Photo Cross Stitch Pattern

Turn any photo into a real cross-stitch pattern you can actually stitch. Threadly takes a picture from your library and builds a proper counted cross-stitch chart — mapped to true DMC floss codes, drawn as a clear symbol grid, and exported as a clean, printable multi-page PDF with a full thread legend. No guessing which colors to buy. No fuzzy screenshots to squint at. Just a chart you can print, pin up, and stitch. You stay in control. Choose your grid size to match your fabric and finished dimensions, and set how many colors you want — fewer for a bold, beginner-friendly design, more for rich detail. Threadly picks the closest real DMC threads for you and lays everything out automatically. Everything happens right on your iPhone. Your photos are never uploaded, and there's no account to make. Pay once — no subscription, no per-pattern fees, no watermarks. FEATURES • PHOTO TO PATTERN — turn any photo into a counted cross-stitch chart in seconds. • REAL DMC COLORS — every shade mapped to an actual DMC floss code so you know exactly what to buy. • SYMBOL CHART — a clean, readable grid with a distinct symbol per color, the way stitchers expect. • PRINTABLE PDF — export a multi-page PDF with the chart plus a complete thread legend, ready to print at home. • C2C CROCHET — the same grid as a corner-to-corner graph, with diagonal row numbers from the bottom-left and written increase/decrease rows. • PICK YOUR GRID SIZE — control stitch count and finished size to match your fabric. • CHOOSE YOUR COLORS — set how many thread colors to use, from simple to detailed. • 100% ON-DEVICE — no uploads, no account, no cloud. Your photos stay on your phone. • PAY ONCE — one honest price. No subscription. No hidden unlocks. Whether it's a pet, a portrait, a landscape, or a favorite memory, Threadly turns it into a pattern you can hold in your hands and stitch stitch by stitch.
