Cross-stitch yarn canvas designer
Upload an image, generate an AI design, or start a blank canvas.
Stitchee is a free, browser-based cross-stitch pattern maker. Upload a photo and it is pixelated into a grid of yarn colours, with every stitch rendered as a woven cross on a virtual canvas. Pick your own palette, paint by hand, or start from a blank canvas.
When you are happy with your design, Stitchee builds a yarn legend that shows exactly which colours you need and how many stitches of each, then exports it as a crisp PNG chart you can print or share. Everything runs in your browser, so your projects stay private and there is nothing to install.
Drop in any image and Stitchee pixelates it and matches every cell to the nearest yarn colour in your palette.
Paint from a rich yarn palette, or switch to the full DMC floss library (487 stranded + 36 Light Effects) and match every cell to a real thread code. Pantone swatches and their nearest DMC codes are available too when the local colour database is compiled.
Get an automatic yarn legend with the exact colours and stitch counts you need for every part of your design.
Download your chart as a high-resolution PNG, save your project as JSON, and come back to it later — all in your browser.
