD NUMBER • Built-in DMC and Anchor charts, plus your own custom colours • Blend up to 4 threads, with strand count set per colour • Stitch thickness follows the strand count — what you see is what you export • Every colour gets its own symbol, swap it whenever you like • Save favourite palettes as presets and reuse them THREE WAYS TO VIEW Flat blocks for the whole picture, realistic crosses for the look, black-and-white symbols to stitch from. IMPORT AND EXPORT • Open patterns you already have: OXS, Pattern Maker (.xsd), PCStitch (.pat) • Export a print-ready PDF: cover, symbol chart, floss list with how much thread to buy • PDF options: language, stitches per page, a 2-stitch overlap between pages, bold lines every 10 • Preview part of the PDF before you unlock • Also exports OXS, PNG and .sduck project files EIGHT INTERFACE LANGUAGES English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish and Russian — follows your system language and can be switched in Settings.
