About this tool

FlossChart turns a photo into a printable cross-stitch pattern in your browser. Upload a picture, set the width in stitches (20 to 500) and the number of DMC floss colors (2 to 60), and clean up stray single stitches ("confetti") with one click. You get a chart with symbols, bold lines every 10 stitches, a floss list with stitch counts and skein estimates, and the finished size on 11, 14, 16 and 18 count Aida. Print it or download a PDF. The photo never leaves your device. The preview and floss list are free at every size, and charts up to 40 x 40 stitches print free. Bigger charts, up to 500 x 500 stitches, are a one-time EUR 5 unlock via PayPal: no account, no subscription. Available in English, German, French and Spanish.
