Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based cross-stitch pattern generator that converts a photo into a symbol chart using real DMC thread colours.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The generator processes the selected photograph in the browser, reduces it to a grid of symbols, and maps each colour to a nearest DMC solid thread. Users can set the width between 20 and 400 stitches and limit the palette to 2–44 colours; the page notes that merged matches may produce fewer colours than requested. Its outputs include a multi-page A4 PDF and an OXS file intended for cross-stitch software, although downloads are passcode-protected.
