Count & Canvas
Chart designer for stitchers
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Count & Canvas is a warm, all-in-one studio for needlepoint and counted cross-stitch — design your own charts, plan your floss, and track every stitch, all on your device and all offline.
Whether you're charting a keepsake sampler, converting a favorite photo into a stitchable pattern, or just working out how much thread to buy, Count & Canvas keeps the whole process in one calm, uncluttered place.
DESIGN YOUR OWN CHARTS
• A full chart designer with pencil, line, rectangle, fill, and eraser tools
• Switch between a painted "needlepoint" look and a symbol chart for counted work
• Build palettes from real DMC colors, or generate a palette from a single shade
• Add frames, borders, backgrounds, monograms, and clip-art motifs
• Layers, undo/redo, and a "check stitchability" helper that flags tricky diagonals
PHOTO → PATTERN
• Import any photo and turn it into a stitchable chart
• Choose your color count and let smart options boost contrast, keep edges crisp, dither gradients, and clean up stray pixels
• Great for pets, flowers, landscapes, and portraits
COUNT EVERYTHING
• Live thread list with per-color stitch counts, yardage estimates, and skein totals — your shopping list, done
• Canvas & yardage calculator for any design size, mesh count, and margin
• Stitch tracker with progress, "mark all," and fade-completed so you always know where you left off
• Stash check matches a pattern against the floss you already own
SEE IT TRUE-SIZE
• "Actual size" preview shows your finished piece at real dimensions
• Stitched-look rendering previews how the tent stitches will read on canvas
PRINT & EXPORT
• Print true-size charts, symbol charts, and a full project packet
• Export your pattern as a file, SVG, true-size PNG, or Cricut-ready outline via the share sheet
YOURS, AND PRIVATE
• Works completely offline — no account, no sign-up
• Your projects and stash stay saved on your device; nothing is collected or uploaded
Made for stitchers, one thread at a time.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
A cozier, calmer redesign of the chart Designer — cleaner tools, less clutter, and a tidier layout. Plus a new in-app button to send feedback and feature ideas, and small polish and bug fixes. Happy stitching!
