Pic2Pat

Pic2Pat turns an uploaded photo into a cross-stitch pattern. You choose the pattern size and number of colours, and it generates a printable chart with a floss list.

It is a quick way to test whether a photo will work as a cross-stitch before you buy software.

  • Photo upload
  • Choose size and number of colours

Stitch Fiddle

Stitch Fiddle is a browser-based chart editor for knitters, crocheters and cross stitchers. You draw on a grid of stitches, pick colours and symbols, and can start a chart from a photo instead of a blank grid.

It suits colourwork such as Fair Isle, intarsia, tapestry crochet, C2C blankets and cross-stitch designs. The basic editor is free; a premium plan adds more features.
