FREE ONE-TAP PHOTO TO PATTERN
Turn a photo into a cross stitch pattern in seconds, with every color matched to DMC or Anchor thread. Remove the background in one tap; cartoons and line art convert cleanly too.
FREE PATTERN DESIGN
Start from a blank grid: Pencil, Fill, Shape, Text, Selection and Magic Wand tools, plus layers and a trace image. Fractional stitches, backstitch, French knots and beads are all there.
SMOOTH 1000×1000 EDITING
Up to 1000×1000 stitches and 256 colors; panning, zooming and stitching never lag.
FREE PROGRESS TRACKING
Add a pattern to Progress and tap stitches as you finish them, free. See progress per color and stitch type, and park threads with parking marks. Works with imported OXS, .xsd and .pat charts too. With an unlock, you can also export a progress file to pick up on another device.
ONE-TAP CONFETTI CLEANUP
Declutter's confetti map marks stray stitches. Paint over an area and swap them for the surrounding color in one tap.
PRO PDF EXPORT, COMMERCIAL USE INCLUDED
Symbol chart, thread list and thread usage in one PDF, with adjustable paper size, center lines and symbol size. You own your patterns: sell the finished pieces or the patterns themselves (make sure you have the rights to any image you convert). OXS and PNG export too.
Also opens OXS, Pattern Maker (.xsd) and PCStitch (.pat) files. Fully offline, no account, no data collected; works on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
FREE VS. UNLOCKED
Converting, designing, editing and progress tracking are free, with up to 3 saved projects and 3 tracked patterns. Exporting, saving or tracking more, and applying Declutter need an unlock: a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase — same features either way. If a subscription ends, only those features lock again; your projects are never deleted.
Subscription terms: payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription automatically renews yearly unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel under Subscriptions in Settings.
