What it is

Stitch Chart Maker turns pictures into cross stitch charts with DMC threads and lets you stitch from them on a screen. It is free, needs no account, and does its work in your browser, so your pictures stay on your device.

It is an independent project, not made by, endorsed by or connected with DMC or any app or software named on this site. DMC is a trademark of its owner, used here only to name thread colours.

How it works

Your picture is scaled to one square per stitch by averaging its pixels. Similar colours are grouped and each group is matched to the closest of 454 DMC threads using CIELAB colour distance, then lone single stitches are tidied into their neighbours.
