- For black-and-white scans at 200 dpi or higher, Grillo reports recognizing more than 99% of stitches in its tests.
Field notes
For uploaded charts, the workflow reads the legend, groups repeated symbols, and lets users supply a missing thread number before exporting. The page says scans of at least 200 dpi achieved over 99% stitch recognition in its tests; it also cautions that displayed DMC colors are approximations, so the thread number—not the screen color—is the reliable reference. Grillo says uploaded files are deleted after one hour.
