From camera roll to first stitch

01

Close portraits with simple backgrounds preserve the features that make your pet recognizable.

Shape the project

Adjust the stitch width and number of colors until the detail and workload feel right.

03

Take the chart with you

Download a color chart or print a symbol version with the thread list beside you.

Before you begin

A few useful answers

Does my photo leave my device?

No. This first version processes the image entirely inside your browser. Closing the tab clears the working image.

Are the thread colors exact?

The chart uses a practical starter palette with familiar DMC-style references. Screen colors vary, so compare the listed skeins in person before buying a large quantity.

What photo works best?

Use a sharp, evenly lit image where the eyes are visible and your pet fills most of the frame. Busy backgrounds consume stitches without helping the portrait.

Is this already the paid version?

No. Pattern creation and export are free during the prototype stage while we improve the quality with real stitchers.

Photo prep

Frame your pet

Drag the photo to reposition it. Use the brushes to refine the background.

Tip

Simple, evenly lit backgrounds work best. Restore around whiskers, ears, and fur if the automatic removal goes too far.
